Amphenol ICC 89007-121 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89007-121 is a 60-position backplane connector header with male pins designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This connector is part of the Metral® series and features press-fit termination with gold-plated contacts rated for 1A continuous current. The part maintains active product status and is widely used in industrial and computing applications requiring reliable multi-position interconnection.

Substitute parts are identified to address component availability, compliance requirements, and manufacturing specifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the defined parameter set.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89007-121 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes must maintain 60 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
Physical Configuration: 5-row arrangement with through-hole mounting and press-fit termination
Contact Properties: Gold finish with equivalent current-carrying capacity
Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 classification

The identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in RoHS compliance status, REACH classification, and connector style (Futurebus variant) do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter boundaries.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

89007-121LF is a direct equivalent to the 89007-121 within the Metral® series. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the 89007-121LF meets RoHS requirements while the original 89007-121 does not. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection of the 89007-121LF is appropriate when RoHS compliance is mandated by design or regulatory requirements.

5223002-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Z-PACK series) satisfies all critical substitution parameters: 60 positions, 0.079" pitch, 5-row configuration, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, gold contacts, and identical operating temperature and flammability ratings. This part is ROHS3 compliant. The connector style designation as Futurebus does not alter functional compatibility within the specified parameter set. Selection of the 5223002-2 is appropriate when cross-manufacturer sourcing or enhanced compliance certifications are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 89007-121LF be used as a direct replacement for 89007-121?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) within the Metral® series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 89007-121LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 89007-121 is not. Substitution is valid when component specifications and compliance requirements are met.

Q: What is the functional difference between the Metral® and Z-PACK series connectors?

A: Within the specified parameter boundaries, both series provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance. The 5223002-2 (Z-PACK) and 89007-121 (Metral®) maintain identical position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and environmental ratings. Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization and does not affect interchangeability for the defined application parameters.

Q: Is the Futurebus designation on the 5223002-2 a compatibility concern?

A: No. The Futurebus connector style indicates the physical form factor and contact arrangement, which aligns with the 60-position, 0.079" pitch, 5-row configuration required for substitution. This designation does not restrict compatibility within applications requiring these specifications.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish thickness between substitutes?

A: The 89007-121 and 89007-121LF specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness. The 5223002-2 does not provide contact finish thickness specification in the available data. Both parts maintain gold contact finish and are functionally equivalent within the defined parameter set.

Q: What compliance certifications should be verified for new designs?

A: All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The 89007-121LF and 5223002-2 are RoHS compliant (RoHS and ROHS3 respectively), while the 89007-121 is RoHS non-compliant. REACH status varies: 89007-121LF is REACH Affected, 5223002-2 is Vendor Undefined, and 89007-121 is REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements should be confirmed against specific design and regulatory standards.
