Amphenol ICC 90520-002 Modular Connector – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 90520-002 is a jack modular connector with 6 positions and 4 contacts (6p4c), conforming to RJ11 and RJ14 standards. This vertical, unshielded connector is designed for through-hole solder termination in Cat3 applications. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 90520-002 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6p4c, RJ11/RJ14 compatible)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Physical orientation (Vertical)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Electrical shielding (Unshielded)
• Signal rating (Cat3)

The Molex 0955222647 satisfies all substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical functional specifications for these core parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications where the 90520-002 is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0955222647 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 90520-002. Selection is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 90520-002 is obsolete, while the Molex 0955222647 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance: Both connectors are RoHS compliant. The Molex part achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both are classified as EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code, confirming equivalent trade classification.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination, shielding, and Cat3 rating—are identical between the two parts.

Operating Temperature: The Molex 0955222647 supports an extended operating range (-40°C ~ 85°C) compared to the 90520-002 (-40°C ~ 70°C), providing additional thermal margin in applications requiring higher temperature tolerance.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0955222647 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 90520-002?

A: Yes. Both connectors are functionally equivalent jack modular connectors with 6p4c (RJ11/RJ14) configuration, through-hole vertical solder termination, unshielded design, and Cat3 rating. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity, product status, and operating temperature range. The Molex part is active production with an extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 70°C). Housing material differs (Molex uses LCP with glass fill versus PET/Polyester in the Amphenol part), and mechanical features vary slightly (Board Lock versus Board Guide). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both connectors are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The Molex part meets ROHS3 standards, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the Amphenol part.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. The Amphenol part specifies 5.00µin (0.127µm) gold finish thickness, while the Molex part specifies flash gold finish. Both provide adequate contact durability and electrical performance for Cat3 applications. Flash finish is a standard industry practice for modular connectors.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning they have no moisture sensitivity requirements. Standard storage and handling practices apply without special environmental controls.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 90520-002 packaging is not specified in available data. The Molex 0955222647 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or assembly process specifications.
