Amphenol ICC 68021-130 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68021-130 is a BERGSTIK® II series rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector operates across a wide temperature range and is rated for 3A per contact at 110V. The part is currently in active production status with 683 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements permit alternative connector configurations that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68021-130 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Mating pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm)
• 2-row configuration
• Row spacing of 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Solder termination
• 3A current rating per contact
• Operating temperature range compatibility
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 4-103149-0 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU Mod II series) shares these core electrical and mechanical parameters. However, differences exist in position count (80 vs. 30), insulation height, contact material composition, and product status that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68021-130 is the preferred component for new designs due to its active product status and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The substitute part 4-103149-0 carries obsolete status, which presents supply and long-term availability risks.

Key considerations for substitution:

Position count difference: The 4-103149-0 provides 80 positions versus 30 on the 68021-130. Applications requiring exactly 30 positions cannot directly substitute without board redesign or selective position loading.

Operating temperature: The 68021-130 supports operation to 125°C, while the 4-103149-0 is limited to 105°C. Applications requiring the full temperature range of the primary part cannot use the substitute without thermal performance verification.

Insulation height: The 4-103149-0 has a 0.048" (1.22mm) greater insulation height (0.238" vs. 0.190"), which may affect board layout and clearance requirements.

Contact material: The 68021-130 uses phosphor bronze contacts while the 4-103149-0 uses copper alloy. Both materials meet the specified electrical requirements, but contact resistance and wear characteristics may differ.

RoHS compliance: The 68021-130 carries REACH Affected status. The 4-103149-0 is RoHS non-compliant, which restricts its use in applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-103149-0 directly replace the 68021-130 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is not recommended. The 4-103149-0 has 80 positions compared to 30 on the 68021-130, requiring board redesign. Additionally, the substitute part is obsolete, limiting future availability.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for each part?

A: The 68021-130 operates from -65°C to 125°C. The 4-103149-0 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the 68021-130.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. However, the 68021-130 is active production while the 4-103149-0 is obsolete, affecting long-term supply viability for high-reliability programs.

Q: What are the electrical rating differences?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A per contact. The 68021-130 specifies 110V rating. The 4-103149-0 does not provide a voltage rating specification. Current and contact material specifications are equivalent.

Q: How do the contact materials differ?

A: The 68021-130 uses phosphor bronze contacts while the 4-103149-0 uses copper alloy. Both materials support the specified 3A current rating and 30.0µin gold plating thickness. Contact resistance and mechanical wear characteristics may vary between materials.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on the 4-103149-0?

A: The 4-103149-0 is classified as a breakaway header, allowing individual positions to be separated. The 68021-130 is a standard header without this feature. This difference affects mechanical design and assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: The 68021-130 carries REACH Affected status. The 4-103149-0 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations must verify compliance requirements before substitution.
