Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: ZF1-30-01-TM-WT (Samtec Inc.)

The Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT provides the closest functional equivalence to the Würth Elektronik 68613014422. Both connectors feature bottom-mounted contacts, identical 30-position 1.00mm pitch configuration, matching height above board (3.00mm), and ZIF operation. The Samtec part maintains ROHS3 compliance and supports the same operating temperature range. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original specification is required.

Secondary Substitute: SFW30R-4STE1LF (Amphenol ICC / FCI)

The Amphenol ICC SFW30R-4STE1LF meets core electrical and mechanical parameters with 30 positions, 1.00mm pitch, and 1A current rating. However, this connector features top-mounted contacts rather than bottom-mounted, requiring PCB layout modification. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and ZIF feature provide enhanced capability for demanding applications. This substitute is applicable when PCB design accommodates top-contact configuration.

Tertiary Substitute: FFC3B07-30-T (GCT)

The GCT FFC3B07-30-T shares the 30-position, 1.00mm pitch, bottom-contact configuration and matches the operating temperature range. However, the current rating is limited to 0.4A (compared to 1A for the original), and voltage rating is 50V (compared to 125V). The height above board is reduced to 2.50mm. This substitute is applicable only in applications with reduced power requirements and where the lower profile is advantageous. The absence of ZIF feature represents a functional difference.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 or equivalent compliance and active product status, supporting long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FFC3B07-30-T (GCT) be used as a direct replacement for the Würth 68613014422?

A: The FFC3B07-30-T is mechanically compatible with matching 30-position, 1.00mm pitch, bottom-contact configuration. However, electrical limitations apply: the current rating is 0.4A versus 1A for the original, and voltage rating is 50V versus 125V. Substitution is valid only when circuit requirements do not exceed these reduced ratings. The absence of ZIF feature is an additional functional difference.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT and the original Würth connector?

A: The Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT is functionally equivalent in all critical parameters: 30 positions, 1.00mm pitch, bottom contacts, 3.00mm height, ZIF operation, and solder termination. No design modifications are required for direct substitution. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) provides additional capability beyond the original specification.

Q: Why is the Amphenol ICC SFW30R-4STE1LF listed as a substitute if it has top-mounted contacts?

A: The SFW30R-4STE1LF meets the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria: 30 positions, 1.00mm pitch, right-angle surface mount, solder termination, 1A current rating, and ZIF operation. The top-contact configuration represents a design variation that requires PCB layout modification but does not prevent functional equivalence. This substitute is applicable when the design can accommodate the contact orientation change.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Würth 68613014422, Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT, and GCT FFC3B07-30-T are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC SFW30R-4STE1LF is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these connectors?

A: The Würth 68613014422 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with 2230 units in stock. The GCT FFC3B07-30-T is also Tape & Reel with 3062 units available. The Amphenol ICC SFW30R-4STE1LF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format with 4043 units in stock. The Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT is supplied in Tube packaging with 611 units available. Packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements and order quantity.

Q: Can the ZF1-30-01-TM-WT be used in applications requiring UL94 V-0 flammability rating?

A: The Samtec ZF1-30-01-TM-WT carries a UL94 V-2 flammability rating, which differs from the UL94 V-0 rating of the original Würth connector. Applications with specific UL94 V-0 requirements must use the Würth 68613014422 or the Amphenol ICC SFW30R-4STE1LF, both of which meet this higher flammability standard.
