Amphenol ICC 95609-108 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95609-108 is a Minitek® series rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 8-position, 2-row connector operates at 2A (AC/DC) and 200V (AC/DC) with gold-plated mating contacts and push-pull fastening. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 95609-108 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (8 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Electrical ratings (2A at 200V AC/DC)
• Contact finish specification (Gold, GXT™)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The 95609-108LF meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance, not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 95609-108LF is the direct functional equivalent of the 95609-108 across all electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

95609-108LF is the preferred choice when:

• New designs or redesigns are being implemented
• RoHS compliance is required by specification or regulation
• Long-term component availability is a procurement priority
• The design is not constrained to legacy, non-compliant components

95609-108 may be retained only when:

• Existing inventory must be consumed in legacy production runs
• Design constraints explicitly prohibit RoHS-compliant alternatives
• The application is not subject to RoHS or equivalent environmental regulations

Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and contact specifications. The transition from 95609-108 to 95609-108LF introduces no functional risk or redesign burden.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 95609-108 and 95609-108LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), shrouding configuration (4-wall), pitch (2.00mm), row spacing (2.00mm), and all contact dimensions. No PCB layout or mating connector modifications are required.

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

A: The 95609-108LF is the RoHS-compliant successor to the 95609-108. The "LF" designation indicates lead-free manufacturing. All functional and mechanical parameters remain unchanged. The 95609-108 is obsolete; the 95609-108LF is active production.

Q: Can I use 95609-108LF in place of 95609-108 in existing designs?

A: Yes, without modification. The parts are functionally and mechanically equivalent. The 95609-108LF is recommended for all new procurement and design work.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts operate at 2A (AC/DC) and 200V (AC/DC) with identical contact finish (Gold, GXT™) and material specifications.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix mean?

A: "LF" denotes lead-free construction, indicating compliance with RoHS directives. This is a manufacturing process change, not a functional modification.

Q: Is the 95609-108LF available in the same packaging as the 95609-108?

A: The 95609-108LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on procurement volume requirements.

Q: Are both parts UL94 V-0 rated?

A: Yes. Both the 95609-108 and 95609-108LF meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.
