Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC 68015-405HLF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 68626-405HLF based on the following critical parameters:

Identical connector type, contact type, and number of positions (5-position header with male pins)
Matching pitch specification at 0.100" (2.54mm)
Identical mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle)
Matching termination method (solder)
Identical contact material (phosphor bronze) and mating finish (tin)
Matching insulation height and color specifications
Same series designation (BERGSTIK® II)
Equivalent flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction is product status: the 68626-405HLF is obsolete, while the 68015-405HLF is active with current manufacturing support and higher inventory availability (4400 pcs vs. 1089 pcs).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC 68015-405HLF is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 68626-405HLF. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the BERGSTIK® II series, with matching pitch, contact configuration, and termination characteristics.

The 68015-405HLF offers the following advantages for new designs and production transitions:

Active product status with ongoing manufacturing support
Significantly higher inventory availability (4400 pcs vs. 1089 pcs)
RoHS compliance certification
REACH compliance documentation
Specified current rating of 3A per contact
Equivalent UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The contact post length differs between the two parts (0.295" vs. 0.090"), which may require PCB layout verification for through-hole depth compatibility. Both parts maintain identical mating contact length and insulation height specifications, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 68626-405HLF and 68015-405HLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), number of positions (5), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and insulation height (0.095"). The primary mechanical difference is contact post length: 0.295" for the 68626-405HLF versus 0.090" for the 68015-405HLF. PCB hole depth and solder pad design must accommodate the shorter post length of the 68015-405HLF.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The 68015-405HLF is rated at 3A per contact. The 68626-405HLF does not specify a current rating in available documentation.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 68015-405HLF carries RoHS compliance and REACH compliance certifications. The 68626-405HLF does not specify these certifications. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Why is the 68626-405HLF obsolete?

A: The 68626-405HLF has been discontinued by Amphenol ICC. The 68015-405HLF serves as the active production equivalent within the BERGSTIK® II series.

Q: What packaging is available for the 68015-405HLF?

A: The 68015-405HLF is supplied in bag packaging. The 68626-405HLF packaging specification is not documented.

Q: Can I use the 68015-405HLF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The 68015-405HLF is functionally equivalent for electrical and mating characteristics. PCB layout verification is required to confirm compatibility with the shorter contact post length (0.090" vs. 0.295").
