Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 68683-232 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 64-position configuration with 2-row layout
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Receptacle connector type with female socket contacts
• Board-to-board style with through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contact finish
• Black insulation with 0.276" (7.00mm) height
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 803-93-064-10-001000 meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact material, contact finish thickness, post finish composition, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical interface parameters are equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 68683-232 and Mill-Max 803-93-064-10-001000 are active production connectors meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The Mill-Max substitute offers ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The Amphenol ICC part supports a lower operating temperature minimum of -65°C compared to -55°C for the Mill-Max alternative, making the original part suitable for extended cold-temperature applications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements, operating temperature range specifications, and availability constraints specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 803-93-064-10-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68683-232?

A: Yes, for applications where the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is acceptable. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, row configuration, position count, and fastening mechanism. Verify that your application does not require operation below -55°C.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these two parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68683-232 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the Mill-Max 803-93-064-10-001000 uses beryllium copper contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Q: Does the difference in mating contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. The mating contact finish thickness difference (15.0µin versus 30.0µin) does not affect the mechanical or electrical interface compatibility. Both finishes provide adequate gold plating for the 0.100" pitch receptacle interface.

Q: Is the RoHS compliance difference significant?

A: The Mill-Max part is ROHS3 compliant while the Amphenol ICC part is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS compliance, the Mill-Max substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the significance of the post finish difference (Tin versus Tin-Lead)?

A: The post finish applies to the solder termination interface. Tin-lead finishes are traditional; tin finishes are lead-free. Selection depends on your soldering process and environmental regulations applicable to your manufacturing location.
