Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68648-010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Number of Positions: 24
Number of Rows: 2
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Connector Type: Header
Contact Type: Male Pin
Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors parts 1-103169-0 and 6-103169-0 satisfy all mandatory matching parameters. Both are active products from the AMPMODU Mod II series, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68648-010. The primary distinction between the two TE Connectivity substitutes is the contact finish on the post: 1-103169-0 uses Tin-Lead, while 6-103169-0 uses Tin.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity AMP Connectors substitutes (1-103169-0 and 6-103169-0) provide functional equivalence to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68648-010 across all critical mating and mechanical parameters.

1-103169-0 (Tin-Lead Post Finish): This substitute maintains compatibility with legacy designs and applications where tin-lead solder compatibility is required. RoHS status is not applicable, indicating this part may contain lead-based materials.

6-103169-0 (Tin Post Finish): This substitute is RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations and modern environmental compliance requirements. The tin post finish provides lead-free termination compatibility.

Both substitutes are active products with established supply chains, addressing the obsolescence of the original Amphenol ICC part. Selection between the two should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and solder process compatibility within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 1-103169-0 and 6-103169-0 fully compatible with the Amphenol ICC 68648-010?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts match the critical parameters of the Amphenol ICC 68648-010: 24 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall design, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Functional compatibility is established across mating interfaces and mechanical envelope.

Q: What is the difference between 1-103169-0 and 6-103169-0?

A: The primary difference is the contact finish on the post. 1-103169-0 uses Tin-Lead, while 6-103169-0 uses Tin. Additionally, 6-103169-0 is RoHS Compliant, whereas 1-103169-0 has not applicable RoHS status. Both provide identical mating and mechanical characteristics.

Q: Why does the Amphenol ICC 68648-010 show as obsolete?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68648-010 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series (1-103169-0 and 6-103169-0) represents the active alternative for new designs and ongoing component procurement.

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

A: The Amphenol ICC 68648-010 packaging is not specified in the available data. Both TE Connectivity substitutes are supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in fastening type between the main part and substitutes?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68648-010 uses Push-Pull fastening, while both TE Connectivity substitutes use Detent Lock fastening. Both fastening mechanisms provide secure mating and are suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

Q: Which substitute should I select for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select 6-103169-0, which is explicitly RoHS Compliant. This part is suitable for designs subject to RoHS regulations and modern environmental compliance standards.
