Amphenol ICC 68415-108HLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68415-108HLF is an 8-position rectangular connector header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This component is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and features unshrouded, solder-terminated male pins with gold-plated mating contacts. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring compatible 8-position 2.54mm pitch headers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68415-108HLF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

8-position configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Single-row, unshrouded header design
Through-hole solder termination
Male pin contact type
Square contact geometry
Board-to-board application compatibility
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Substitute parts must maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics. Variations in contact length, post dimensions, contact finish composition, and insulation material are permissible provided the mating interface and board-level footprint remain compatible. Active product status and RoHS compliance are preferred for new designs but do not preclude functional substitution of obsolete or non-compliant alternatives in legacy applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain functional compatibility with the 68415-108HLF across core mating and mounting parameters. Selection among substitutes should prioritize product status and regulatory compliance:

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, RoHS Compliant):

77311-132-08LF (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK®)
342-40-108-00-592000 (Mill-Max 342 Series)
826648-8 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II)
929700-01-08-RK (3M 929 Series)
929705-01-08-EU (3M 929 Series)
929705-01-08-I (3M 929 Series)
929705-06-08-EU (3M 929 Series)
929705-06-08-I (3M 929 Series)

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Non-Compliant or Unspecified):

929700-01-08 (3M 929 Series, RoHS non-compliant)
929700-06-08 (3M 929 Series, RoHS non-compliant)

For new designs, select from primary substitutes. For legacy system maintenance where the original 68415-108HLF is unavailable, any listed substitute maintains board-level compatibility. Verify mechanical fit and contact length requirements against specific PCB design specifications before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68415-108HLF be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes share the critical mating parameters: 8-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row unshrouded design, through-hole solder termination, and square male pin contacts. Board-level footprint compatibility is maintained across all alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M 929 series variants (929700 vs. 929705)?

A: The 929700 series uses tin-lead or tin mating contact finish, while the 929705 series uses gold mating contact finish. The 929700-06-08 and 929705-06-08 variants feature extended post length (0.710") compared to the standard 0.110" post length in 929700-01-08 and 929705-01-08 variants. Selection depends on contact finish requirements and board-to-board stacking height specifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. The 77311-132-08LF, 342-40-108-00-592000, 826648-8, and all 929705 variants are RoHS compliant. The 929700-01-08 and 929700-06-08 are RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, select from the compliant alternatives.

Q: Does insulation color affect compatibility?

A: Insulation color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 826648-8 features green insulation while all other substitutes are black. This difference does not impact functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specifications?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance during mating cycles. The 68415-108HLF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold mating finish. Substitutes vary from 3.90µin to 200.0µin depending on finish type and manufacturer specification. Higher thickness generally provides extended contact life in high-cycle applications.

Q: Can the 826648-8 be used in applications requiring board-to-board only connections?

A: The 826648-8 is specified as "Board to Board or Cable" style, making it suitable for both applications. It functions as a direct substitute in board-to-board configurations.

Q: What is the difference between the -EU and -I variants in the 3M 929705 series?

A: The -EU and -I designations indicate regional or packaging variants within the 929705 series. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between them depends on regional availability and packaging requirements.
