Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68626-136 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the BERGSTIK® II connector family. The following parameters must remain constant for direct substitution:

Connector type: Header
Contact type: Male Pin
Number of positions: 36
Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
Termination: Solder
Contact shape: Square
Contact finish - mating: Gold or Gold, GXT™
Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
Insulation height: 0.095" (2.41mm)
Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
Insulation color: Black
Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts 68015-136HLF and 68016-136HLF maintain these critical parameters. Variations in contact length post and operating temperature range do not affect mating compatibility or board-level functionality.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 68015-136HLF and 68016-136HLF are active product alternatives to the obsolete 68626-136. Selection between these substitutes is determined by compliance and packaging requirements:

68015-136HLF is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and bag packaging. This part provides a 0.090" (2.29mm) contact post length and operates across -65°C to 125°C.

68016-136HLF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering RoHS compliance and bulk packaging. This part provides a 0.120" (3.05mm) contact post length and operates across -65°C to 130°C, providing an extended upper temperature rating.

Both substitutes maintain identical mating contact geometry, pitch, and electrical interface characteristics. The primary differences are contact post length and operating temperature range. Selection should be based on PCB design requirements for post length and application temperature specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68015-136HLF and 68016-136HLF be used interchangeably with 68626-136?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with 68626-136 for mating interface purposes. The primary difference is contact post length. Verify PCB pad depth and solder joint requirements before selection.

Q: What is the difference between 68015-136HLF and 68016-136HLF?

A: The parts differ in contact post length (0.090" versus 0.120") and maximum operating temperature (-65°C to 125°C versus -65°C to 130°C). Both maintain identical mating contact specifications and pitch.

Q: Why is 68626-136 obsolete?

A: The 68626-136 has been superseded by active product variants within the BERGSTIK® II family. The substitute parts provide equivalent functionality with improved compliance status.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 68015-136HLF and 68016-136HLF are RoHS compliant. The original 68626-136 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: 68015-136HLF is supplied in bag packaging. 68016-136HLF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different current ratings?

A: Both substitute parts are rated for 3A per contact. The original 68626-136 does not specify a current rating.
