Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 90516-019LF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 46 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 2A current capacity and 200V voltage rating
• Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and PCT glass-filled insulation

The Molex 0877604616 (Milli-Grid 87760 series) satisfies all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch spacing, mounting orientation, and termination method. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and utilize PCT glass-filled insulation materials. The Molex substitute maintains electrical compatibility with equivalent current and voltage handling capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0877604616 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 90516-019LF. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The Amphenol ICC part is obsolete, while the Molex substitute maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors meet or exceed the 2A current rating and 200V voltage rating requirements. Electrical performance is equivalent across both parts.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (46), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting orientation (through-hole, right-angle) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing PCB layouts.

Material & Compliance: Both parts utilize PCT glass-filled insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both carry EAR99 ECCN and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS classifications.

Regulatory Status: The Molex substitute is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and system updates.

Minor Dimensional Variations: The Molex substitute exhibits a 0.016" (0.40mm) shorter post length (2.60mm vs. 3.00mm) and 0.004" (0.10mm) greater insulation height (4.30mm vs. 4.20mm). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole solder applications and do not impact functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0877604616 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 90516-019LF?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The electrical ratings are equivalent. The minor differences in post length and insulation height do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (46), row count (2), mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), and electrical ratings (minimum 2A / 200V). All parameters must align between the original and substitute part.

Q: Why is the Amphenol ICC 90516-019LF classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by the manufacturer. The Molex 0877604616 substitute is actively produced, providing continued availability for system support and new designs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The Molex substitute additionally carries ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the significance of the post length difference?

A: The Molex substitute has a 0.016" (0.40mm) shorter post length (2.60mm vs. 3.00mm). This difference is within acceptable tolerances for through-hole solder applications and does not impact PCB assembly or electrical performance in standard configurations.

Q: Does packaging differ between the two parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC part packaging is not specified. The Molex substitute is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or assembly process specifications.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Both parts feature gold mating contact finish. The Amphenol ICC part specifies GXT™ gold with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The Molex substitute specifies standard gold with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance for standard applications.
