Amphenol ICC 89883-408 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89883-408 is a 16-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 classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 89883-408LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Identical connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), and style (board to board)
Matching position count (16 positions) and pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
Identical mounting configuration (through hole, right angle) and termination method (solder)
Matching contact geometry (square phosphor bronze contacts) and insulation material (thermoplastic, glass filled)
Equivalent fastening mechanism (push-pull)
Same flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The primary difference between the main part and substitute lies in contact finish specifications and product status, detailed in the parameter comparison table below.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 89883-408LF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 89883-408. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

Use 89883-408 only when legacy system compatibility or existing inventory constraints require the original tin-lead contact finish specification.

Use 89883-408LF for new designs, system upgrades, and applications requiring RoHS compliance. The substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics while offering active product status and improved regulatory alignment. The reduced contact finish thickness (78.7µin versus 196.9µin) remains within functional parameters for this connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 89883-408 and 89883-408LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting dimensions, pitch specifications, and board-to-board interface geometry. Direct substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes in this application?

A: The 89883-408 uses tin-lead plating at 196.9µin thickness, while the 89883-408LF uses tin plating at 78.7µin thickness. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for this connector type. The tin-only finish in the 89883-408LF eliminates lead content, supporting RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 89883-408 classified as obsolete?

A: The original part has been superseded by the 89883-408LF, which offers improved regulatory compliance and active manufacturing support. Amphenol ICC continues to produce the substitute variant.

Q: Can I use the 89883-408LF in applications originally designed for the 89883-408?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Compatibility is confirmed across all standard applications including automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications use cases.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 89883-408LF is supplied in tube packaging. The original 89883-408 packaging specification was not provided in the technical documentation.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental performance differences between these parts?

A: No environmental or thermal performance differences exist. Both connectors share identical insulation materials, flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).
