Amphenol ICC 65268-056 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65268-056 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 10-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch provides board-to-cable/wire connectivity with shrouded 4-wall construction and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65268-056 is determined by the following core parameters:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Position count (10 positions, 2 rows)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Termination method (Solder)
Contact finish (Gold mating surface)
Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria with documented compatibility:

TE Connectivity 2-1761603-3 qualifies as a functional equivalent with vertical mounting orientation, maintaining all core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

TE Connectivity 5-103167-2 qualifies as a direct right-angle substitute, preserving the original mounting orientation and providing enhanced current rating (3A) with active product status and RoHS compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct right-angle mounting replacement: TE Connectivity 5-103167-2 (AMPMODU Mod II series) provides the closest form-factor match with identical right-angle through-hole mounting. This part offers active product status, RoHS compliance, and enhanced current rating (3A per contact). Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and detent lock fastening provide improved mechanical retention compared to the original push-pull design.

For vertical mounting applications: TE Connectivity 2-1761603-3 (AMP-Latch series) qualifies as a functional substitute when board layout permits vertical orientation. This part delivers active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and keying slot features. Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and 1A per contact rating support standard signal and low-power applications.

Both substitutes maintain electrical compatibility through identical pitch, position count, contact material, and gold mating finish. Selection between substitutes depends on mounting orientation requirements and current load specifications for individual contact circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1761603-3 replace 65268-056 in existing PCB designs?

A: 2-1761603-3 is electrically compatible but requires PCB layout modification due to vertical mounting orientation versus the original right-angle configuration. Footprint redesign is necessary.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: 5-103167-2 maintains right-angle mounting identical to the original part. 2-1761603-3 uses vertical mounting. 5-103167-2 supports 3A per contact; 2-1761603-3 supports 1A per contact. Both offer active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are both substitutes compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch connectors?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing, ensuring compatibility with standard 2.54mm connector ecosystems.

Q: What is the impact of the original part's RoHS non-compliance status?

A: The original 65268-056 is RoHS non-compliant. Both active substitutes (5-103167-2 and 2-1761603-3) are RoHS compliant, supporting modern procurement and environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Do the substitutes support the same operating temperature range?

A: Both active substitutes support -65°C ~ 105°C operating temperature. The original part does not specify an operating temperature range.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: 5-103167-2 is supplied in Tray packaging. 2-1761603-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.
