Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 68024-136HLF (Amphenol ICC)

The 68024-136HLF is the direct manufacturer alternative from Amphenol ICC with active product status. It maintains identical core electrical and mechanical parameters to the 68633-136H, including 36 positions, 0.100" pitch, 0.318" mating contact length, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. This part achieves RoHS compliance and is available in bulk packaging with 1750 units in stock. The primary difference is reduced post contact length (0.150" versus 0.225"), which is acceptable for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Secondary Substitutes: Cross-Manufacturer Options

The 2336-6211-TG (3M 2300 series), 8-146274-6 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II), and 929705-06-36-I (3M Series 929) all meet the core substitution criteria with active product status and UL94 V-0 compliance. These parts maintain the critical 36-position, 0.100" pitch, and 0.318" mating contact length specifications. Selection among these options depends on post contact length requirements and operating temperature range specifications for the application.

Compliance Considerations

The original 68633-136H is RoHS non-compliant. The 68024-136HLF, 8-146274-6, and 929705-06-36-I are RoHS compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. The 2336-6211-TG RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68024-136HLF directly replace the 68633-136H?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical core specifications: 36 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.318" (8.08mm) mating contact length, square contact shape, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 68024-136HLF has a shorter post contact length (0.150" versus 0.225"), which is compatible with standard PCB through-hole depths.

Q: What is the difference between the post contact lengths across substitute parts?

A: Post contact length varies: 68633-136H (0.225"), 68024-136HLF (0.150"), 2336-6211-TG (0.120"), 8-146274-6 (0.125"), and 929705-06-36-I (0.710"). Shorter posts are suitable for standard PCB applications. The 929705-06-36-I with extended post length (0.710") is designed for applications requiring deeper insertion or stacking configurations.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 68633-136H is RoHS non-compliant. The 68024-136HLF, 8-146274-6, and 929705-06-36-I are RoHS compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use one of these compliant alternatives.

Q: What are the operating temperature ranges for each substitute?

A: Operating temperatures vary: 2336-6211-TG (-55°C to 105°C), 8-146274-6 (-65°C to 105°C), and 929705-06-36-I (-40°C to 105°C). The 68633-136H and 68024-136HLF do not specify operating temperature ranges in available documentation.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same contact finish?

A: No. The 68633-136H and 68024-136HLF feature gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish. The 2336-6211-TG and 929705-06-36-I use gold finish. The 8-146274-6 uses tin finish. Contact finish selection affects corrosion resistance and electrical performance in specific environments.

Q: What is the inventory availability for each part?

A: Current stock levels are: 68633-136H (913 units), 68024-136HLF (1750 units), 2336-6211-TG (1027 units), 8-146274-6 (3080 units), and 929705-06-36-I (1268 units).
