Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89094-902 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: The substitute must maintain 120 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Mounting Configuration: Board edge mounting with through-hole, right-angle termination is mandatory. The connector must accommodate the same physical orientation and installation method.

Termination Method: Press-fit termination is required to match the original installation process and board integration.

Mechanical Features: Board guide and spacer elements must be present to ensure proper alignment and structural integrity.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must support the voltage and current requirements of the application. The original 1000V / 1A rating establishes the minimum electrical performance threshold.

Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C define the environmental operating envelope.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 223008-4 qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, mechanical features, and flammability rating. Differences in voltage rating, current rating specification, and operating temperature range are noted in the parameter comparison.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 223008-4 is an active product substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 89094-902. Both connectors share identical mechanical and positional specifications, ensuring direct compatibility with existing PCB designs and mating connectors.

The 223008-4 offers extended operating temperature capability (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C) and specified gold contact finish, providing enhanced environmental performance and contact reliability. Both products maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

The voltage rating difference (30V versus 1000V) and unspecified current rating on the substitute require application-level verification to confirm suitability for the intended electrical environment. Selection should be based on the actual voltage and current requirements of the circuit, not the original part's ratings.

Both connectors are RoHS non-compliant, maintaining consistency with legacy system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 223008-4 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 89094-902?

A: Yes, from a mechanical and positional standpoint. Both connectors feature 120 positions at 0.079" pitch, board edge mounting with right-angle termination, and press-fit installation. Electrical compatibility must be verified based on your application's voltage and current requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between the two connectors?

A: The original 89094-902 is rated for 1000V, while the 223008-4 is rated for 30V. This difference reflects the design intent of each connector for different application classes. Verify that your circuit operates within the 30V maximum for the substitute part.

Q: Are there any differences in contact materials or finishes?

A: The 223008-4 specifies gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, while the original part does not specify contact finish details. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability, which may improve performance in certain environments.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the 223008-4 affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute's extended range (-55°C to 125°C) encompasses the original specification (-55°C to 105°C), ensuring compatibility across the original operating envelope and providing additional thermal margin.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the 89094-902 and 223008-4 are RoHS non-compliant, maintaining consistency with legacy system requirements and existing inventory.

Q: What is the current availability status of each connector?

A: The 89094-902 is obsolete with 883 pieces in stock. The 223008-4 is an active product with 803 pieces in stock, providing ongoing supply assurance for new applications and replacements.
