Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 68483-136H

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68483-136H is a rectangular connector header featuring 36 vertical positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. The BERGSTIK® II series connector utilizes solder termination with push-pull fastening and unshrouded design, suitable for applications requiring reliable pin-to-board connections.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68483-136H is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1 row), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and shrouding status (unshrouded). All three substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements.

The substitute parts are grouped as active alternatives with the following distinctions:

• 2336-6211-TG (3M 2300 Series): Active status with board-to-board or cable style capability, tin-lead post finish, and 3A current rating specification.
• 8-146274-6 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II): Active status with breakaway header option, liquid crystal polymer insulation, and RoHS compliance certification.
• 929705-06-36-I (3M 929 Series): Active status with breakaway capability, extended post length (0.710"), and RoHS compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts satisfy the core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements for the obsolete 68483-136H. Selection among active alternatives depends on specific application constraints:

2336-6211-TG provides the most compact post length (0.120"), suitable for applications with limited board depth or where minimal connector protrusion is required. This part maintains active product status with specified current rating and operating temperature range.

8-146274-6 offers the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and includes RoHS compliance certification, making it suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance documentation. The breakaway header feature provides design flexibility for modular configurations.

929705-06-36-I features extended post length (0.710"), accommodating applications requiring deeper board penetration or additional mechanical support. RoHS compliance and breakaway capability are included. The 2.5A current rating is lower than alternatives and should be verified against application requirements.

Contact finish differences exist across substitutes: the main part specifies gold or gold GXT™, while 2336-6211-TG and 929705-06-36-I use gold finish, and 8-146274-6 uses tin finish. Contact material transitions from phosphor bronze to copper alloy across all substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68483-136H be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all three substitute parts meet the core substitution criteria: 36-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder header with push-pull fastening and unshrouded design. However, post length variations (0.120" to 0.710") may require PCB layout verification to ensure mechanical clearance compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between the three substitute options?

A: The main distinction is contact post length. 2336-6211-TG provides the shortest post (0.120"), 8-146274-6 offers mid-range length (0.125"), and 929705-06-36-I provides the longest post (0.710"). Operating temperature ranges and current ratings also differ. Selection depends on PCB design constraints and application environmental requirements.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations?

A: The original 68483-136H is RoHS non-compliant. Both 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I are RoHS compliant. If regulatory compliance is required, these two options are preferred. The 2336-6211-TG RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What are the contact finish differences?

A: The main part specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish. Substitutes 2336-6211-TG and 929705-06-36-I maintain gold mating finish. The 8-146274-6 uses tin mating finish. Gold finish typically provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability in low-signal applications.

Q: Do all substitutes support breakaway configurations?

A: The original 68483-136H is a standard header without breakaway capability. Substitutes 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I offer optional breakaway header variants, providing design flexibility for modular applications. The 2336-6211-TG is a standard header without breakaway option.

Q: What current ratings should be considered?

A: The original part does not specify current rating. Substitutes provide: 2336-6211-TG (3A), 8-146274-6 (3A), and 929705-06-36-I (2.5A). Application current requirements should be verified against these specifications to ensure adequate conductor capacity.

Q: Are insulation material differences significant?

A: Yes. The main part insulation material is not specified. Substitutes use: 2336-6211-TG (thermoplastic, glass-filled), 8-146274-6 (liquid crystal polymer), and 929705-06-36-I (polybutylene terephthalate/polyester, glass-filled). Material selection affects thermal performance and mechanical durability in specific environmental conditions.
