Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68024-116 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align with the original specification:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 16 — exact match required
• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — exact match required
• Termination: Solder — exact match required
• Style: Board to Board or Board to Board/Cable compatible
• Shrouding: Unshrouded — exact match required
• Contact Shape: Square — exact match required
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — minimum requirement

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold-based finishes acceptable
• Insulation Color: Black — standard specification
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) — compatible with original

The substitute part 6-146276-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPMODU Mod II series) meets all primary and secondary matching criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent for the 68024-116.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 68024-116 (Amphenol ICC)

The original 68024-116 remains the preferred component for applications where the BERGSTIK® II series specification is required. This part maintains active product status with established supply availability. However, RoHS non-compliance may restrict use in regulated markets or applications subject to environmental compliance mandates.

Alternative Selection: 6-146276-6 (TE Connectivity)

The 6-146276-6 serves as a functional equivalent for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This substitute maintains identical pitch, position count, contact type, and mounting configuration. The part is active with higher inventory availability (3025 units). The AMPMODU Mod II series provides board-to-board or cable compatibility, offering expanded application flexibility compared to the board-to-board-only configuration of the original part.

Compliance Considerations:

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements. Applications subject to RoHS3 directives must use 6-146276-6. Applications without RoHS compliance requirements may use either part based on supply chain and cost considerations.

Physical Dimension Variance:

Minor differences exist in contact post length (0.150" vs. 0.125") and insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.090"). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-board interconnect applications but should be verified against specific PCB design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-146276-6 be used as a direct replacement for 68024-116?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), position count (16), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination (solder). The mating contact length is identical at 0.318" (8.08mm). Minor differences in post length and insulation height do not affect standard board-to-board interconnect functionality.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 6-146276-6 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 68024-116 is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute also offers board-to-cable compatibility in addition to board-to-board configuration. Contact material differs (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), and contact finish thickness on the mating surface is reduced (15.0µin vs. 30.0µin).

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues when substituting?

A: The contact post length differs by 0.025" (0.63mm), and insulation height differs by 0.010" (0.254mm). These variations are minor and compatible with standard PCB design tolerances. Applications with tight mechanical constraints should verify these dimensions against specific board specifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS3 compliance requirements, specify 6-146276-6. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is acceptable based on supply chain and cost optimization. Both parts maintain active product status with established availability.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The 68024-116 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The 6-146276-6 operates across -65°C to 105°C, which covers standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-current applications?

A: The 6-146276-6 is rated for 3A continuous current. The 68024-116 does not specify a current rating. Applications requiring current capacity verification should reference detailed electrical specifications or contact the manufacturer directly.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Both parts are available in bulk packaging. The 68024-116 is currently in stock with 987 units, while the 6-146276-6 has higher availability with 3025 units in inventory.
