Amphenol ICC 68016-436 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68016-436 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 part of the BERGSTIK® II series and is designed for board-to-board applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68016-436 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
Position Count & Pitch: 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
Mounting Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle configuration
Electrical Characteristics: 3A current rating, solder termination
Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating temperature range

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-103329-0-36 satisfies these core substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position counts, pitch spacing, mounting type, current ratings, and flammability certification. Differences in operating temperature range and contact finish composition are noted but do not preclude functional equivalence for standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 4-103329-0-36 is a functional equivalent for the Amphenol ICC 68016-436 based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and safety certifications. Both parts are non-compliant with RoHS and carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Key considerations for selection:

Operating Temperature: The Amphenol part supports -65°C to 130°C, while the TE Connectivity part supports -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C should retain the original Amphenol specification.
Contact Finish: The Amphenol part uses tin finish; the TE Connectivity part uses tin-lead finish. Both are suitable for solder termination applications.
Insulation Height: The TE Connectivity part has a higher insulation height (0.138" vs. 0.095"), which may affect board layout spacing in constrained designs.
Availability: Both parts are currently unavailable through standard distribution channels (obsolete and discontinued status). Procurement should verify current inventory through authorized distributors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 4-103329-0-36 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68016-436?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the TE Connectivity part's temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). The parts share identical position counts, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, current ratings, and flammability certification. The higher insulation height of the TE Connectivity part should be verified against board layout constraints.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The Amphenol part uses tin finish, while the TE Connectivity part uses tin-lead finish. Both finishes are compatible with solder termination processes and provide equivalent electrical performance for standard applications.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues between these connectors?

A: The primary mechanical difference is insulation height: 0.095" (Amphenol) versus 0.138" (TE Connectivity). This difference may affect board-to-board spacing in designs with tight vertical clearance. Verify mating connector compatibility and PCB layout before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "Breakaway" designation on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The AMPMODU Mod II series supports breakaway configurations, allowing individual positions to be separated if required. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard 36-position applications.

Q: Why are both parts listed as non-compliant with RoHS?

A: Both parts use tin-lead or tin contact finishes and phosphor bronze or copper alloy materials that do not meet RoHS compliance requirements. Applications requiring RoHS-compliant connectors require alternative part selection.
