Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Legacy System Maintenance (RoHS Non-Compliant Requirements): Select 2302-6111-TP or 2302-6111TB from the 3M 2300 series. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original 68001-402, ensuring compatibility with existing legacy designs. The 2302-6111-TP features tin-lead mating contact finish, while 2302-6111TB provides gold mating contact finish for enhanced corrosion resistance. Both support the full operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C and deliver 3A current rating per contact.

For Modern Production (ROHS3 Compliant Requirements): Select from the Molex KK254 series (0050291692, 0050291883, 0423751922, 0423752486, 0423752521) or Preci-Dip 350 series (350-10-102-00-013101, 350-10-102-01-666101, 350-80-102-00-013101). All Molex KK254 variants are ROHS3 compliant and active products with high inventory availability. Preci-Dip 350 series parts are also ROHS3 compliant and support extended operating temperature to -55°C ~ 125°C, matching the original part's lower temperature limit.

Contact Finish Considerations: Tin-finished contacts (0423751922, 350-80-102-00-013101) provide cost-effective solutions for general-purpose applications. Gold-finished contacts (0050291692, 0050291883, 0423752486, 0423752521, 2302-6111TB, 350-10-102-00-013101, 350-10-102-01-666101) offer superior corrosion resistance for applications in harsh environments or extended storage periods.

Contact Shape Compatibility: Square-contact parts (Molex KK254 series, 3M 2300 series) maintain direct mechanical compatibility with the original 68001-402. Circular-contact parts (Preci-Dip 350 series) require verification of mating connector socket geometry to ensure proper engagement and retention.

Termination Method: Standard solder termination is available across all substitute options. Preci-Dip 350-10-102-01-666101 offers press-fit termination in addition to solder, providing flexibility for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a Molex KK254 series connector as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68001-402?

A: Yes. Molex KK254 series connectors (0050291692, 0050291883, 0423751922, 0423752486, 0423752521) are direct mechanical and electrical substitutes. All share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (2), row configuration (1), mounting type (through-hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Verify contact finish requirements for your application: gold-finished variants provide enhanced corrosion resistance, while tin-finished variants offer cost optimization.

Q: What is the difference between the Preci-Dip 350-10-102-00-013101 and 350-10-102-01-666101?

A: Both are 2-position, 2.54mm pitch headers from the Preci-Dip 350 series. The primary difference is termination method: 350-10-102-00-013101 uses solder termination only, while 350-10-102-01-666101 supports both press-fit and solder termination. Contact geometry is also slightly different (mating contact length 0.134" vs. 0.141", post contact length 0.121" vs. 0.110"). Select based on your PCB assembly process requirements.

Q: Are Preci-Dip 350 series connectors with circular contacts compatible with my existing mating connectors designed for square contacts?

A: Circular-contact connectors may not mate properly with sockets designed for square contacts. Verify the mating connector socket geometry before substitution. If your design uses square-contact sockets, select square-contact substitutes from the Molex KK254 or 3M 2300 series.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a lower operating temperature range than the original 68001-402?

A: The original 68001-402 operates from -65°C ~ 125°C. The 3M 2300 series (2302-6111-TP, 2302-6111TB) operates from -55°C ~ 105°C, which does not cover the full original range. Use these parts only if your application does not require operation below -55°C or above 105°C. For full temperature range coverage, select Preci-Dip 350 series parts, which support -55°C ~ 125°C.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS non-compliant and ROHS3 compliant parts?

A: RoHS non-compliant parts (68001-402, 2302-6111-TP, 2302-6111TB) may contain restricted substances such as lead and are suitable for legacy systems or applications exempt from RoHS regulations. ROHS3 compliant parts (Molex KK254 series, Preci-Dip 350 series) are manufactured without restricted substances and are required for new designs subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: Molex KK254 series parts show the highest inventory levels: 0050291692 (1135 pcs), 0050291883 (997 pcs), 0423751922 (888 pcs), 0423752486 (974 pcs), and 0423752521 (813 pcs). These active products are widely stocked and suitable for immediate procurement.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet your electrical and mechanical requirements. However, standardizing on a single substitute part number simplifies procurement, inventory management, and design documentation. If mixing is necessary, ensure all parts share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and fastening mechanism to maintain compatibility with mating connectors.
