Amphenol ICC 68021-116 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68021-116 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 16 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector is designed for board-to-board connections with solder termination and push-pull fastening.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68021-116 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Position count (16 positions, 2 rows)
Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)
Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
Current rating (3A per contact minimum)
Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

All five substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact finish, insulation material, and contact geometry do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the 68021-116 across the critical parameters that determine interchangeability. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 68021-116 is obsolete. All substitute parts carry active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The original part is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production.

Operating Temperature Range: The 68021-116 operates from -65°C to 125°C. The Preci-Dip 802-V3, 892-18, 892-70, and 892-80 series operate from -55°C to 125°C, suitable for most applications. The Harwin M20-9740846 operates from -40°C to 105°C and should be selected only when the application temperature range does not exceed these limits.

Inventory Availability: All substitute parts are in stock. Selection may be influenced by required lead times and supply quantities for production schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68021-116 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 16-position, 2-row header with 0.100" pitch, male pins, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and 3A current rating per contact. They are functionally interchangeable for board-to-board connections.

Q: What is the primary reason to switch from the 68021-116?

A: The 68021-116 is obsolete. Substitute parts ensure continued component availability and compliance with current RoHS3 regulations.

Q: Are there differences in contact geometry between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 68021-116 features square contacts with gold or gold GXT finish. Substitute parts vary: the 802-V3 has circular contacts with gold finish; the 892-18, 892-70, and 892-80 have square contacts with different finish specifications (gold or tin); the M20-9740846 has square contacts with tin finish. These geometric and finish variations do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for low-temperature applications below -55°C?

A: None of the substitute parts operate below -55°C. The original 68021-116 operates to -65°C. If your application requires operation below -55°C, alternative connector families must be evaluated.

Q: Does the Harwin M20-9740846 have any unique features?

A: The M20-9740846 is designated as a cuttable header, allowing individual positions to be separated if needed. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the Preci-Dip alternatives. Select this part only when the cuttable feature is required and the application temperature range is within -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the original part's packaging specification.
