Amphenol ICC 95679-102 Modular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95679-102 is an 8p8c (RJ45) modular jack connector with 90° right-angle orientation, designed for Ethernet and Cat5 applications. This unshielded through-hole connector features solder termination and board lock functionality. The part is currently active in production with 1001 pieces available in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination style, and shielding specification. Alternative sources may be necessary due to inventory availability, lead time requirements, or supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 95679-102 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Jack connector with 8p8c (RJ45) contact arrangement
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation and downward tab direction
• Electrical Performance: Cat5 unshielded rating with solder termination
• Physical Housing: Thermoplastic or compatible polymer material
• Contact System: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6368120-1 maintains equivalence across all critical parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness (15.0µin vs. 50.0µin), housing polymer type (thermoplastic vs. polyamide), and compliance certifications do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 95679-102 and TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6368120-1 are active production parts suitable for Cat5 Ethernet applications requiring 8p8c modular jack connectors with right-angle through-hole mounting.

The 95679-102 carries RoHS non-compliant status and is REACH Affected. The 6368120-1 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it the preferred selection for applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulatory requirements.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical interfaces, and contact configurations. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements, inventory availability, and packaging format (tube vs. tray).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6368120-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 95679-102 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical contact configuration (8p8c), mounting type (through-hole), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), and electrical rating (Cat5). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference (15.0µin vs. 50.0µin)?

A: Contact finish thickness is provided as a specification parameter. Both finishes are gold on phosphor bronze and meet Cat5 electrical requirements. The thicker finish on the 6368120-1 may provide extended contact life in high-cycle applications, but both are suitable for standard Ethernet installations.

Q: Does the housing material difference (thermoplastic vs. polyamide) affect compatibility?

A: No. Both materials are thermoplastic polymers suitable for the specified electrical and mechanical environment. The polyamide housing on the 6368120-1 offers equivalent performance within the operating parameters of this connector category.

Q: Why is the 6368120-1 preferred for new designs?

A: The 6368120-1 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it suitable for applications subject to these regulatory frameworks. The 95679-102 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, which may restrict its use in regulated markets.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 95679-102 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 6368120-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and ordering quantities but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the difference between "Board Lock" and "Board Guide" features?

A: Both features are mechanical retention mechanisms for through-hole mounting. Board Lock and Board Guide are functionally equivalent for securing the connector to the PCB during assembly and operation.
