Amphenol ICC 68458-115 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68458-115 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 15 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The BERGSTIK® II series component features male pin contacts with gold or GXT™ finish, suitable for board-to-board applications requiring push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68458-115 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Contact Shape: Square
• Style: Board to Board
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Operating Temperature Range: Must accommodate -65°C ~ 130°C or equivalent
• Current Rating: 3A minimum

The substitute parts listed below meet all primary matching criteria. Variations in contact finish, contact material composition, and insulation material do not preclude functional equivalence when electrical and mechanical interfaces remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (15-Position Configuration):

The Molex 0022288155 and 0022288151 are direct functional equivalents for the 68458-115. Both maintain the critical 15-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with identical mounting and termination characteristics. The Molex KK254 series components are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 0022288151 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offered in bulk packaging.

Secondary Substitute (40-Position Configuration):

The TE Connectivity 9-146305-0 shares the same pitch, mounting type, and termination method but provides 40 positions instead of 15. This part is suitable only for applications where the increased position count is acceptable or where breakaway capability is required. The AMPMODU Mod II series operates within a narrower temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) compared to the original specification (-65°C ~ 130°C).

Compliance Considerations:

The original 68458-115 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, supporting modern regulatory requirements. Selection should account for design specifications regarding RoHS compliance status.

Contact Finish Variations:

The 0022288151 features tin contact finish on mating surfaces with increased thickness (100.0µin), differing from the gold finish of the original part. This variation does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for standard applications but should be evaluated for specific corrosion resistance or contact resistance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022288155 or 0022288151 be used as direct replacements for the Amphenol ICC 68458-115?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts maintain identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (15), row configuration (1), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). The KK254 series connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible with the BERGSTIK® II series.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0022288155 and 0022288151?

A: The primary difference is packaging. The 0022288151 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 0022288155 packaging is not specified. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 0022288151 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 9-146305-0 listed as a substitute if it has 40 positions instead of 15?

A: The 9-146305-0 is listed as a secondary option because it shares the same pitch, mounting type, and termination characteristics. However, the 40-position configuration makes it suitable only for applications where additional positions are acceptable or required. This part is not a direct replacement for 15-position applications.

Q: Does the change from gold to tin contact finish affect compatibility?

A: The contact finish variation between the original gold finish and the tin finish of the 0022288151 does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for standard applications. However, applications with specific corrosion resistance or contact resistance requirements should evaluate this difference against design specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0022288155, Molex 0022288151, and TE Connectivity 9-146305-0 are all ROHS3 compliant. The original Amphenol ICC 68458-115 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance difference should be considered in design updates or regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: The Molex parts (0022288155 and 0022288151) do not specify an operating temperature range in available documentation. The TE Connectivity 9-146305-0 operates from -65°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the original specification of -65°C to 130°C. Verify temperature requirements against specific application needs.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, for the 15-position Molex parts. The identical pitch, mounting type, and footprint ensure direct PCB compatibility. The 40-position TE Connectivity part requires PCB layout modifications and is not interchangeable without design changes.
