Amphenol ICC 68653-336 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68653-336 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This unshrouded, single-row 36-position header operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The connector is classified as Active product status and serves board-to-board interconnection requirements in electronic assemblies.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, and specific application requirements where equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (36)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Shrouding configuration (Unshrouded)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The Samtec Inc. TSW-136-15-G-S meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 and Samtec Inc. TSW-136-15-G-S maintain Active product status and share equivalent core electrical and mechanical specifications for 36-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole header applications.

The Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S offers ROHS3 compliance, whereas the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Contact finish thickness differs between the two parts: the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) mating contact finish, while the Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both finishes are gold-based and suitable for standard interconnection applications.

Minor variations in contact length dimensions exist within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board interconnection. The Samtec part provides documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), while the Amphenol ICC part does not specify this parameter in the provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), row configuration (1), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68653-336 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) mating contact finish, while the Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both are gold finishes suitable for standard signal and power distribution. The thicker finish on the Amphenol part may provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications, while the Samtec finish is adequate for typical board-to-board interconnection.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and procurement consideration, not a functional substitution criterion. The Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S is ROHS3 compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on application regulatory requirements and supply chain policies.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts are available in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are 716 pieces for the Amphenol ICC 68653-336 and 767 pieces for the Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S. Availability should be confirmed with the component supplier for specific project timelines.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The Samtec TSW-136-15-G-S specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The Amphenol ICC 68653-336 does not provide operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring documented temperature performance, the Samtec part provides explicit thermal operating limits.
