Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the 68415-636. Selection between substitutes should account for the following compliance and certification factors:

The 929705-06-36-I (3M) is RoHS Compliant and includes REACH Unaffected status, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and 2.5A current rating.

The PBC36SFAN (Sullins) is ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, and 3A current rating.

The PEC36SFAN (Sullins) is ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, and 3A current rating.

The PEC36SFCN (Sullins) is ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, and 3A current rating.

The original 68415-636 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must transition to one of the substitute parts. The Sullins options (PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) provide extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 125°C) compared to the 3M alternative (-40°C to 105°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929705-06-36-I replace the 68415-636 in all applications?

A: The 929705-06-36-I meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. However, it has a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus unspecified for the original) and lower current rating (2.5A versus unspecified). Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, and PEC36SFCN?

A: All three Sullins parts share identical electrical specifications and operating ranges. The primary differences are contact post length (PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN: 0.120", PEC36SFCN: 0.320") and contact finish on the mating surface (PBC36SFAN: Gold, PEC36SFAN and PEC36SFCN: Tin). Select based on PCB thickness and soldering requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 929705-06-36-I is RoHS Compliant. The three Sullins parts (PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original 68415-636 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What is the difference in contact length between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 68415-636 has an overall contact length of 0.615" (15.62mm). The 929705-06-36-I is significantly longer at 1.128" (28.65mm) due to extended post length. The Sullins PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN are shorter at 0.538" (13.67mm), while PEC36SFCN is 0.738" (18.75mm). Contact length affects PCB hole depth and board stackup compatibility.

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

A: Interchangeability depends on PCB design specifications. Verify that board hole depth, solder pad layout, and mechanical clearances accommodate the substitute part's contact dimensions. The 929705-06-36-I's extended post length may require design modification.

Q: What is the difference between Gold and Tin contact finishes?

A: Gold finishes (929705-06-36-I, PBC36SFAN mating surface) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin finishes (PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) are cost-effective alternatives suitable for standard soldering processes. Selection depends on environmental exposure and electrical performance requirements.
