Amphenol ICC 68016-104 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68016-104 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 4 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole, board-to-board connector features male pins with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68016-104 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Position count: 4 positions in single row configuration
Mounting: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
Termination: Solder connection
Fastening: Push-pull mechanism
Contact geometry: Square pin profile
Electrical rating: 3A current capacity
Flammability: UL94 V-0 compliance

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with full parameter alignment:

Primary Substitute (Active Status): Molex 0022288042 — Active product with identical pitch, position count, mounting type, and electrical ratings. Offers improved RoHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability.

Secondary Substitute (Obsolete Status): Würth Elektronik 61300411021 — Active product with matching core specifications. Provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and RoHS3 compliance.

Non-Qualifying Substitute: TE Connectivity 4-103148-0 — 40-position configuration. Does not qualify as a direct substitute due to position count mismatch (40 vs. 4 positions).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3-compliant designs: Select Molex 0022288042 or Würth Elektronik 61300411021. Both are active products with full RoHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original 68016-104 does not meet.

For extended temperature operation: Würth Elektronik 61300411021 supports -40°C ~ 125°C, providing broader thermal range coverage compared to the original specification of -65°C ~ 130°C. Verify application requirements before selection.

For maximum inventory availability: Molex 0022288042 offers 4,428 units in stock versus 9,534 units for Würth Elektronik 61300411021, providing procurement flexibility.

For legacy system maintenance: Both active substitutes maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original 68016-104 footprint and mating interface, enabling direct board-level replacement without redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022288042 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68016-104?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (4), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Contact length variations (0.230" vs. 0.244" mating length) fall within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB applications. Verify mating receptacle compatibility before deployment.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the Würth Elektronik 61300411021 substitute?

A: The 61300411021 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). It maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters of the original 68016-104, making it suitable for both legacy support and new designs requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 4-103148-0 not listed as a substitute?

A: The 4-103148-0 is a 40-position connector, not a 4-position connector. Position count is a non-negotiable substitution parameter. This part is mechanically and electrically incompatible with the 68016-104 and cannot be used as a direct replacement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: Molex 0022288042 is supplied in bulk packaging. Würth Elektronik 61300411021 is also supplied in bulk packaging. The original 68016-104 packaging specification is not provided. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement before finalizing supplier selection.

Q: What contact finish differences exist between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 68016-104 specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish at 30.0µin thickness. Molex 0022288042 provides gold finish at 15.0µin thickness (thinner). Würth Elektronik 61300411021 specifies gold finish with thickness not provided. For applications requiring specific contact finish thickness, verify compatibility with mating connector specifications.
