Amphenol ICC 68015-136 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68015-136 is a rectangular connector header featuring a right-angle, through-hole mount configuration with 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The BERGSTIK® II series connector serves board-to-board applications requiring solder termination and push-pull fastening.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 68015-136 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

• Pitch and Position Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch is the primary mechanical compatibility criterion
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation for PCB integration
• Termination Method: Solder termination for permanent board attachment
• Contact Type and Gender: Male pin headers for board-to-board connectivity
• Current and Voltage Ratings: Minimum 3A per contact capacity
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening for secure mating
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating for safety standards

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 9-103765-0 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the substitute features 40 positions compared to the original 36 positions, the identical pitch, mounting type, termination method, contact configuration, and current rating establish functional compatibility for applications where the increased position count does not create design constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 9-103765-0 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68015-136. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 68015-136 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The 9-103765-0 maintains active product status with documented inventory availability (2675 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Compliance Profile: The 9-103765-0 achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch (0.100"), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), termination method (solder), contact type (male pin), and current rating (3A) establish direct functional equivalence. The increased position count (40 vs. 36) does not compromise compatibility for applications utilizing 36 or fewer positions.

Operating Temperature Range: The 9-103765-0 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, whereas the original part does not provide this specification. This additional thermal specification may be advantageous for temperature-sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9-103765-0 directly replace the 68015-136 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications utilizing 36 or fewer positions. The identical pitch, mounting type, termination method, and contact configuration ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. PCB footprints designed for the 36-position header will accommodate the 40-position substitute without modification, as the additional positions extend beyond the original footprint boundary.

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference (36 vs. 40)?

A: The 40-position configuration provides additional contact positions. Designs utilizing only 36 positions will function identically; the extra 4 positions remain unused. This does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit for the original 36-position application.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The 9-103765-0 is RoHS compliant, while the 68015-136 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute is the appropriate selection. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the difference between the BERGSTIK® II and AMPMODU Mod II series?

A: These are distinct product lines from different manufacturers. Both series employ identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and similar mechanical configurations, enabling cross-series substitution based on the specified parameters.

Q: Does the breakaway feature of the 9-103765-0 affect compatibility?

A: No. The breakaway feature is an additional capability that does not impact compatibility with applications designed for the original non-breakaway header. The breakaway option provides design flexibility without compromising existing functionality.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 9-103765-0?

A: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. Bulk packaging is standard for connector headers and does not affect component performance or installation.
