Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68683-229 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 58 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Mating Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 125°C range
• Insulation Material & Color: Black insulation

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-534206-9 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. Both parts are rated for identical pitch, position count, mounting method, and operating temperature range. Differences in contact finish thickness, insulation height, and insulation material composition do not affect interchangeability for standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 68683-229 and TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 are active production parts suitable for 58-position board-to-board connector applications. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance and regulatory requirements specific to the end application.

The Amphenol ICC 68683-229 is RoHS non-compliant, making it suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. The TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 is ROHS3 compliant, providing compatibility with applications and markets requiring RoHS3 certification.

Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for pitch, position count, mounting method, operating temperature range, and contact configuration. The TE Connectivity substitute provides thicker gold plating on mating contacts (30.0µin versus 15.0µin) and slightly greater insulation height (0.320" versus 0.276"), which may offer enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications. The Amphenol part uses polyphenylene sulfide insulation while the TE part uses polyester insulation; both materials are glass-filled and suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68683-229 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (58), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (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 difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The TE Connectivity part features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts compared to 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the Amphenol part. Thicker plating provides extended contact life in high-cycle mating environments and improved corrosion resistance. For standard applications with moderate mating cycles, both thicknesses are functionally equivalent.

Q: How do the insulation materials differ between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68683-229 uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) glass-filled insulation, while the TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 uses polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials support the -65°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection does not affect connector interchangeability for standard applications.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The Amphenol part is RoHS non-compliant while the TE Connectivity part is ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements of the target market or end application. Applications requiring RoHS3 certification must use the TE Connectivity 2-534206-9.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68683-229 has 961 units in stock, while the TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 has 1092 units in stock. Both parts are in active production with adequate inventory for standard procurement timelines.

Q: Do these connectors support the same voltage rating?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68683-229 is rated for 1000V. The TE Connectivity 2-534206-9 does not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. For applications requiring explicit voltage rating confirmation, the Amphenol part provides documented 1000V capability.
