Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68022-372 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Connector configuration: Header type with male pin contacts
Position and pitch specifications: 72 positions across 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting and termination: Through-hole, right-angle mount with solder termination
Mechanical interface: Push-pull fastening with unshrouded, square contact design
Electrical and safety compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and black insulation

The 3M 2372-5221-TG meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting orientation, and termination method. Both are unshrouded headers with square contacts and push-pull fastening. Both achieve UL94 V-0 material flammability rating with black insulation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 2372-5221-TG is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68022-372. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. The 3M part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance profiles: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), REACH affected status, and EAR99 export classification. Both are RoHS non-compliant and classified under the same HTSUS code.

The insulation height difference of 0.002" (0.04mm) between the two parts is within typical manufacturing tolerance ranges and does not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 3M 2372-5221-TG a suitable substitute for the Amphenol ICC 68022-372?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 72-position, 2-row header configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and unshrouded square contact design. Mechanical and electrical interface parameters are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in board-to-board applications.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these two connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68022-372 is rated for 5A at 110V, while the 3M 2372-5221-TG is rated for 3A with no specified voltage rating. Applications requiring the full 5A current capacity of the original part should be evaluated against the 3A rating of the substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The insulation height difference of 0.002" (0.04mm) falls within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not impact mechanical fit or electrical performance in typical PCB applications. This minor variation is not a limiting factor for substitution.

Q: Can the 3M 2372-5221-TG be used in cable applications?

A: The 3M part is specified for both board-to-board and cable applications, whereas the Amphenol ICC 68022-372 is specified for board-to-board only. The 3M connector offers expanded application flexibility.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory considerations for this substitution?

A: Both parts share identical compliance classifications: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 (unlimited). No additional regulatory evaluation is required for substitution based on these parameters.
