Amphenol ICC 68015-103 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68015-103 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 3 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole, solder-terminated component is designed for board-to-board applications with male pin contacts and unshrouded design. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68015-103 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Number of positions: 3 positions, single row
• Mounting: Through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening: Push-pull mechanism
• Contact shape: Square
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 rating
• Current capacity: 3A per contact minimum

The substitute parts identified (Molex 0022288030, Molex 0022288032, and TE Connectivity 9-103765-0) meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. However, the TE Connectivity part (9-103765-0) differs in position count (40 positions versus 3 positions) and is therefore not a direct equivalent but rather a modular alternative from the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement of the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68015-103 in active production designs, the Molex 0022288030 and Molex 0022288032 are the primary equivalents. Both maintain the critical 3-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle configuration with identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

The Molex 0022288030 features tin contact finish on mating surfaces, while the Molex 0022288032 provides gold contact finish on mating surfaces. Both Molex parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 is a modular alternative within the same connector family but with 40 positions. This part is suitable only for applications requiring higher position counts and should not be used as a direct 3-position replacement.

For legacy designs requiring RoHS non-compliant components, the Amphenol ICC 68015-103 remains the specified part. For new designs or redesigns, adoption of the RoHS3-compliant Molex alternatives is recommended to align with current regulatory requirements and ensure procurement continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022288030 and 0022288032 be used interchangeably with the Amphenol ICC 68015-103?

A: Both Molex parts are functionally equivalent to the 68015-103 in terms of pitch, position count, mounting type, and termination method. The primary difference is contact finish: 0022288030 uses tin finish, while 0022288032 uses gold finish. Selection depends on application requirements for contact durability and mating cycles.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0022288030 and 0022288032?

A: Both parts are identical except for contact finish. The 0022288030 has tin-plated mating contacts, while the 0022288032 has gold-plated mating contacts. Gold finish typically provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred for applications with extended shelf life or harsh environments.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 listed as a substitute if it has 40 positions?

A: The 9-103765-0 is a modular connector from the same family with identical pitch and mounting characteristics. It is not a direct replacement for 3-position applications but represents an alternative from the same connector series. It is suitable only for applications requiring 40 positions or where breakaway sections can be used.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68015-103 is RoHS non-compliant. Both Molex parts (0022288030 and 0022288032) are ROHS3 compliant, and the TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 is RoHS compliant. For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, the Molex or TE Connectivity alternatives are required.

Q: What are the contact length differences, and do they affect compatibility?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68015-103 has mating contact length of 0.230" (5.84mm) and post length of 0.090" (2.29mm). The Molex parts have slightly longer mating contacts at 0.244" (6.20mm) and post length of 0.120" (3.05mm). These minor dimensional variations are within typical connector tolerance ranges and do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive or medical applications?

A: The Molex KK254 series (0022288030 and 0022288032) are specified for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series is suitable for general industrial use. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific design requirements and regulatory standards for the intended end-use.
