Amphenol ICC 68002-201 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68002-201 is a rectangular connector header for through-hole mounting, featuring a single vertical position with male pin contact configuration. This component is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain functional compatibility through matching electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved availability and compliance status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped based on strict compatibility with the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (1), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), contact length for mating (0.230" / 5.84mm), contact shape (square), insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm), current rating (3A), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and insulation color (black).

Substitutes differ in contact post length, overall contact length, contact material composition, insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. These variations do not affect mating compatibility but influence board-level integration depth and regulatory compliance. The primary distinction among substitutes is the contact post length, which determines the overall connector height and solder joint depth on the PCB.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete 68002-201, the TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 provides the closest electrical and mechanical compatibility with active product status and RoHS compliance. This part maintains the critical mating contact length of 0.230" (5.84mm) and 3A current rating while offering improved availability.

The Sullins PBC01 series (PBC01SABN through PBC01SAHN) offers multiple post length options for applications requiring extended board penetration depth. All Sullins variants feature ROHS3 compliance, active product status, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Selection within this series depends on required solder joint depth and PCB stack-up requirements.

The Sullins PEC01SAAN provides an alternative with tin mating contact finish and the shortest post length (0.120" / 3.05mm), suitable for applications with minimal board depth requirements and active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Applications operating above 125°C should note that the original 68002-201 specification of -65°C to 130°C is not matched by any active substitute. The TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 and all Sullins variants are rated to -65°C to 125°C maximum.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Sullins PBC01 series parts be used interchangeably with the Amphenol ICC 68002-201?

A: The PBC01 series maintains compatibility for mating contact geometry and electrical performance. Differences in post length result in varying overall connector heights. Selection should be based on specific PCB integration requirements. All PBC01 variants share identical mating contact specifications (0.230" length, square shape, gold finish) and current rating (3A).

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 and the Sullins PBC01SABN?

A: The 5-146280-1 features a shorter post length (0.120" vs. 0.230") and uses Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material. The PBC01SABN uses Polybutylene Terephthalate insulation and provides greater board penetration depth. Both maintain identical mating contact specifications and 3A current rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 is RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 4-103185-0-01 is non-compliant. All Sullins parts (PBC01 and PEC01 series) are ROHS3 compliant. The original 68002-201 is non-compliant.

Q: How do contact post length variations affect PCB design?

A: Contact post length determines solder joint depth on the PCB. Shorter posts (0.120") require less board penetration, while longer posts (up to 0.820") provide extended engagement for applications with thicker PCB stacks or requiring mechanical support. Mating contact length remains constant at 0.230" across all parts, ensuring consistent connector interface depth.

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

A: The original 68002-201 and most substitutes feature gold mating contact finish (10.0µin to 15.0µin thickness). The Sullins PEC01SAAN uses tin mating contact finish (100.0µin thickness). Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for 3A applications. Selection depends on application-specific requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Can the 68002-201 be used in new designs, or must a substitute be selected?

A: The 68002-201 is classified as obsolete. New designs should specify an active substitute part. Active alternatives include the TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 or any Sullins PBC01/PEC01 series variant, all of which offer improved availability and compliance certifications.

Q: What operating temperature range should be considered for substitute selection?

A: The original 68002-201 operates from -65°C to 130°C. Active substitutes operate from -65°C to 105°C (TE Connectivity 5-146280-1 and 4-103185-0-01) or -65°C to 125°C (Sullins series). Applications requiring operation above 125°C cannot be directly substituted with active parts.
