Amphenol ICC 68002-211HLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68002-211HLF is an 11-position vertical header connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and is rated for 3A continuous current across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C. The part maintains active product status with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when the original part experiences extended lead times, inventory constraints, or when design flexibility permits alternative contact post lengths or finish specifications while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68002-211HLF is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

11-position connector configuration
0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
0.230" (5.84mm) mating contact length
0.100" (2.54mm) insulation height
Male pin contact type
Through-hole solder termination
3A current rating
Square contact shape
Phosphor bronze contact material
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Black insulation color

Substitute parts from Sullins Connector Solutions (PBC11 and PEC11 series) maintain these core parameters. Variations permitted in substitution include contact post length, mating contact finish (gold versus tin), post contact finish, insulation material composition, and operating temperature maximum (125°C versus 130°C). These variations do not affect board-level compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. The Sullins Connector Solutions PBC11 and PEC11 series parts carry ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the original 68002-211HLF. All candidates maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Selection between substitute options depends on post length requirements for specific PCB stack-up configurations:

PBC11SAAN and PEC11SAAN provide the shortest post length (0.120" / 3.05mm), suitable for applications with minimal PCB thickness or space constraints.

PEC11SABN offers a mid-range post length (0.230" / 5.84mm), matching the mating contact length and providing balanced engagement depth.

PBC11SACN provides extended post length (0.320" / 8.13mm) for thicker PCB assemblies.

PBC11SAEN offers maximum post length (0.520" / 13.21mm) for applications requiring deep solder joint penetration or multiple PCB layers.

Contact finish selection between gold (PBC11 series) and tin (PEC11 series) depends on application requirements. Gold-plated mating contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin-plated contacts offer cost efficiency in non-corrosive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PBC11SAAN substitute for 68002-211HLF in all applications?

A: PBC11SAAN maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-board applications. The 0.120" post length differs from the original 0.150", requiring verification that PCB thickness and solder joint depth remain within acceptable limits for your specific assembly process.

Q: What is the difference between PBC11 and PEC11 series substitutes?

A: The primary difference is mating contact finish. PBC11 series features gold-plated mating contacts (10.0µin thickness), while PEC11 series features tin-plated mating contacts (100.0µin thickness). Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and current rating. Gold finish provides superior corrosion resistance; tin finish reduces material cost.

Q: Does the operating temperature difference (125°C vs. 130°C maximum) affect compatibility?

A: The 5°C difference in maximum operating temperature does not affect compatibility for applications operating within the 125°C limit. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must retain the original 68002-211HLF.

Q: How do post length variations affect PCB design?

A: Post length determines solder joint depth and engagement with PCB plated through-holes. Shorter posts (0.120") suit thin PCBs; longer posts (0.320" to 0.520") accommodate thicker assemblies or multiple PCB layers. Verify post length compatibility with your PCB thickness and solder reflow profile.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Substitute parts are available in bulk packaging, differing from the original bag packaging. Verify minimum order quantities and lead times with your supplier for production requirements.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts within a single assembly?

A: Yes, all substitute parts maintain identical mating contact length (0.230") and pitch (0.100"), permitting mixed usage within the same assembly. However, consistent post length selection across identical connector positions is recommended for manufacturing process standardization.
