Amphenol ICC 95157-120VLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95157-120VLF is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 20 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector is designed for board-to-board applications requiring reliable solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where form factor and performance requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 95157-120VLF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header)
• Contact type and gender (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (20 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Mating contact length (0.230" / 5.84mm)
• Current capacity (3A minimum)
• Operating temperature range (minimum -65°C to +130°C)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 5-146130-9 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Minor variations in insulation height, contact material composition, and post-side specifications do not affect functional interchangeability in applications designed for the 95157-120VLF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 95157-120VLF and TE Connectivity 5-146130-9 maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The 95157-120VLF carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status. The 5-146130-9 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, indicating updated compliance documentation.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply chain availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (Tape & Reel versus Tube)
• Inventory levels and procurement cost
• Design documentation requirements for regulatory traceability
• Existing qualification history within your manufacturing process

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance requirements, mechanical interface specifications, and environmental operating conditions for board-to-board connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146130-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 95157-120VLF?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (20 positions in 2 rows), contact type (male pin), mounting method (surface mount), and current rating (3A). The minor 0.010" (0.25mm) difference in insulation height does not affect functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between the two connector series?

A: The 95157-120VLF belongs to the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series, while the 5-146130-9 belongs to the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series. Both series are designed for 0.100" pitch header applications. The AMPMODU Mod II variant includes breakaway capability, allowing individual positions to be separated if required.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 95157-120VLF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The 5-146130-9 is supplied in Tube format. Packaging selection should align with your assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The 95157-120VLF operates from -65°C to +130°C, while the 5-146130-9 operates from -65°C to +125°C. This 5°C difference in maximum temperature does not affect performance in standard industrial and commercial applications operating within -40°C to +85°C ranges.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 95157-120VLF carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 5-146130-9 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents updated compliance documentation. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference in contact material?

A: The 95157-120VLF uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the 5-146130-9 uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability for 3A current applications. The mating contact finish (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness) is identical on both parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, provided your PCB footprint accommodates the minor 0.010" (0.25mm) insulation height variation. Standard 0.100" pitch header footprints are compatible with both connectors. Verify your design documentation for any height-critical constraints before substitution.
