Amphenol ICC 68000-101 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The Amphenol ICC 68000-101 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, single position, unshrouded design from the BERGSTIK® II series. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The 68000-101 features male pin contacts with gold or GXT™ finish, phosphor bronze material, and is rated for 3A per contact across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Substitution is required due to product discontinuation while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing board designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
All substitute parts listed maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 68000-101. The TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series (5-146278-1, 5-146282-1, 5-146285-1, 9-146281-0-01) and Samtec Flex Stack HMTSW series (HMTSW-101-07-G-S-200, HMTSW-101-07-T-S-170, HMTSW-101-23-T-S-170) are RoHS3 compliant, meeting modern regulatory requirements.
For applications requiring the original -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range, the Samtec HMTSW-101-07-G-S-200 is the primary recommendation, as it maintains the full temperature specification while providing gold contact finish and phosphor bronze material consistent with the original design.
For applications with reduced temperature requirements (-65°C to 105°C or -55°C to 105°C), the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series offers equivalent electrical performance with improved RoHS compliance and higher inventory availability.
Contact finish selection should be based on application requirements: gold-finished options (5-146285-1, 9-146281-0-01, HMTSW-101-07-G-S-200, HTS-101-G-A) provide enhanced corrosion resistance, while tin-finished options (5-146278-1, 5-146282-1, HMTSW-101-07-T-S-170, HMTSW-101-23-T-S-170) offer cost optimization for non-corrosive environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 68000-101 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?
A: Direct replacement is possible for all listed substitutes in applications where the operating temperature range does not exceed -55°C to 105°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 125°C range, only HMTSW-101-07-G-S-200 maintains this specification. Board layout compatibility should be verified, as insulation height varies between 0.090" and 0.100".
Q: What are the key differences in contact length specifications?
A: The original 68000-101 specifies 0.230" mating contact length and 0.095" post length. TE Connectivity substitutes maintain the 0.230" mating length but vary post length from 0.090" to 0.120". Samtec options range from 0.169" to 0.200" mating length. These variations affect board-to-board spacing and must be evaluated against PCB design constraints.
Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?
A: The original 68000-101 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory standards for new designs and production.
Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes?
A: Gold-finished contacts (5-146285-1, 9-146281-0-01, HMTSW-101-07-G-S-200, HTS-101-G-A) provide superior corrosion resistance and are recommended for high-reliability applications or environments with moisture exposure. Tin-finished contacts (5-146278-1, 5-146282-1, HMTSW-101-07-T-S-170, HMTSW-101-23-T-S-170) are suitable for standard applications and offer cost advantages.
Q: How do insulation material differences affect substitution?
A: The original 68000-101 does not specify insulation material. TE Connectivity substitutes use Thermoplastic or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while Samtec options use LCP. All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. LCP provides superior dimensional stability and is preferred for precision applications.
Q: What inventory considerations should be evaluated?
A: All substitute parts maintain active inventory status. TE Connectivity 5-146278-1 offers the highest inventory level (40,294 pcs), providing supply chain security for high-volume applications. Samtec options maintain 900-1,100 pcs inventory, suitable for moderate-volume requirements.
