Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 68015-136HLF qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Identical connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Matching position count (36 positions, single row)
Identical mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Matching termination method (Solder) and fastening type (Push-Pull)
Identical contact geometry (Square shape, Phosphor Bronze material)
Matching contact finish specification (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
Identical insulation material properties (Black, UL94 V-0)
Same series designation (BERGSTIK® II)

The 68015-136HLF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 68417-136, with enhanced electrical and environmental specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68015-136HLF is the direct active production substitute for the obsolete 68417-136. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring form-fit-function compatibility in board-to-board applications.

The 68015-136HLF provides additional advantages for new designs and ongoing production:

Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
RoHS compliance meets current regulatory requirements for electronic components
Specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A per Contact) provide defined performance parameters
REACH compliance status indicates compliance with chemical substance regulations

The minor difference in contact post length (0.120" vs. 0.090") does not affect mating interface compatibility, as the mating contact length remains identical at 0.230" (5.84mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68015-136HLF directly replace the 68417-136 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (36), mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle), and contact geometry. The mating interface is fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact post lengths?

A: The contact post length difference (0.120" vs. 0.090") affects solder joint formation on the PCB but does not impact the mating interface. Both parts maintain the same 0.230" (5.84mm) mating contact length. PCB design should accommodate the specific post length of the selected part.

Q: Why is the 68417-136 marked as obsolete?

A: The 68417-136 has been superseded by the 68015-136HLF in Amphenol ICC's product portfolio. The 68015-136HLF is the active production equivalent with enhanced specifications and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 68015-136HLF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, while the 68417-136 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, the 68015-136HLF is required.

Q: What packaging is available for the 68015-136HLF?

A: The 68015-136HLF is supplied in bag packaging, as specified in the product data.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: The 68015-136HLF specifies a current rating of 3A per contact and operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 125°C. The 68417-136 does not provide these specifications in available documentation. For applications requiring defined electrical performance, the 68015-136HLF specifications apply.
