Amphenol ICC 91596-310 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 91596-310 is a 10-position receptacle connector with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, designed for surface mount applications in the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This connector features bottom entry configuration, gold-plated mating contacts, and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. Active alternatives from both Amphenol ICC and Samtec Inc. provide functional equivalence with improved compliance status and availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle, bottom entry), number of positions (10), mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows with 0.079" spacing), mounting type (surface mount), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), contact finish (gold), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Amphenol ICC 91596-310LF qualifies as a direct manufacturer substitute, maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Samtec Inc. CLT series receptacles (CLT-105-02-F-D and variants) provide functional equivalence across all critical parameters, with variations in packaging format (tube or tape & reel), contact material composition (phosphor bronze vs. beryllium copper), and compliance certifications. All listed substitutes maintain the 10-position, 2.00mm pitch, surface mount, push-pull configuration required for direct replacement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete 91596-310, the Amphenol ICC 91596-310LF provides identical form factor and electrical performance with active product status and RoHS compliance. This option maintains the original Minitek® 2.00mm series platform and beryllium copper contact material.

Samtec Inc. CLT-105 series receptacles offer functional equivalence with enhanced current rating (4.1A per contact vs. 1A) and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among CLT variants depends on application requirements:

CLT-105-02-F-D and CLT-105-02-F-D-BE provide base configurations without board guide features, suitable for standard board-to-board applications.

CLT-105-02-F-D-A and CLT-105-02-F-D-BE-A include board guide features for improved alignment and mechanical stability.

CLT-105-02-F-D-A-P and CLT-105-02-F-D-BE-A-K add pick-and-place features for automated assembly processes.

Tape & Reel packaging (TR suffix) is available for high-volume production environments requiring automated component handling.

Bottom entry variants (CLT-105-02-F-D-BE series) match the original 91596-310 connector entry orientation, while standard CLT-105-02-F-D variants provide top entry configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLT-105 series connectors directly replace the 91596-310 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All CLT-105-02-F-D variants maintain the critical mechanical and electrical parameters: 10-position, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, surface mount termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. The higher current rating (4.1A per contact) provides additional design margin. Bottom entry variants (CLT-105-02-F-D-BE series) match the original connector orientation.

Q: What is the difference between tube and tape & reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume production. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume manufacturing. Both packaging formats contain identical connector components.

Q: Why do CLT-105 connectors have higher current ratings than the original 91596-310?

A: The CLT-105 series uses phosphor bronze contact material with optimized contact geometry, resulting in lower contact resistance and higher current-carrying capacity (4.1A per contact vs. 1A). This provides improved performance margin for power distribution applications.

Q: What is the significance of the board guide feature (A suffix)?

A: The board guide feature (present in CLT-105-02-F-D-A and CLT-105-02-F-D-BE-A variants) provides mechanical alignment assistance during mating, improving connector reliability and reducing assembly errors in high-volume production environments.

Q: Are all listed substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The original 91596-310 is RoHS non-compliant. The 91596-310LF is RoHS compliant. All Samtec CLT-105 variants are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new product designs.

Q: What is the difference between CLT-105-02-F-D-A-P and CLT-105-02-F-D-BE-A-K?

A: CLT-105-02-F-D-A-P includes pick-and-place features with standard entry orientation. CLT-105-02-F-D-BE-A-K includes both pick-and-place features and bottom entry orientation matching the original 91596-310 connector configuration.
