Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Amphenol ICC 89801-016LF

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89801-016LF is a 16-position ribbon cable DIP header connector designed for IDC termination with 26-28 AWG wire. This connector features a through-hole, press-fit mounting configuration with a 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch across 2 rows. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 89801-016LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a 16-position ribbon cable DIP header
• Pitch Configuration: Cable pitch of 0.050" (1.27mm) and board-side pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm) are mandatory
• Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, press-fit mounting with IDC cable termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Wire gauge range must accommodate 26-28 AWG or overlap with this specification
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating ensures compatibility in standard operating environments

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-111382-6 meets all these critical parameters, establishing it as a valid substitute despite differences in contact finish and color.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-111382-6 is the primary substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 89801-016LF. Selection is justified by:

• Active Product Status: The TE Connectivity part is actively manufactured and supported, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, maintaining export and tariff compliance
• Functional Equivalence: All critical mechanical and electrical parameters align, including pitch configuration, row spacing, mounting type, and IDC termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The TE Connectivity part accommodates 26-30 AWG solid wire, which encompasses the original 26-28 AWG specification
• Environmental Rating: Both parts carry MSL 1 classification, confirming suitability for standard operating environments without moisture sensitivity constraints

Contact finish differences (tin versus gold) and color variations do not affect functional substitution for standard applications. Gold plating on the TE Connectivity part provides enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-111382-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 89801-016LF?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch configurations (0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch), row spacing, position count, mounting type, and IDC termination method. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, series designation, product status, contact finish material, and connector color. The Amphenol part features tin-plated contacts and blue housing, while the TE Connectivity part features gold-plated contacts and black housing. The TE Connectivity part is actively produced; the Amphenol part is obsolete.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part supports 26-30 AWG solid wire, which fully encompasses the original 26-28 AWG specification. Both stranded (28 AWG) and solid (26-30 AWG) wire options are supported.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect performance?

A: Contact finish does not affect functional compatibility. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to tin plating, particularly in high-humidity or corrosive environments. For standard applications, both finishes are suitable.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-111382-6 is supplied in tube packaging and is actively stocked. The Amphenol part is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. For new designs and ongoing production, the TE Connectivity part is the recommended choice.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.
