Amphenol ICC 90512-005 Modular Connector – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 90512-005 is a jack modular connector with 6 positions and 2 contacts (RJ11) configuration, designed for vertical through-hole mounting in unshielded Cat3 applications. This connector features board lock and panel stop mechanisms with gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 90512-005 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6p2c RJ11)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Orientation (Vertical)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shielding classification (Unshielded)
• Category rating (Cat3)
• Mechanical features (Board Lock, Panel Stops)

The Molex 0424106456 meets all these criteria and is classified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both connectors maintain identical functional and mechanical interfaces, ensuring direct replacement capability in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0424106456 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 90512-005. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• The Molex part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability
• Both parts comply with RoHS regulations (Amphenol ICC: RoHS Compliant; Molex: ROHS3 Compliant)
• Operating temperature range of the Molex substitute (-40°C ~ 85°C) exceeds the original part (-40°C ~ 70°C), providing extended thermal margin
• Moisture sensitivity level remains unchanged at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Both parts share identical export classification (ECCN: EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS: 8536.69.4040)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0424106456 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 90512-005 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 6p2c RJ11 configuration, vertical through-hole mounting, solder termination, unshielded Cat3 rating, and identical mechanical features (board lock, panel stops).

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), housing material (Polyamide/Nylon vs. Polyester), and operating temperature range (70°C vs. 85°C maximum). These differences do not affect functional compatibility in Cat3 applications.

Q: Why is the Amphenol ICC 90512-005 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Amphenol ICC. The Molex 0424106456 is the manufacturer-recommended active alternative.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 90512-005 packaging is not specified in available data. The Molex 0424106456 is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Do both connectors meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 90512-005 is RoHS Compliant. The Molex 0424106456 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more current regulatory standard. Both parts are classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
