Amphenol ICC 89883-406 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89883-406 is a 12-position receptacle connector in the Dubox™ series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole, right-angle mounting with tin-lead contact finish and push-pull fastening. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89883-406LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Connector type, contact type, and style remain identical (receptacle, female socket, board-to-board)
Number of positions and pitch spacing are unchanged (12 positions, 0.100" mating pitch, 2 rows with 0.100" row spacing)
Mounting configuration is preserved (through hole, right angle, solder termination, push-pull fastening)
Physical dimensions match (insulation height 0.230", contact length 0.114")
Insulation material and contact material specifications are identical (thermoplastic glass-filled, phosphor bronze)
Contact shape and insulation color are unchanged (square contacts, blue insulation)
Flammability rating remains UL94 V-0

The primary difference is the contact finish specification: the 89883-406 uses tin-lead finish (196.9µin/5.00µm thickness), while the 89883-406LF uses tin finish (78.7µin/2.00µm thickness). Both finishes are applied to mating and post surfaces.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89883-406LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 89883-406. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in board-to-board applications.

The 89883-406LF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Additionally, the 89883-406LF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original 89883-406 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance status is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

The contact finish difference (tin-lead versus tin) reflects the RoHS transition. The tin finish on the 89883-406LF meets RoHS requirements while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified connector class and application categories (automotive, general purpose, industrial, telecommunications).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89883-406LF directly replace the 89883-406 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 89883-406LF maintains identical connector geometry, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and contact material. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 89883-406 uses tin-lead finish (5.00µm thickness), while the 89883-406LF uses tin finish (2.00µm thickness). Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for this connector class. The tin finish on the 89883-406LF reflects RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 89883-406 listed as obsolete?

A: The 89883-406 is obsolete due to RoHS regulatory transitions. The 89883-406LF represents the active, RoHS-compliant equivalent in the Dubox™ series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 89883-406 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 89883-406LF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both connectors are specified for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations relevant for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
