Amphenol ICC 68024-436 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68024-436 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts and solder termination. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or application-specific performance requirements where alternative manufacturers' offerings meet the electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68024-436 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 36 positions to maintain PCB layout compatibility
• Pitch - Mating: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm) to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin for proper mating interface
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole for PCB assembly compatibility
• Termination: Must be Solder for connection method compatibility
• Contact Shape: Must be Square for contact alignment and retention
• Fastening Type: Must be Push-Pull for mechanical engagement consistency

The substitute parts listed below meet all critical parameters. Variations in contact finish, insulation material, contact length specifications, and operating temperature ranges are permissible within the scope of this product category, provided the core mechanical and electrical interface parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 8-146274-6

The 8-146274-6 is the preferred substitute for the 68024-436. Both parts share identical position count (36), pitch (2.54mm), and core mechanical interface parameters. The 8-146274-6 is currently active in production with RoHS compliance, providing supply continuity and regulatory alignment. Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and current rating (3A) exceed typical application requirements for this connector class.

Secondary Substitute: 3M 929705-06-36-I

The 929705-06-36-I meets all critical substitution parameters with 36 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This part features gold contact finish and is RoHS compliant with active product status. Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current rating (2.5A) are suitable for standard applications. The gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Not Recommended: TE Connectivity 4-103321-0

The 4-103321-0 has 40 positions, which exceeds the 36-position requirement of the main part. This position mismatch creates PCB layout incompatibility and makes this part unsuitable as a direct substitute. Additionally, this part is marked as obsolete, limiting long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-103321-0 be used as a substitute despite having 40 positions instead of 36?

A: No. The 40-position configuration is mechanically and electrically incompatible with designs specified for 36 positions. PCB footprints, connector housings, and mating interfaces are position-specific. Using a 40-position connector would require design modifications and is not a valid direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes on these connectors?

A: Both finishes are provided in the substitute parts. Tin finish (68024-436, 8-146274-6, 4-103321-0) offers standard corrosion resistance and cost efficiency. Gold finish (929705-06-36-I) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is preferred in high-reliability or harsh environment applications. Selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I are RoHS compliant. The original 68024-436 is RoHS non-compliant, and the 4-103321-0 has not applicable RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, the 8-146274-6 or 929705-06-36-I are appropriate selections.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: The 8-146274-6 and 4-103321-0 operate from -65°C to 105°C. The 929705-06-36-I operates from -40°C to 105°C. The original 68024-436 does not specify an operating temperature range. For applications requiring extended low-temperature performance below -40°C, the 8-146274-6 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I can be used interchangeably with the 68024-436 in existing assemblies, provided the PCB footprint, connector housing, and mating interface are compatible with the 36-position, 2.54mm pitch standard. Physical dimensions and contact geometry must be verified against assembly drawings before implementation.
