Amphenol ICC 95242-403 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95242-403 is a 6-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications in surface mount configurations. This connector features tin-lead contact finish and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and RoHS non-compliance, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 95242-403 is based on maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical core parameters: connector type (receptacle, bottom or top entry), position count (6), mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), mounting method (surface mount), contact type (female socket), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and insulation material (thermoplastic, glass filled).

The primary substitute, 95242-403LF, maintains all these critical parameters while introducing two key differences: RoHS compliance status and contact finish specification. The 95242-403LF uses tin contact finish with reduced thickness (78.7µin / 2.00µm) compared to the tin-lead finish with greater thickness (196.9µin / 5.00µm) of the original part. Additionally, the 95242-403LF carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95242-403LF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 95242-403. Selection of the 95242-403LF is supported by three primary factors:

Product Status: The 95242-403LF maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 95242-403 is classified as obsolete.
Regulatory Compliance: The 95242-403LF is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original 95242-403 is RoHS non-compliant.
Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share identical core specifications across connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact type, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and flammability rating.

The contact finish difference (tin-lead versus tin) and finish thickness reduction (196.9µin to 78.7µin) reflect industry-standard transitions toward lead-free manufacturing. Both finishes are applied to phosphor bronze contacts and maintain equivalent functional performance within the specified applications: automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 95242-403 and 95242-403LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), insulation height (0.275"), and mounting type (surface mount). They are designed for the same board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes?

A: The 95242-403 uses tin-lead finish at 196.9µin (5.00µm) thickness, while the 95242-403LF uses tin finish at 78.7µin (2.00µm) thickness. Both finishes are applied to phosphor bronze contacts. The tin finish in the 95242-403LF reflects lead-free manufacturing standards and RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 95242-403 classified as obsolete?

A: The 95242-403 is obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status and the industry-wide transition to lead-free components. The 95242-403LF represents the current active equivalent.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 95242-403 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 95242-403LF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the 95242-403 and 95242-403LF are listed for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
