Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Select from the Preci-Dip 350 series (350-10-136-00-006101, 350-10-136-00-013101, 350-10-136-01-666101, 350-80-136-00-006101, 350-80-136-00-013101, 350-80-136-01-666101, or 350-V3-136-00-006101) or TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 or Sullins PGC36SAAN. All are active products with current compliance certifications.

For Gold-Plated Mating Contacts: Use 350-10-136-00-006101, 350-10-136-00-013101, 350-V3-136-00-006101, or PGC36SAAN. These maintain the gold contact finish of the original 68002-136.

For Tin-Plated Contacts: Select 350-80-136-00-006101, 350-80-136-00-013101, 350-80-136-01-666101, or TE Connectivity 8-146274-6.

For Extended Temperature Range (-65°C to 130°C): The original 68002-136 specification cannot be fully matched. Preci-Dip 350 series parts operate to -55°C to 125°C, and TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 operates to -65°C to 105°C. Evaluate application requirements against these ranges.

For Maximum Availability: TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 offers the highest inventory (3080 pcs) with active product status and RoHS compliance.

For Press-Fit Termination Option: Select 350-10-136-01-666101, 350-80-136-01-666101, or 350-V3-136-00-006101 (press-fit and solder capable).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68002-136 be directly replaced with any Preci-Dip 350 series part?

A: Yes, all Preci-Dip 350 series substitutes (350-10-136-00-006101, 350-10-136-00-013101, 350-10-136-01-666101, 350-80-136-00-006101, 350-80-136-00-013101, 350-80-136-01-666101, and 350-V3-136-00-006101) maintain the 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and 3A current rating. Differences exist in contact finish (gold vs. tin), contact material (brass vs. phosphor bronze), and contact geometry (circular vs. square). These variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between gold-plated and tin-plated contact finishes?

A: Gold plating (350-10-136-00-006101, 350-10-136-00-013101, 350-V3-136-00-006101, PGC36SAAN) provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, suitable for high-reliability applications. Tin plating (350-80-136-00-006101, 350-80-136-00-013101, 350-80-136-01-666101, 8-146274-6) is cost-effective and adequate for standard industrial applications. Both meet the 3A current specification.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations with substitute parts?

A: The original 68002-136 operates from -65°C to 130°C. Preci-Dip 350 series parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, and TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 operates from -65°C to 105°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 130°C range, the original part or custom alternatives must be evaluated.

Q: What is the difference between circular and square contact shapes?

A: The 68002-136 features square contacts, as do TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 and Sullins PGC36SAAN. Preci-Dip 350 series parts use circular contacts. Both geometries are compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles and do not affect electrical performance in typical applications.

Q: Can I use the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 as a direct substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 is functionally compatible with the 68002-136 for the 36-position, 2.54mm pitch requirement and 3A current rating. It features square contacts and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, it operates to -65°C to 105°C (not 130°C) and uses tin plating instead of gold. It is an active product with RoHS compliance and high availability (3080 pcs).

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2011/65/EU, which restricts the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, and mercury. All Preci-Dip 350 series parts and Sullins PGC36SAAN are ROHS3 compliant. The original 68002-136 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are press-fit termination options available?

A: Yes. Parts 350-10-136-01-666101, 350-80-136-01-666101, and 350-V3-136-00-006101 support both press-fit and solder termination, providing flexibility for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between the 350-10 and 350-80 base part numbers?

A: The 350-10 series uses gold-plated contacts, while the 350-80 series uses tin-plated contacts. Both maintain identical electrical specifications (3A, 150VDC voltage rating) and mechanical compatibility. Selection depends on application requirements for contact finish and cost considerations.
