Amphenol ICC 68464-372 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68464-372 is a rectangular connector header featuring 72 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. The BERGSTIK® II series connector provides solder termination with push-pull fastening in an unshrouded configuration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68464-372 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
Position Count & Row Configuration: 72 positions in 2 rows
Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening
Board Interface Style: Board-to-board unshrouded design

The Samtec Inc. BBD series connectors (BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C) satisfy these core substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. Variations exist in contact finish specifications and operating temperature ranges, which are documented in the parameter comparison table below.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BBD-136-G-C (Gold Finish): This substitute maintains the gold contact finish specification of the original 68464-372, providing direct functional equivalence for applications requiring gold-plated mating surfaces. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status with 1087 units in stock. The operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C is narrower than the original specification; applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 125°C require thermal performance validation.

BBD-136-T-C (Tin Finish): This alternative provides tin-plated mating contacts and is functionally equivalent for applications where tin finish is acceptable. ROHS3 compliance and active product status are maintained. The identical operating temperature range and electrical characteristics apply as with the gold-finish variant.

Both Samtec substitutes provide active product availability, ROHS3 compliance, and equivalent mechanical and electrical performance within their specified operating ranges. Selection between BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C depends on contact finish requirements and application-specific environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C be used interchangeably with 68464-372?

A: Both Samtec parts satisfy the core substitution criteria: identical 72-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Selection between them depends on contact finish requirements. The operating temperature range is narrower (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -65°C ~ 130°C); applications operating outside this range require thermal validation.

Q: What are the key differences between BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C?

A: The primary difference is mating contact finish: BBD-136-G-C features gold plating, while BBD-136-T-C features tin plating. Both maintain identical position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method. Contact finish selection should align with application requirements and PCB pad specifications.

Q: Are the Samtec substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C are ROHS3 compliant. The original 68464-372 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must transition to the Samtec alternatives.

Q: What is the packaging format for substitute parts?

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

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Both Samtec parts maintain identical pitch, row spacing, and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB footprints designed for 68464-372 are mechanically compatible with BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C. Contact length and insulation height specifications differ; verify that mating connector specifications accommodate the Samtec part dimensions before implementation.
