Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68016-136H 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 material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (BERGSTIK® II)

The 68016-136HLF meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent. The primary distinction is product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68016-136HLF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68016-136H. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the BERGSTIK® II series. The 68016-136HLF is the recommended selection for new designs and production continuity due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. The 68016-136H remains available in existing inventory (1062 pcs) but is no longer in active production. The 68016-136HLF is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains full compatibility with applications originally designed for the 68016-136H.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 68016-136H and 68016-136HLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), contact geometry, and board-to-board interface specifications. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 68016-136H is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 68016-136HLF is active production and RoHS compliant. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Can I use the 68016-136HLF as a replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 68016-136HLF is fully compatible with applications using the 68016-136H. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 68016-136H packaging is listed as unspecified. The 68016-136HLF is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching to the 68016-136HLF?

A: The 68016-136HLF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 68016-136H is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, the 68016-136HLF is the required selection.

Q: Do both parts operate at the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 68016-136H and 68016-136HLF operate across -65°C to 130°C with identical thermal performance.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A per contact.
