Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 68021-114 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Header type with male pin contacts, 14 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating per contact and push-pull fastening mechanism
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 5-146308-7 meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The substitute maintains functional compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-146308-7 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 68021-114. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 68021-114 is classified as obsolete, while the 5-146308-7 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance Profile: The substitute part is RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and identical moisture sensitivity levels.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute maintains identical pitch, position count, contact geometry, current rating, and termination method. Mating contact dimensions and finish specifications are equivalent.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The substitute operates across -65°C to 105°C, compared to the original part's -65°C to 125°C range. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require evaluation against actual thermal requirements.

Packaging: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, differing from the original part's unspecified packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146308-7 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68021-114 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -65°C to 105°C temperature range. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), contact geometry, current rating (3A), and solder termination. The substitute's breakaway feature provides additional design flexibility without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature difference?

A: The original part supports operation to 125°C, while the substitute supports 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must confirm thermal requirements against actual operating conditions. Most standard industrial and commercial applications operate within the substitute's temperature range.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance addresses material composition and environmental impact, not electrical characteristics. Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance, current rating, and voltage specifications.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Both parts specify gold mating contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The original part lists "Gold or Gold, GXT™" while the substitute specifies standard gold. Both finishes meet the same electrical and corrosion resistance requirements for this connector class.

Q: What does the "Breakaway" designation on the substitute part indicate?

A: The breakaway feature allows individual positions to be separated from the connector header, providing design flexibility for applications requiring modular configurations. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when transitioning to the substitute part?

A: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging. Verify that tray packaging is compatible with your assembly and handling processes. Consult with your supplier regarding alternative packaging options if required.
