Amphenol ICC 93690-103-32LF Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 93690-103-32LF is an active, through-hole rectangular connector header with 32 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® series connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with press-fit and solder termination options. The part is RoHS compliant and currently in stock with 713 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 93690-103-32LF is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Position Count & Row Configuration: 32 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Connector Classification: Header type with male pin contacts
• Mounting Method: Through-hole termination with press-fit and solder capability
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper alloy with gold mating surface and tin post finish
• Insulation Properties: Thermoplastic material, UL94 V-0 rated, black color
• Environmental Compliance: MSL 1 rating and ECCN EAR99 classification

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-103542-5 meets these core substitution criteria while operating within the allowed parameter tolerances for this connector category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 93690-103-32LF

• RoHS compliant status supports regulatory requirements for restricted substance control
• Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support and availability
• Current inventory of 713 units provides immediate procurement capability
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating meets safety standards for general industrial applications

Substitute Part: 1-103542-5

• Meets all core electrical and mechanical substitution parameters
• Active product status maintains long-term supply chain viability
• RoHS non-compliant status requires evaluation against specific application regulatory requirements
• Higher contact finish thickness on post (100.0µin vs. 39.4µin) provides enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications
• Longer overall contact length (0.660" vs. 0.505") accommodates thicker PCB assemblies
• Operating temperature range specified (-55°C ~ 125°C) supports extended environmental applications
• Lower current rating (3A vs. 5A) requires verification against circuit power requirements

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance mandates, thermal operating conditions, and current load specifications of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-103542-5 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 93690-103-32LF in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported based on identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, and termination method. However, the RoHS non-compliant status of the TE part requires regulatory assessment. Additionally, the lower current rating (3A vs. 5A) must be verified against circuit requirements, and the longer contact length may affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: Primary differences include RoHS compliance status, current rating (5A vs. 3A), overall contact length (0.505" vs. 0.660"), insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.090"), contact finish thickness on posts (39.4µin vs. 100.0µin), and operating temperature specification. The TE part includes a defined operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C) while the Amphenol part does not specify this parameter.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 93690-103-32LF is supplied in bag packaging, while the TE Connectivity 1-103542-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and inventory management procedures.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-reliability applications?

A: Selection depends on specific application requirements. The Amphenol ICC part offers RoHS compliance and higher current rating (5A). The TE Connectivity part provides a defined operating temperature range and thicker contact finish on posts, which may enhance reliability in high-cycle mating environments. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Is the contact finish difference significant for signal integrity?

A: Both parts use gold mating surface finish (30.0µin thickness) and copper alloy contact material, ensuring equivalent signal integrity performance. The post finish difference (tin vs. tin-lead) and post finish thickness variation affect solder joint reliability and mechanical durability rather than signal characteristics.
