Amphenol ICC 68002-124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68002-124 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 24-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-board connections with a 3A current rating. 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 of the Amphenol ICC 68002-124 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 24 positions, single row
Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
Electrical Performance: 3A current rating
Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 9-146280-0-24 satisfies these core substitution criteria. Both connectors maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and current rating. The substitute part is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 9-146280-0-24 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68002-124. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, current rating, and flammability certification, establishing functional equivalence for board-to-board through-hole applications.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

Active Product Status: TE Connectivity 9-146280-0-24 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.
RoHS Compliance: The substitute part is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part is RoHS non-compliant.
Expanded Application Range: The substitute supports both board-to-board and cable connection styles, providing design flexibility beyond the original part's board-to-board limitation.

Design considerations for substitution:

Operating Temperature: The substitute part operates to 105°C maximum, compared to the original part's 130°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require alternative solutions.
Contact Post Length: The substitute part features a 0.120" (3.05mm) post length versus the original 0.150" (3.81mm). PCB design must accommodate this dimensional difference.
Insulation Height: The substitute part has a 0.090" (2.29mm) insulation height versus the original 0.100" (2.54mm). Board layout spacing must be verified for compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 9-146280-0-24 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68002-124 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating within the substitute part's temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and PCB layout constraints. The mating pitch, position count, current rating, and contact configuration are identical. However, the reduced contact post length (0.120" versus 0.150") and insulation height (0.090" versus 0.100") require PCB design verification to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus compliant), maximum operating temperature (130°C versus 105°C), contact post length (0.150" versus 0.120"), and insulation height (0.100" versus 0.090"). The mating interface, pitch, position count, and current rating remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory considerations for substitution?

A: The substitute part is RoHS compliant, while the original part is RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, the TE Connectivity 9-146280-0-24 meets this requirement. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Does the substitute part support the same connection styles as the original?

A: The substitute part supports both board-to-board and cable connection styles, whereas the original part is limited to board-to-board connections. This expanded capability provides additional design flexibility.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity 9-146280-0-24 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1160 pieces available in new original stock.
