Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68622-617 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 34 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating contact finish
• Fastening & Features: Push-pull fastening with board lock
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature -65°C ~ 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

68622-617LF (Amphenol ICC) - Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Active product status with RoHS compliance.

1-147102-7 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) - Cross-manufacturer substitute from the AMPMODU Mod IV series. Meets all core parameters with minor variations in insulation height and contact finish thickness specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

68622-617LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 68622-617. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Dubox™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 68622-617LF offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and procurement where regulatory compliance is required.

1-147102-7 serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative from TE Connectivity. While it meets all core functional parameters, it differs in three specifications: insulation height (0.265" versus 0.310"), post contact finish (Tin-Lead versus Tin), and post contact finish thickness (150.0µin versus 100.0µin). The 1-147102-7 also lacks specified flammability rating documentation. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the dimensional and material differences are compatible with the target application's PCB layout and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68622-617LF be used as a direct replacement for 68622-617?

A: Yes. The 68622-617LF is a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. Both parts are Amphenol ICC Dubox™ series connectors with matching pitch, position count, contact configuration, and operating parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between 68622-617LF and 1-147102-7?

A: Both parts share the same core connector specifications (34 positions, 0.100" pitch, surface mount, push-pull fastening). Differences include: insulation height (0.310" for 68622-617LF versus 0.265" for 1-147102-7), post contact finish material (Tin versus Tin-Lead), post contact finish thickness (100.0µin versus 150.0µin), and manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus TE Connectivity). The 1-147102-7 offers bottom or top entry configuration flexibility.

Q: Is the insulation height difference between 68622-617LF and 1-147102-7 significant?

A: The 0.045" (1.14mm) difference in insulation height may affect PCB layout clearances and mating stack heights. Verify that the 1-147102-7's 0.265" height is compatible with your board design, connector cavity depth, and any stacking requirements before selection.

Q: What is the impact of different post contact finish specifications?

A: The 68622-617LF uses tin plating at 100.0µin thickness, while the 1-147102-7 uses tin-lead plating at 150.0µin thickness. These differences affect solder joint formation and long-term reliability characteristics. Confirm compatibility with your PCB assembly process and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Does RoHS compliance matter for this connector?

A: The 68622-617LF is RoHS compliant, while both the original 68622-617 and 1-147102-7 are RoHS non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the 68622-617LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The 68622-617LF is a direct interchange for 68622-617 without design modification. The 1-147102-7 requires design verification due to dimensional and material differences, particularly insulation height and contact finish specifications. Confirm mechanical fit and electrical performance requirements before substitution.
