Amphenol ICC 68601-672 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68601-672 is a rectangular connector header for through-hole mounting, featuring 72 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector is designed for board-to-board applications with male pin contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1131 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required (such as RoHS compliance), or when specific contact finish or insulation material specifications better suit application requirements.

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 (Solder)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 929710 series part as a direct replacement for the 68601-672?

A: Yes, provided the contact length, contact finish, and compliance requirements match your application. All 929710 variants maintain the same 72-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch configuration. However, the 929710-01-36 is Last Time Buy status; for new designs, select an active part such as 929710-01-36-RK, 929710-06-36-RK, or 929710-10-36-RK.

Q: What is the difference between 929715-01-36-EU and 929715-01-36-I?

A: Both parts have identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 72 positions, 0.100" pitch, gold contact finish, 0.110" post length, and RoHS Compliant status. The difference is in insulation material: 929715-01-36-EU uses PCT, while 929715-01-36-I uses PBT with polyester and glass filler. Select based on your application's thermal and mechanical requirements.

Q: Why do some parts have longer post lengths?

A: Post length determines how far the solder tail extends from the insulation body. Longer posts (0.710" on 929710-06-36-RK and 929715-06-36-EU) are used for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration or specific board thickness accommodation. Standard posts (0.110") suit typical through-hole applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same operating temperature?

A: All 3M 929 series substitutes are rated for -40°C to 105°C. The original 68601-672 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: All 3M 929 series parts are rated for 2.5A per contact. The original 68601-672 does not specify a current rating in the provided data.

Q: Can I mix contact finishes in the same application?

A: Contact finish selection should be consistent across mating pairs to ensure reliable electrical performance. Gold finishes (929715 series) provide superior corrosion resistance compared to tin finishes (929710 series).

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance profile?

A: All 929715 series parts and the 929710-01-36-RK, 929710-06-36-RK, and 929710-10-36-RK variants are RoHS Compliant and currently Active in production, making them suitable for modern applications requiring environmental compliance.
