Amphenol ICC 68464-272 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68464-272 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications with 72 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited long-term availability, identifying active equivalent parts is essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 68464-272 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (72)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Style (Board to Board)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)

The substitute parts BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C from Samtec Inc. meet all these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both are active products in the BBD series, providing direct functional equivalence for the obsolete 68464-272.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C are suitable replacements for the obsolete 68464-272 based on product status and compliance certifications.

BBD-136-G-C features gold contact finish on mating surfaces, while BBD-136-T-C features tin contact finish. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing regulatory advantages over the original non-compliant part. The operating temperature range of the Samtec alternatives (-55°C ~ 125°C) is narrower than the original part (-65°C ~ 130°C); applications requiring the full original temperature range require evaluation of specific use conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C direct replacements for 68464-272?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent based on core electrical and mechanical parameters: 72-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Both are active products, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C?

A: The primary difference is contact finish. BBD-136-G-C uses gold plating on mating contacts, while BBD-136-T-C uses tin plating. Both use nickel plating on post contacts. Selection depends on application requirements for contact durability and electrical performance.

Q: Does the narrower operating temperature range of the Samtec parts affect compatibility?

A: The Samtec alternatives operate from -55°C to 125°C, compared to the original -65°C to 130°C. Applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C range experience no functional impact. Applications requiring the full original temperature range must evaluate specific environmental conditions.

Q: Are the Samtec parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 68464-272 is RoHS non-compliant. This provides regulatory compliance benefits for new designs and procurement.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C are supplied in tube packaging, with 1087 and 878 pieces in stock respectively.
