Amphenol ICC 90309-008 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 90309-008 is a vertical board-to-board rectangular connector header from the Minitek® series, featuring 8 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch. This through-hole solder-terminated connector is designed for applications requiring shrouded male pin headers with push-pull fastening and gold-plated mating contacts. The 90309-008 is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and field replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 90309-008 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (8), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.079"/2.00mm), row spacing (0.079"/2.00mm), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), shrouding configuration (shrouded - 2 wall), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Additional qualifying parameters include current rating (2A AC/DC), voltage rating (200V AC/DC), and material flammability classification (UL94 V-0).

The 90309-008LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration, with the 90309-008LF classified as active product status and supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the obsolete 90309-008.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
