Amphenol ICC 68024-636H Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68024-636H is an active-status vertical header connector featuring 36 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This unshrouded connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and is part of the BERGSTIK® II series. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary when addressing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application compatibility needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical performance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68024-636H is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mating pitch (2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1 row), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact geometry (square), and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0). The substitute parts listed—TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 8-146274-6 and 3M 929705-06-36-I—satisfy all mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in contact material, contact finish composition, insulation material, and post length do not preclude substitution when the mating interface parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and satisfy all mandatory mating interface requirements. The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 offers RoHS compliance and operates across -65°C to 105°C with a 3A current rating. The 3M 929705-06-36-I provides RoHS compliance, operates across -40°C to 105°C with a 2.5A current rating, and features gold contact finish matching the primary part's mating surface treatment. The original 68024-636H carries RoHS non-compliant status. Selection between substitutes should be based on regulatory requirements, operating temperature range specifications, and current capacity demands of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68024-636H?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1), contact geometry (square male pins), mounting method (through hole), and termination type (solder). The insulation height difference (0.090" versus 0.100") does not affect mating compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 3M 929705-06-36-I and the original part?

A: The 3M connector features a longer post length (0.710" versus 0.150"), operates at a lower maximum current rating (2.5A versus unspecified), and provides gold contact finish on both mating and post surfaces. Mating interface parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there compliance considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The original 68024-636H is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts are RoHS compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use either the TE Connectivity or 3M substitute.

Q: Does contact finish affect substitution eligibility?

A: Contact finish differences (gold versus tin) do not preclude substitution when mating pitch, position count, contact geometry, and electrical interface parameters remain constant. Contact finish selection should align with application-specific corrosion resistance and solderability requirements.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 maintains 3,080 pieces in stock. The 3M 929705-06-36-I maintains 1,268 pieces in stock. The original Amphenol ICC part maintains 682 pieces in stock.
