Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), pitch (2.54mm), number of positions (4), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C). All substitute parts listed maintain these core specifications.

The Amphenol ICC 68423-204H has two direct substitutes within the same manufacturer family and two manufacturer-recommended alternatives from Molex. The Amphenol ICC 68458-104HLF represents the active-status equivalent within the BERGSTIK® II series. The Molex 0022288041 and 0022288043 are functionally compatible alternatives from the KK254 series, offering improved compliance and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68423-204H, the Amphenol ICC 68458-104HLF is the primary substitute. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the same BERGSTIK® II series while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The 68458-104HLF is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

The Molex 0022288041 and 0022288043 are manufacturer-recommended alternatives that provide equivalent functionality with ROHS3 compliance and broader availability. Both parts support board-to-board or cable configurations, offering design flexibility beyond the original specification. The 0022288041 features tin contact finish, while the 0022288043 provides gold contact finish matching the original part's mating surface treatment. Selection between these Molex alternatives depends on contact finish requirements and application-specific compliance mandates.

All substitute parts maintain the critical parameters: 2.54mm pitch, 4-position configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level. Dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-board interconnect applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 68458-104HLF directly replace the 68423-204H?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (4), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). The 68458-104HLF is the active-status equivalent within the same BERGSTIK® II series.

Q: What are the differences between the Molex 0022288041 and 0022288043?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical pitch, position count, and mounting specifications. The primary difference is contact finish: the 0022288041 features tin mating surface finish, while the 0022288043 provides gold mating surface finish. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements and connector compatibility.

Q: Are the Molex alternatives compatible with existing PCB designs?

A: The Molex KK254 series parts maintain the same 2.54mm pitch and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length (0.324" versus 0.318") and insulation height (0.098" versus 0.095"), which are within standard tolerances for board-to-board interconnect applications. PCB footprints designed for 2.54mm pitch headers are compatible.

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

A: The original 68423-204H is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts (68458-104HLF, 0022288041, 0022288043) are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive or medical applications?

A: The Molex alternatives (0022288041, 0022288043) are specified for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The Amphenol parts do not list specific applications in the provided data. Application suitability depends on design requirements and regulatory compliance mandates for the target industry.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68423-204H and 68458-104HLF are rated for 3A per contact. The Molex alternatives do not specify current rating in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed current capacity, the Amphenol parts provide explicit 3A rating.
