Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 89883-303 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector geometry: 6-position receptacle, 2-row configuration
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Contact materials and finishes: Gold-plated mating surface, tin-plated posts
• Insulation properties: Thermoplastic, glass-filled material with UL94 V-0 rating
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Termination method: Solder termination

The substitute part 89883-303LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being product status and compliance certifications.
