Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68000-405 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins for board-to-board connectivity
• Position Count & Pitch: 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3A per contact current rating
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range compatibility
• Contact Finish: Tin plating on mating surfaces

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-146282-5 meets these substitution criteria. While minor variations exist in insulation height (0.090" vs. 0.100"), overall contact length (0.410" vs. 0.425"), and post contact length (0.090" vs. 0.095"), these differences remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard board-to-board header applications. The substitute maintains equivalent electrical performance, identical pitch and position count, and compatible solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-146282-5 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68000-405. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Availability: The 5-146282-5 maintains active product status with current inventory, ensuring procurement continuity for the discontinued 68000-405.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet.
• Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Identical pitch, position count, current rating, and contact finish specifications ensure drop-in compatibility in standard board-to-board header applications.
• Certification Alignment: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and equivalent moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1).

Operating Temperature Consideration: The substitute operates within -65°C ~ 105°C, compared to the original -65°C ~ 125°C range. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require design review.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146282-5 replace the Amphenol ICC 68000-405 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within -65°C ~ 105°C. The substitute maintains identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (5), contact type (male pin), current rating (3A), and solder termination. Minor dimensional variations in insulation height and contact length remain within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 68000-405?

A: The 68000-405 is classified as obsolete. The 5-146282-5 provides active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Additionally, the substitute achieves RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 68000-405 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5-146282-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for through-hole solder assembly processes.

Q: What contact material difference exists between these parts?

A: The 68000-405 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 5-146282-5 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are compatible with tin plating and deliver equivalent electrical performance at 3A per contact.

Q: Does the substitute support breakaway configurations?

A: The 5-146282-5 is specified as a Header, Breakaway type, offering additional design flexibility compared to the standard header configuration of the original part.

Q: Are both parts moisture sensitive?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no moisture sensitivity precautions are required during storage or handling.
