Amphenol ICC 93254-412 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 93254-412 is a rectangular connector header for through-hole mounting with 12 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, equivalent substitute parts from active product lines are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Suitable alternatives maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS-Compliant Applications: The 3M 929 series parts with "-RK" designation (929710-01-06-RK, 929710-06-06-RK, 929710-10-06-RK, 929710-11-06-RK, 929715-01-06-EU, 929715-01-06-I) are RoHS Compliant and Active in product status. These are preferred for new designs subject to RoHS regulations. The 929715 variants with gold contact finish provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-finished alternatives.

For Legacy Non-Compliant Applications: The 3M 929710-01-06 (without -RK suffix) maintains RoHS non-compliant status similar to the original 93254-412, though it is Active in product status. This option is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

For Surface Mount Requirements: The TE Connectivity 5-147711-5 is the only surface mount alternative in this substitution group. It features an AMPMODU Mod II series header with breakaway capability and is RoHS Compliant. Note that this part has a reduced insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) compared to the 0.100" (2.54mm) standard, which may affect board layout compatibility.

Contact Length Considerations:

Standard post length (0.110" / 2.79mm): 929710-01-06-RK, 929715-01-06-EU, 929715-01-06-I
Extended post length (0.410" / 10.41mm): 929715-03-06-EU
Extended post length (0.710" / 18.03mm): 929710-06-06-RK
Short post length (0.175" / 4.45mm): 929710-10-06-RK
Minimal post length (0.125" / 3.18mm): 929710-11-06-RK

Contact Finish Selection:

Tin finish (standard): 929710 series
Gold finish (enhanced reliability): 929715 series

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-147711-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 93254-412?

A: The 5-147711-5 is electrically and mechanically compatible in terms of pitch, position count, and row spacing. However, it is a surface mount component, whereas the 93254-412 is through-hole mounted. Direct board-level substitution is not possible without PCB redesign. Additionally, the insulation height is 0.090" (2.29mm) versus 0.100" (2.54mm), which may affect mating connector clearance.

Q: What is the difference between 929710-01-06-RK and 929710-01-06?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 929710-01-06-RK is RoHS Compliant, while 929710-01-06 is RoHS non-compliant. The "-RK" suffix indicates the RoHS-compliant variant. For new designs, the -RK version is recommended.

Q: Which substitute part has the closest contact length match to the original 93254-412?

A: The 93254-412 has a contact length - mating of 0.353" (8.97mm) and post length of 0.110" (2.79mm). The 3M 929710-01-06-RK, 929715-01-06-EU, and 929715-01-06-I all have identical post lengths of 0.110" (2.79mm). The mating contact length in these alternatives is 0.318" (8.08mm), which is slightly shorter but within the allowable substitution range for this connector family.

Q: Are gold-plated contacts (929715 series) necessary for my application?

A: Gold-plated contacts provide enhanced corrosion resistance and are recommended for applications with high humidity, corrosive environments, or extended shelf life requirements. For standard indoor applications with normal environmental conditions, tin-finished contacts (929710 series) are sufficient and more cost-effective.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between parts?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The 929710-01-06-RK and 929710-06-06-RK have 200.0µin (5.08µm) tin finish thickness, compared to 100.0µin (2.54µm) on the original 93254-412. Thicker finishes provide longer service life under repeated mating cycles. The 929715 series with 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold finish is thinner but offers superior corrosion protection inherent to gold plating.

Q: Can I use 929710-10-06-RK or 929710-11-06-RK if my PCB has limited clearance?

A: Yes. The 929710-10-06-RK has a post length of 0.175" (4.45mm) and the 929710-11-06-RK has 0.125" (3.18mm), both shorter than the standard 0.110" (2.79mm) reference. These are suitable for applications with space constraints, though verify that the reduced post length does not compromise solder joint quality or mechanical stability on your specific PCB thickness.

Q: Is the 929715-03-06-EU still available for new orders?

A: The 929715-03-06-EU is listed as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While inventory may be available from other distributors, it is not recommended for new designs. Use 929715-01-06-EU or 929715-01-06-I as active alternatives with the same gold contact finish.

Q: What insulation material should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: All substitute parts are rated for -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. The insulation materials used (PCT and PBT with glass fill) are suitable for this range. For applications approaching the upper temperature limit, verify that your mating connector and PCB materials also support this temperature range, as the connector system performance depends on all components.
