Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 68633-136

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68633-136 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting with 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active alternative parts that maintain functional and mechanical compatibility. Substitute parts must preserve the core electrical and mechanical characteristics required for board-to-board connectivity applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (36)
• Row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation color (Black)

All three substitute parts meet these core criteria. Variations in contact length, contact finish composition, and operating temperature ranges do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are classified as active products and maintain full compatibility with the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements of the 68633-136. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

2336-6211-TG (3M 2300 Series): This part provides direct dimensional and functional equivalence with gold mating contact finish. Current rating of 3A and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C support general-purpose applications. Inventory availability is 1027 units.

8-146274-6 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II): This part features tin mating contact finish and the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). RoHS compliance status is vendor-undefined. Current rating of 3A and breakaway connector capability provide design flexibility. Inventory availability is 3080 units.

929705-06-36-I (3M 929 Series): This part offers gold contact finish on both mating and post surfaces with RoHS compliance. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C with a current rating of 2.5A. Breakaway connector capability is included. Inventory availability is 1268 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68633-136 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts maintain identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1), contact shape (square), and fastening type (push-pull). These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility for board-to-board header applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height variation in the 8-146274-6?

A: The 8-146274-6 has an insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) compared to 0.100" (2.54mm) in the main part and other substitutes. This 0.010" difference may affect mating clearance in applications with tight mechanical tolerances. Verify board layout compatibility before selection.

Q: How do contact finish differences affect substitution?

A: The 68633-136 specifies gold or gold GXT™ mating finish. The 2336-6211-TG and 929705-06-36-I maintain gold finish, while the 8-146274-6 uses tin finish. Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Gold finish is preferred for applications requiring superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended service life.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations?

A: The 68633-136 is RoHS non-compliant. The 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I are RoHS compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for new designs, the 8-146274-6 or 929705-06-36-I are appropriate selections. The 2336-6211-TG RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What operating temperature range should be selected?

A: The 68633-136 does not specify an operating temperature range. The 8-146274-6 provides the widest range (-65°C to 105°C), followed by the 2336-6211-TG (-55°C to 105°C) and 929705-06-36-I (-40°C to 105°C). Select based on application environmental requirements.

Q: Do current rating differences impact substitution?

A: The 68633-136 does not specify a current rating. The 2336-6211-TG and 8-146274-6 are rated for 3A, while the 929705-06-36-I is rated for 2.5A. For applications requiring 3A per contact, the 2336-6211-TG or 8-146274-6 are appropriate. Verify actual current requirements before selection.

Q: What is the difference between standard header and breakaway header configurations?

A: The 8-146274-6 and 929705-06-36-I are classified as breakaway headers, allowing individual pins or groups of pins to be separated from the main connector body. The 2336-6211-TG is a standard header without this capability. Breakaway functionality provides design flexibility for applications requiring modular pin configurations.
