Amphenol ICC 89297-150 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89297-150 is a shrouded rectangular header connector with 100 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. This through-hole connector is designed for board-to-board applications with push-pull fastening and gold-plated mating contacts. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC 87407-150LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 89297-150 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type, contact type, and position count (100 positions, 2 rows)
• Matching pitch specifications (0.050" mating pitch and row spacing)
• Identical mounting configuration (through-hole, board-to-board, push-pull fastening)
• Identical shrouding design (shrouded 4-wall construction)
• Matching insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled; UL94 V-0)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 130°C)
• Same series designation (Rib-Cage™)

The 87407-150LF represents the active production equivalent with enhanced compliance status and improved post-contact specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC 87407-150LF is the direct active production substitute for the obsolete 89297-150. Selection of the 87407-150LF is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance of the 87407-150LF meets current regulatory requirements, whereas the 89297-150 is RoHS non-compliant
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications maintain full compatibility with existing board designs and mating connectors
• Post-contact finish change from Tin-Lead to Tin aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards
• Packaging in tube format supports standard component handling and assembly processes
• Current rating specification (1A DC) and mated stacking height (6.3mm) are documented for the substitute part

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87407-150LF be used as a direct replacement for the 89297-150 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 87407-150LF maintains identical mating pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.050"), position count (100 positions, 2 rows), shrouding configuration, mounting type, and operating temperature range. The connector will mate with existing receptacles designed for the 89297-150.

Q: What is the difference in post-contact finish between these parts?

A: The 89297-150 uses Tin-Lead finish on the post contacts, while the 87407-150LF uses Tin finish. This change reflects lead-free manufacturing standards. The mating contact finish (Gold or Gold, GXT™) remains identical on both parts.

Q: Why is the post-contact length different (0.115" vs 0.090")?

A: The 87407-150LF has a shorter post length (0.090" vs 0.115"), which may affect board layout and PCB hole depth requirements. Verify that existing PCB designs accommodate the shorter post length of the substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 89297-150 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 87407-150LF is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 87407-150LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 89297-150 packaging is not specified in the data. The 87407-150LF is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for component handling and automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both the 89297-150 and 87407-150LF have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
