Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68015-136H is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Number of positions (36)
Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Contact dimensions (Mating length 0.230", Post length 0.090")
Insulation height (0.095")
Current rating (3A per Contact)
Contact material and finish specifications
Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 68015-136HLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is the packaging format and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68015-136HLF serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 68015-136H. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connector parameters including pitch, position count, contact dimensions, and current rating.

The primary advantages of selecting 68015-136HLF are:

Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
RoHS compliance status aligns with current regulatory requirements
Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) is explicitly specified
Established supply chain with higher current inventory levels

The 68015-136H remains functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement and operating temperature specifications are within the stated range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 68015-136H and 68015-136HLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (36), mounting style (through-hole right-angle), and contact dimensions. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance certification, and packaging format. The 68015-136HLF is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance and specified operating temperature range.

Q: Can I use 68015-136HLF as a replacement for 68015-136H in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific constraints against RoHS-compliant components. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors use 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, which is the standard spacing for this connector family.

Q: What is the current rating per contact?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A per contact, supporting a maximum total current capacity of 108A across all 36 positions under standard operating conditions.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The 68015-136HLF specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Operating temperature specifications are not provided for the 68015-136H. Verify application requirements against the specified range.

Q: What contact finish is used on these connectors?

A: Both parts feature gold or gold GXT™ finish on mating contacts with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact.
