Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts for the 68482-140HLF are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:
- Position Count & Row Configuration: 40 positions in 2-row arrangement
- Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
- Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
- Contact System: Male pin configuration with gold mating surface
- Compliance Profile: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
The identified substitutes from Samtec Inc. (ZW-20-09-L-D-360-120-LL and ZW-20-09-S-D-360-120-LL) meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria. Both parts are classified as Active products with equivalent position density, pitch spacing, and through-hole solder termination. Differences in contact finish thickness and stack height specifications are secondary parameters that do not affect primary mating functionality when application requirements align with the substitute specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both Samtec substitutes maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL ratings, ensuring long-term availability and environmental regulatory alignment. The ZW-20-09-S-D-360-120-LL variant matches the original 68482-140HLF contact finish thickness specification at 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing direct electrical equivalence in mating surface characteristics. The ZW-20-09-L-D-360-120-LL variant operates with reduced contact finish thickness at 10.0µin (0.25µm), which remains within acceptable gold plating parameters for standard connector applications but should be evaluated against specific contact resistance requirements if critical to system performance.
Selection between substitutes should prioritize the ZW-20-09-S-D-360-120-LL when contact finish thickness specification is a design constraint. Both parts share identical position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, and through-hole solder termination, confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original 68482-140HLF footprint and mating interface.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Samtec ZW-20-09 series parts directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68482-140HLF?
A: Yes, both ZW-20-09-L-D-360-120-LL and ZW-20-09-S-D-360-120-LL maintain identical position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100"), and through-hole solder termination. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for standard board-to-board applications.
Q: What is the difference between ZW-20-09-L-D-360-120-LL and ZW-20-09-S-D-360-120-LL?
A: The primary difference is contact finish thickness on the mating surface. The ZW-20-09-L variant specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating, while the ZW-20-09-S variant specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm), matching the original 68482-140HLF specification. Both maintain gold contact finish material and equivalent electrical performance in standard applications.
Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?
A: The 68482-140HLF is supplied in Bag packaging with 1107 pieces in stock. The Samtec substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging with 1009 pieces (ZW-20-09-L) and 671 pieces (ZW-20-09-S) in stock. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility.
Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?
A: Yes. The 68482-140HLF is RoHS Compliant, while both Samtec substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and are suitable for applications requiring environmental regulatory compliance.
Q: What is the significance of the kinked pin termination on the Samtec parts?
A: The kinked pin termination on ZW-20-09 series connectors is a mechanical feature that enhances solder joint retention during PCB assembly. This does not affect electrical performance or mating compatibility with the original 68482-140HLF specification.
