Amphenol ICC 98424-G52-14 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 98424-G52-14 is a surface mount rectangular connector header from the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This 14-position, 2-row shrouded header connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The substitute part 98424-G52-14LF provides functional equivalence with active product status and improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 98424-G52-14LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 98424-G52-14 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type, contact type, and position count remain unchanged (Header, Male Pin, 14 positions)
• Pitch and row spacing specifications are identical (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type and shrouding configuration match (Surface Mount, Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Electrical ratings are equivalent (2A current, 200V voltage)
• Material flammability classification is maintained (UL94 V-0)
• Contact finish specifications and materials are identical (Gold GXT™ mating surface, Tin post finish, Copper Alloy material)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 98424-G52-14 while offering active product status and improved supply chain availability. The 98424-G52-14LF carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. Both parts share equivalent UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and identical contact finish specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 98424-G52-14 and 98424-G52-14LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical electrical ratings (2A current, 200V voltage), contact materials (Copper Alloy with Gold GXT™ mating finish), and flammability classifications (UL94 V-0). They are electrically equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 98424-G52-14 is obsolete, while the 98424-G52-14LF is active. The 98424-G52-14LF includes RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. Packaging differs (Bulk for the LF variant). All mechanical and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 98424-G52-14LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 98424-G52-14LF maintains identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row spacing, mounting type (Surface Mount), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and contact specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix typically indicates Lead-Free compliance in Amphenol ICC part numbering conventions, corresponding to the RoHS Compliant status of the 98424-G52-14LF.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layouts designed for the 98424-G52-14?

A: No. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, including insulation height (0.244" / 6.20mm), contact length (0.157" / 4.00mm), and shrouding configuration. PCB footprints and layouts are directly compatible.
