Amphenol ICC 89008-126 Backplane Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89008-126 is a 120-position PCB header connector from the Metral® series, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features male pins with press-fit termination and gold-plated contacts rated for 1A current at operating temperatures between -55°C and 125°C.

The 89008-126 is classified as obsolete. Locating active equivalent parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, supply chain reliability, and compliance with current regulatory standards for new production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89008-126LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical 120-position configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 5-row layout, 1A current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• Mechanical Compatibility: Same connector type (Header, Male Pins), through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination
• Contact Specifications: Identical gold plating thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Material Standards: Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification
• Series Continuity: Both belong to the Metral® connector series

The primary distinction is product status: the 89008-126 is obsolete, while the 89008-126LF is active production. The 89008-126LF also offers improved regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected) compared to the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89008-126LF is the appropriate selection for new designs and production applications. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 89008-126 while offering active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 89008-126LF is mandatory. The active production status of the 89008-126LF ensures long-term supply chain availability and support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original part number.

The 89008-126 should be reserved for legacy system maintenance only where existing inventory is available and regulatory compliance is not a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89008-126LF be used as a direct replacement for the 89008-126?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (120 positions, 0.079" pitch, 5 rows, 1A rating, -55°C to 125°C operating range), mechanical configuration (through-hole, press-fit termination), and contact finish (gold, 30.0µin thickness). The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 89008-126 to 89008-126LF?

A: The 89008-126 is obsolete, while the 89008-126LF is in active production. Additionally, the 89008-126LF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part is non-compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 89008-126LF is required.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 89008-126LF is supplied in tube packaging. The original 89008-126 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: Do both parts meet the same flammability and moisture sensitivity standards?

A: Yes. Both the 89008-126 and 89008-126LF meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What is the difference in REACH status between these parts?

A: The 89008-126 is REACH Unaffected, while the 89008-126LF is REACH Affected. This indicates the 89008-126LF is subject to REACH regulatory requirements, reflecting its active production status and current regulatory alignment.
