Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 68024-104 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — all substitutes must maintain identical mating pitch
Number of Positions: 4 — connector must accommodate exactly 4 positions
Connector Type: Header with male pin contact type
Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
Fastening Type: Push-pull mechanism
Number of Rows: 1 — single-row configuration
Style: Board to board connectivity
Shrouding: Unshrouded design

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from Amphenol ICC and cross-manufacturer alternatives from Molex, TE Connectivity, and 3M. All listed substitutes maintain the core electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional interchangeability. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and product status are documented but do not preclude substitution when electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: The 68024-104HLF is the active production equivalent from Amphenol ICC, maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering RoHS compliance and active product status. This part is the primary recommendation for direct replacement in new designs and ongoing procurement.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives:

TE Connectivity 826648-4 (AMPMODU Mod II series) provides functional equivalence with active product status and RoHS compliance. This part maintains the 4-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The contact length specifications differ slightly (0.315" mating vs. 0.318" for the original), and the insulation color is green rather than black. Current rating is specified at 5A.

3M 929700-01-04 and 929700-11-04 (929 series) offer active alternatives with RoHS non-compliant and compliant variants respectively. Both maintain the core 4-position, 2.54mm pitch header configuration with solder termination. The 929700-11-04-RK variant provides RoHS compliance with tin contact finish. Current rating is specified at 2.5A. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C.

3M 929705-01-04-EU and 929705-01-04-I provide gold-plated contact alternatives with RoHS compliance and active product status. These parts maintain identical pitch and position configuration with operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and 2.5A current rating.

Molex 0022303043 (KK254, 42375 series) is an active alternative with ROHS3 compliance. This part features kinked pin termination in addition to solder capability and tin contact finish. The mating contact length is 0.405" (10.29mm), which exceeds the original specification. This part is suitable for applications requiring breakaway connector capability.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select 68024-104HLF, 826648-4, or 3M variants with RoHS Compliant designation. For legacy designs where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable, 929700-01-04 and 929700-11-04 remain available. All listed substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68024-104HLF directly replace the obsolete 68024-104? A: Yes. The 68024-104HLF is the active Amphenol ICC equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. It maintains the same 4-position, 2.54mm pitch, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability? A: Substitutability is determined by: 4-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, male pin header type, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, single-row unshrouded design, and board-to-board connectivity. All listed substitutes maintain these parameters.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between the original and substitutes? A: Yes. The original 68024-104 specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish. Substitutes vary: 68024-104HLF maintains gold finish; 3M 929700 series uses tin-lead; 3M 929705 series uses gold; Molex 0022303043 uses tin; TE Connectivity 826648-4 uses gold. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements and environmental conditions.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS compliant and non-compliant variants? A: RoHS compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The 68024-104HLF, 826648-4, and 3M 929700-11-04-RK, 929705 series are RoHS compliant. The original 68024-104 and 3M 929700-01-04, 929700-11-04 are non-compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Are there current rating differences between substitutes? A: Yes. The original 68024-104 does not specify current rating. Substitutes vary: 68024-104HLF and 826648-4 are rated 5A; 3M 929 series variants are rated 2.5A; Molex 0022303043 does not specify current rating. Verify current requirements for your application before selection.

Q: Can the Molex 0022303043 be used as a direct substitute? A: The Molex 0022303043 maintains the 4-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and is functionally compatible. However, it features kinked pin termination in addition to solder capability and has a longer mating contact length (0.405" vs. 0.318"). It is suitable for applications where breakaway capability is beneficial or acceptable.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute? A: The original 68024-104 does not specify operating temperature. TE Connectivity 826648-4 and 3M 929 series variants operate from -65°C to 105°C or -40°C to 105°C respectively. Molex 0022303043 does not specify operating temperature. Verify temperature requirements for your application environment.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging? A: All listed substitutes are available in bulk packaging. The original 68024-104 packaging is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors? A: All parts, including the original 68024-104 and all substitutes, are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
