Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 68001-136HLF

The Amphenol ICC 68001-136HLF is the direct equivalent within the same manufacturer's active product line. It maintains identical core specifications including 36 positions, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 68001-136HLF is RoHS compliant and carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The primary geometric difference is a shorter post length (0.120" versus 0.483"), which requires PCB design verification for stack-height compatibility.

Secondary Recommendation: 77311-127-36LF

The Amphenol ICC 77311-127-36LF from the BERGSTIK® series provides an alternative within the same manufacturer ecosystem. It maintains all critical connector parameters and is RoHS compliant with active status. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C to 125°C. Post length is 0.105", requiring similar PCB design consideration as the 68001-136HLF.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives:

TE Connectivity 8-146274-6 (AMPMODU Mod II series) and Samtec TSW-136 series variants (TSW-136-07-F-S, TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, TSW-136-10-T-S) provide functionally equivalent solutions with active product status and RoHS compliance. These alternatives accommodate varying post lengths from 0.100" to 0.500" to match different application requirements. Samtec parts offer extended operating temperature ranges up to 125°C (gold-plated variants) or 105°C (tin-plated variants).

Sullins PGC36SAAN offers a cost-effective alternative with gold plating on both mating and post contacts, though operating temperature range is not specified.

Compliance Consideration:

All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliant status of the obsolete 68416-136H. This compliance upgrade is mandatory for new designs subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 68416-136H with 68001-136HLF without PCB modification?

A: Direct mechanical replacement requires PCB design verification. The primary difference is post length: 68416-136H has 0.483" posts while 68001-136HLF has 0.120" posts. If your PCB is designed for the longer posts of the original part, the shorter posts of the substitute will not reach the solder pads. PCB redesign or use of longer-post alternatives (TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S) may be necessary.

Q: What is the difference between gold-plated and tin-plated contact finishes?

A: Gold-plated contacts (68001-136HLF, 77311-127-36LF, TSW-136-09-G-S, TSW-136-10-G-S, PGC36SAAN) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, suitable for applications requiring high reliability. Tin-plated contacts (8-146274-6, TSW-136-09-T-S, TSW-136-10-T-S, HTSW-136-26-TM-S) are cost-effective alternatives with adequate performance for standard applications. Operating temperature limits may differ between finishes.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same mating connectors as the original 68416-136H?

A: All listed substitutes maintain the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 36-position configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch receptacles. However, contact length variations may affect mating force and electrical performance. Verify mating connector specifications before final selection.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this connector?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates the part does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, or specified brominated flame retardants. All active substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for electronics sold in the European Union and other regulated markets. The original 68416-136H is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operating temperature range?

A: Amphenol ICC 68001-136HLF and 77311-127-36LF, along with Samtec TSW-136-09-G-S and TSW-136-10-G-S, support -65°C to 125°C operating range. This extended range is suitable for industrial and automotive applications requiring wide temperature performance.

Q: Can I use TSW-136-10-G-S if my original design uses 68416-136H?

A: TSW-136-10-G-S is mechanically and electrically compatible at the connector interface level. The primary consideration is post length: TSW-136-10-G-S has 0.500" posts compared to 68416-136H's 0.483" posts. This 0.017" difference is within typical PCB tolerance and generally acceptable. Verify PCB pad depth and solder volume capacity before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between "Board to Board" and "Board to Board or Cable" style designations?

A: "Board to Board" connectors are designed exclusively for PCB-to-PCB connections. "Board to Board or Cable" connectors accommodate both PCB connections and wire harness terminations, providing design flexibility. All substitute parts designated as "Board to Board or Cable" are backward-compatible with board-to-board applications.
