Amphenol ICC 89885-304L Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 89885-304L is a 4-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications in automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and general purpose environments. This through-hole connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts for reliable solder termination. The part is currently active in production with 684 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging preferences, compliance requirements, and inventory availability while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 89885-304L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle, bottom or top entry), number of positions (4), mating pitch (0.100"), contact type (female socket), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post), insulation material (thermoplastic, glass filled), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The identified substitutes—89885-304LF and 89885-304LLF—maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number. Differences are limited to packaging format (bulk versus tube) and regulatory compliance status (RoHS and REACH). These variations do not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or board-level integration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers are active products from Amphenol ICC and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for board-to-board applications. Selection between them should be based on regulatory compliance and packaging requirements.

The 89885-304L is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. The 89885-304LF and 89885-304LLF are both RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, making them appropriate for regulated markets and applications requiring environmental compliance documentation.

Packaging format differs between substitutes: 89885-304L and 89885-304LF are supplied in bulk packaging, while 89885-304LLF is supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging is typically preferred for automated assembly processes and component handling in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 89885-304L, 89885-304LF, and 89885-304LLF fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three part numbers share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact materials, finishes, and termination method. They differ only in packaging format and regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tube packaging?

A: Bulk packaging (89885-304L and 89885-304LF) is typically used for manual assembly and general inventory storage. Tube packaging (89885-304LLF) is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment and provides better component protection during handling and storage.

Q: Why should I choose an RoHS Compliant substitute?

A: RoHS Compliance (89885-304LF and 89885-304LLF) is required for products sold in the European Union and many other regulated markets. If your application or end-market requires RoHS certification, select 89885-304LF or 89885-304LLF. The 89885-304L is suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

Q: Does REACH Affected status impact part selection?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to European chemical regulations. If your supply chain or end-market requires REACH compliance documentation, select 89885-304LF or 89885-304LLF. This status does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can I use these connectors in automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three part numbers are rated for automotive applications, along with industrial, telecommunications, and general purpose use.

Q: What is the mating pitch, and why does it matter?

A: The mating pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm), which defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. This specification must match the corresponding plug connector to ensure proper mating. All three part numbers share this identical pitch.
