Amphenol ICC 68016-402 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68016-402 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 2 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing production and design updates. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 68016-402 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) - must match exactly for connector alignment
• Number of Positions: 2 - electrical interface requirement
• Number of Rows: 1 - physical layout constraint
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle - PCB assembly compatibility
• Termination: Solder - assembly process compatibility
• Style: Board to Board - application requirement
• Contact Type: Male Pin - mating interface specification
• Shrouding: Unshrouded - mechanical envelope
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull - connection mechanism

The three substitute parts listed (68016-402HLF, 5-103329-2, and 800-90-002-20-001000) meet these core requirements. Variations in contact material, contact finish thickness, insulation height, and operating temperature do not prevent functional substitution in standard applications, though design-specific thermal or environmental requirements may necessitate evaluation of these secondary parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

68016-402HLF (Amphenol ICC) - Direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status. Maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications as the obsolete 68016-402. Achieves RoHS compliance and provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C) and current rating (3A). Recommended as primary substitute for direct replacement in new designs and production updates.

5-103329-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) - Cross-manufacturer alternative with active product status and RoHS compliance. Meets all core substitution parameters with identical pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. Offers breakaway connector option for flexible assembly. Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A) are specified. Insulation height (0.138") differs from original specification; verify PCB layout clearance before implementation.

800-90-002-20-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) - Alternative from specialized connector manufacturer with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Meets core substitution requirements with identical pitch and position count. Contact shape is circular rather than square; contact length specifications vary slightly (mating: 0.195" vs. 0.230", post: 0.126" vs. 0.120"). Material flammability rating not specified. Suitable for applications where contact geometry variation is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68016-402HLF be used as a direct replacement for 68016-402?

A: Yes. The 68016-402HLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the mating interface, including pitch (0.100"), position count (2), contact type (male pin), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle). The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the contact shape difference in the 800-90-002-20-001000?

A: The 800-90-002-20-001000 features circular contacts instead of square contacts. This affects contact engagement characteristics and mating force. While the pitch and position count remain identical, the circular contact geometry may produce different insertion forces and contact pressure distribution. Evaluate mating connector compatibility before selection.

Q: Does the insulation height variation in the 5-103329-2 affect compatibility?

A: The 5-103329-2 has an insulation height of 0.138" compared to 0.095" in the original 68016-402. This increases the overall profile height. Verify that PCB layout, component spacing, and mating connector clearances accommodate this dimensional change. The core electrical interface remains compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 68016-402HLF and 5-103329-2 are RoHS compliant. The 800-90-002-20-001000 is ROHS3 compliant. The original 68016-402 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, all three substitutes are acceptable.

Q: What is the difference between the operating temperature ranges?

A: The 68016-402HLF operates from -65°C to 130°C, while the 5-103329-2 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The original 68016-402 and 800-90-002-20-001000 do not specify operating temperature ranges. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the 68016-402HLF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The 68016-402HLF is a direct substitute requiring no design changes. The 5-103329-2 and 800-90-002-20-001000 require evaluation of dimensional variations (insulation height, contact length, contact shape) against specific PCB layout and mating connector specifications before implementation.
