Amphenol ICC 68046-607 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68046-607 is a 14-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board surface mount applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, push-pull fastening, and operates across -65°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 68046-607LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector type and contact configuration (14-position receptacle, female socket)
Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting technology (surface mount with solder termination)
Contact finish specification (gold-plated mating surface)
Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C)
Voltage rating (1000V)
Insulation material and flammability rating (PPS, Glass Filled; UL94 V-0)
Series designation (Dubox™)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and RoHS compliance, not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68046-607LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68046-607. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board connector applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs or production requiring RoHS compliance: Use 68046-607LF, which carries RoHS Compliant certification.
For legacy system maintenance where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable: Either part is functionally equivalent.
For supply chain continuity: The 68046-607LF is active with higher inventory availability (1133 pcs vs. 718 pcs), providing better long-term sourcing reliability.
For packaging requirements: The 68046-607LF is supplied in tube packaging, which may affect handling and assembly processes compared to the main part's unspecified packaging.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, with no export or tariff implications from substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68046-607LF be used as a direct replacement for 68046-607 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The connector will mate with the same plug connectors and function identically across the specified operating temperature range and voltage rating.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. compliant), and packaging format. Functionally and mechanically, they are equivalent.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical or mechanical function. Both parts will perform identically in the application.

Q: Why is 68046-607 listed as obsolete?

A: The 68046-607LF is the active production equivalent. Amphenol ICC transitioned to the RoHS-compliant version, making the original part obsolete for new orders.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across -65°C to 125°C and are rated for 1000V. Contact finish thickness, material composition, and all electrical specifications are identical.

Q: What packaging does each part come in?

A: The 68046-607LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 68046-607 packaging is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes, from a functional standpoint. However, if RoHS compliance is a requirement for the final product, only 68046-607LF should be used.
