Amphenol ICC 95609-012 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95609-012 is a Minitek® series rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 12 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and is terminated via solder with push-pull fastening. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 95609-012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (12) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder) and fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specification (Gold, GXT™)
• Electrical ratings (2A at 200V AC/DC)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The 95609-012LF meets all these criteria as a direct functional equivalent within the Minitek® series, with the primary distinction being active product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95609-012LF is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 95609-012. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Minitek® series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The substitute part maintains all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, electrical ratings, and material certifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 95609-012LF is actively manufactured and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 95609-012 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the 95609-012LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring the original non-compliant variant, the 95609-012 remains available in existing inventory (917 pcs), while the substitute is available in higher quantity (1007 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 95609-012 and 95609-012LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and contact geometry. They are pin-for-pin compatible and require no design modifications for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 95609-012LF is RoHS compliant, while the 95609-012 is not. Both parts are functionally and mechanically equivalent. The "LF" designation in the 95609-012LF typically indicates lead-free or RoHS-compliant variants in Amphenol ICC nomenclature.

Q: Can I use the 95609-012LF in applications originally designed for the 95609-012?

A: Yes. The 95609-012LF meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part. It is suitable for direct substitution in all applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 95609-012 packaging is listed as unspecified in available data. The 95609-012LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for substitution?

A: If your application or regulatory environment requires RoHS compliance, the 95609-012LF is the appropriate choice. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and identical electrical ratings (2A at 200V AC/DC).

Q: What is the current availability status?

A: The 95609-012 (obsolete) has 917 pcs in stock. The 95609-012LF (active) has 1007 pcs in stock. For new procurement, the active part number is recommended.
