Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the 68415-436 for board-to-board through-hole applications with 36-position 2.54mm pitch headers. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following criteria:

PEC36SFAN (Sullins Connector Solutions) offers the highest inventory availability (6328 units) and maintains phosphor bronze contact material consistent with the original design. This part features tin finish on both mating and post contacts, ROHS3 compliance, and an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

PBC36SFAN (Sullins Connector Solutions) provides an alternative with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, offering enhanced corrosion resistance on the mating interface. This part also features ROHS3 compliance and the same extended operating temperature range.

PEC36SFCN (Sullins Connector Solutions) differs from PEC36SFAN primarily in post contact length (0.320" versus 0.120"), accommodating applications requiring deeper board penetration or specific PCB thickness requirements.

929705-06-36-I (3M) features gold plating on both mating and post contacts with a copper alloy base material. This part is RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring enhanced contact durability, though it has a more limited operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and lower current rating (2.5A) compared to Sullins alternatives.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, black insulation color, and push-pull fastening type. The original 68415-436 is obsolete; active substitutes ensure long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929705-06-36-I replace the 68415-436 in all applications?

A: The 929705-06-36-I is mechanically and electrically compatible for standard board-to-board applications. However, its post contact length (0.710") differs significantly from the original (0.115"), which may affect fit in applications with specific PCB thickness or stacking height constraints. Verify mechanical clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between PEC36SFAN and PEC36SFCN?

A: Both parts are identical except for post contact length. PEC36SFAN has 0.120" posts, while PEC36SFCN has 0.320" posts. Select based on your PCB thickness and mounting depth requirements.

Q: Are the Sullins parts (PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) interchangeable with each other?

A: PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN differ in contact finish (gold mating vs. tin mating) and contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze). Both are mechanically compatible. PEC36SFCN differs only in post length. Selection depends on contact finish requirements and mechanical fit.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect electrical performance?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in specific environments. Tin-plated contacts (PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) are suitable for standard applications. Gold-plated contacts (PBC36SFAN, 929705-06-36-I) provide enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh or high-humidity environments.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for these parts?

A: The original 68415-436 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for all substitutes. However, verify post contact length against your PCB design, particularly if the original design relied on specific insertion depth or stacking height. Contact finish differences may affect performance in corrosive environments.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: PEC36SFAN offers the highest inventory (6328 units), followed by PBC36SFAN (4272 units), making these the preferred choices for immediate procurement needs.
