Amphenol ICC 68464-472 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68464-472 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features 72 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 68464-472 are identified based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 72 positions in 2 rows
• Mating Pitch & Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) for both mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Style & Fastening: Board-to-board with push-pull fastening

The substitute parts BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C from Samtec Inc. meet these core functional requirements. Both are active-status products from the BBD series, providing design continuity for applications requiring 72-position 2.54mm pitch headers with through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Samtec BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C connectors provide functional substitution for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68464-472. Key considerations for selection:

BBD-136-G-C (Gold Mating Finish): Offers gold contact finish on mating surfaces, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in applications requiring superior environmental performance.

BBD-136-T-C (Tin Mating Finish): Provides tin contact finish matching the original 68464-472 specification, supporting direct functional replacement with equivalent contact material properties.

Both substitute parts are active-status products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original obsolete part does not meet. The operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C is narrower than the original -65°C ~ 130°C specification; applications requiring the full original temperature range require thermal performance validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C be used interchangeably with the 68464-472?

A: Both Samtec parts meet the core functional requirements: 72-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch through-hole headers with push-pull fastening and solder termination. The primary difference is contact finish (gold versus tin). Selection depends on application requirements for contact material and environmental exposure.

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

A: The parts are identical except for mating contact finish. BBD-136-G-C features gold plating (20.0µin thickness) on mating contacts, while BBD-136-T-C uses tin finish. Both include nickel plating (50.0µin thickness) on post contacts.

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

A: The Samtec substitutes operate from -55°C ~ 125°C, compared to the original -65°C ~ 130°C range. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 125°C require thermal performance assessment before substitution.

Q: Are the Samtec parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both BBD-136-G-C and BBD-136-T-C are ROHS3 compliant. The original 68464-472 is RoHS non-compliant, making the Samtec alternatives suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format 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.
