Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliant Applications: Select 929700-01-05-RK, 929705-01-05-EU, or 929705-01-05-I. These parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and are actively supported. The 929705 series offers gold contact finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, while 929700-01-05-RK provides tin finish with equivalent electrical performance.

For Non-RoHS Applications with Extended Temperature Range: The 3M 2305-6211-TB and 2305-6211-TG support -55°C to 105°C operating temperature, exceeding the -40°C to 105°C range of the 929 series. These are suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.

For Direct Mechanical Compatibility: The 929700-01-05 and 929705-01-05-I maintain the same contact post length (0.110") and overall contact length (0.528") as other active substitutes. All listed substitutes maintain the critical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 5-position configuration required for mating interface compatibility.

Contact Finish Considerations: The original 68024-405 uses tin finish. Substitutes with gold finish (929705 series) provide superior corrosion resistance in humid or corrosive environments. Tin-finish alternatives (929700-01-05, 929700-01-05-RK) maintain cost efficiency for standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact post length? A: Yes. The contact post length affects PCB penetration depth but does not compromise the mating interface. All listed substitutes maintain the 0.318" (8.08mm) contact length for mating, which is the critical dimension for connector engagement. Verify PCB hole depth accommodates the substitute's post length.

Q: What is the difference between the 929700 and 929705 series? A: The 929700 series uses tin or tin-lead contact finish, while the 929705 series uses gold finish. Both series share identical pitch, position count, and mating contact length. Gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance; tin finish is suitable for standard applications.

Q: Are the 3M 2305 series connectors compatible with the original Amphenol ICC 68024-405? A: Yes. The 2305-6211-TB and 2305-6211-TG maintain the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 5-position configuration, and mating contact length. The primary difference is the extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C for the 929 series) and higher current rating (3A versus 2.5A).

Q: Does the insulation material affect substitution compatibility? A: Insulation material does not affect mating interface compatibility. The 68024-405 uses unspecified insulation material, while substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT), or thermoplastic with glass fill. All maintain the required 0.100" (2.54mm) insulation height and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Which substitute offers the best RoHS compliance and active product support? A: The 929700-01-05-RK, 929705-01-05-EU, and 929705-01-05-I all carry RoHS Compliant certification and active product status. The 929705 series additionally offers REACH Unaffected status, making these optimal for regulated markets.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same design? A: All listed substitutes maintain identical pitch, position count, and mating contact dimensions. However, verify that your PCB layout accommodates any variations in contact post length and insulation material thickness before mixing manufacturers.
