Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 68622-608 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Position count (16 positions)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish specification (Gold mating surface)
• Voltage and temperature ratings
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The 68622-608LF meets all these criteria and is designated as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: 68622-608 is obsolete, while 68622-608LF is active and RoHS compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68622-608LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68622-608. All electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications are identical. The 68622-608LF offers the additional advantage of RoHS compliance and REACH compliance status, making it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements. Both parts share the same base product number (68622) and Dubox™ series designation, confirming functional interchangeability.

For new designs or ongoing procurement, the 68622-608LF should be selected. For legacy systems currently using 68622-608, direct substitution with 68622-608LF is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68622-608LF be used as a direct replacement for 68622-608?

A: Yes. The 68622-608LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 68622-608. All contact configurations, pitch spacing, voltage ratings, and temperature specifications are equivalent. The primary difference is product status and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in 68622-608LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance. The 68622-608LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 68622-608 is not. This affects solder compatibility and environmental regulatory adherence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 68622-608 packaging is not specified in the data. The 68622-608LF is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The 1000V voltage rating and UL94 V-0 flammability rating support these use cases.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature environments?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -65°C to 125°C, supporting industrial and automotive thermal requirements.

Q: Is there a compatibility concern with existing PCB designs?

A: No. The 68622-608LF maintains identical footprint, pitch, and mounting specifications. Existing PCB designs require no modification for substitution.
