Amphenol ICC 95157-112 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95157-112 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 12 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series component features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, designed for board-to-board applications with push-pull fastening.

The 95157-112 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and access components with active manufacturing support and improved compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 95157-112 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 12
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Style: Board to board
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact finish - mating: Gold or equivalent
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze or copper alloy
• Insulation color: Black

All three substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact finish thickness, operating temperature ranges, and compliance certifications represent improvements or alternative specifications rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

95157-112LF (Amphenol ICC - Direct Manufacturer Substitute)

The 95157-112LF is the direct equivalent from the original manufacturer. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The operating temperature range extends to 130°C, and current rating is specified at 3A. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modifications.

95278-101A12LF (Amphenol ICC - Manufacturer Recommended)

The 95278-101A12LF represents the manufacturer's recommended upgrade path. It belongs to the BERGSTIK® series (versus BERGSTIK® II) and includes thermoplastic insulation material specification. The contact finish features GXT™ technology and includes pick-and-place optimization. Operating temperature is rated to 125°C. This part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

6-147292-1 (TE Connectivity - Cross-Manufacturer Substitute)

The 6-147292-1 from TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series provides a cross-manufacturer alternative. It features Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material and tin contact finish. The insulation height is 0.090" (2.29mm), which is 0.010" lower than the original specification. Operating temperature is rated to 105°C. This part includes breakaway header capability and pick-and-place features. All three substitute parts carry RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95157-112LF be used as a direct replacement for the 95157-112?

A: Yes. The 95157-112LF maintains identical pitch, position count, row spacing, contact type, and mounting configuration. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference in the 6-147292-1?

A: The 6-147292-1 has an insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) compared to 0.100" (2.54mm) in the original part. This 0.010" reduction may affect mating clearances and stacking height in applications with tight vertical constraints. Verify PCB layout compatibility before selection.

Q: Are the contact finish differences between gold and tin significant?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. The original 95157-112 and its direct substitute 95157-112LF use gold plating (30.0µin thickness). The 6-147292-1 uses tin finish (100.0µin thickness). Both finishes are suitable for standard board-to-board applications. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments; tin offers lower cost and adequate performance in controlled conditions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 95157-112LF is available in Bulk packaging. The 95278-101A12LF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The 6-147292-1 is available in Bulk packaging. Select Tape & Reel for high-volume automated production; select Bulk for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.

Q: Which substitute part offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The 95157-112LF supports -65°C to 130°C, the widest range among all options. The 95278-101A12LF supports -65°C to 125°C, and the 6-147292-1 supports -65°C to 105°C. Select based on application thermal requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 95157-112LF, 95278-101A12LF, and 6-147292-1 are all RoHS compliant. The original 95157-112 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement is a key advantage of substitution for regulated applications.
