Amphenol ICC 61698-302 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 61698-302 is a surface mount rectangular connector header in the Minitek® series, configured for 26-position, 2-row board-to-board applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch. This connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead post finishes, rated for 2A at 200V AC/DC. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Active alternatives from both Amphenol ICC and Samtec Inc. provide functional equivalence with improved compliance status and expanded feature sets.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (header, male pin), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (26), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (surface mount), termination (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). All substitute parts maintain these baseline specifications.

Amphenol ICC 61698-302LF serves as a direct manufacturer equivalent, differing only in RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant vs. non-compliant) and post-finish material (tin vs. tin-lead). This part is active and maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Samtec Inc. alternatives (MMT and TMM series) provide functional substitution with enhanced specifications: higher current ratings (3A to 3.2A per contact), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and improved insulation materials (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. thermoplastic). These parts are all active with ROHS3 compliance. Contact length differences (0.126" vs. 0.157") and insulation height variations (0.059" to 0.079") represent design trade-offs within the 2.00mm pitch family but do not prevent mechanical or electrical substitution in standard board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For designs currently using the obsolete 61698-302, the Amphenol ICC 61698-302LF provides the most direct replacement path. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while achieving RoHS compliance and active product status. The only material change is post-finish (tin vs. tin-lead), which does not affect functional performance in standard applications.

For new designs or applications requiring enhanced performance margins, Samtec Inc. TMM and MMT series connectors offer superior specifications: higher current capacity (3A to 3.2A per contact), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and improved insulation material (LCP vs. thermoplastic). All Samtec alternatives carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

The MMT-113 series (MMT-113-01-L-DV-A and MMT-113-01-S-DV-A) features increased insulation height (0.079" vs. 0.059"), providing additional creepage distance for high-voltage or high-reliability applications. The TMM-113 series maintains the original insulation height while offering modular packaging options (tube, tape & reel) and feature selections (board guide, pick and place).

Selection between TMM variants depends on assembly process requirements: pick-and-place capable parts (TMM-113-01-L-D-SM-P-TR, TMM-113-01-S-D-SM-001-P-TR, TMM-113-01-S-D-SM-A-P-TR) support automated manufacturing, while board-guide variants (TMM-113-01-G-D-SM-A, TMM-113-01-S-D-SM-A) provide mechanical alignment during assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 61698-302 with 61698-302LF without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. The 61698-302LF is a direct equivalent with identical pitch (0.079"), position count (26), row configuration (2), mounting type (surface mount), and contact length (0.157"). The only differences are RoHS compliance status and post-finish material (tin vs. tin-lead), neither of which affects mechanical fit or electrical performance.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and Samtec alternatives?

A: Amphenol ICC 61698-302LF maintains the original design specifications. Samtec TMM and MMT series offer enhanced current ratings (3A to 3.2A per contact vs. 2A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. unspecified), and improved insulation material (LCP vs. thermoplastic). Contact length is shorter on Samtec parts (0.126" vs. 0.157"), which may require PCB footprint verification.

Q: Do Samtec parts require PCB layout changes?

A: Contact length differences (0.126" vs. 0.157") may require PCB footprint adjustment. Insulation height variations (0.059" to 0.079") do not typically affect PCB layout but should be confirmed against your specific board design. Mechanical compatibility must be verified before production transition.

Q: Which Samtec variant should I select for automated assembly?

A: Parts designated with "P" in the part number (TMM-113-01-L-D-SM-P-TR, TMM-113-01-S-D-SM-001-P-TR, TMM-113-01-S-D-SM-A-P-TR) include pick-and-place features. Parts with "M" designation (TMM-113-01-L-D-SM-M-TR) also support pick-and-place. Consult your assembly equipment specifications to confirm compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 61698-302 is RoHS non-compliant. The 61698-302LF is RoHS Compliant. All Samtec alternatives (TMM and MMT series) are ROHS3 Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, use 61698-302LF or any Samtec alternative.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Amphenol ICC 61698-302LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Samtec TMM and MMT series offer multiple packaging options: tube (standard), tape & reel (TR), and bulk. Select based on your procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use MMT-113 series as a drop-in replacement?

A: MMT-113 parts are functionally equivalent but feature increased insulation height (0.079" vs. 0.059") and shorter contact length (0.126" vs. 0.157"). PCB footprint verification is required. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced creepage distance or higher current capacity.
