Amphenol ICC 68683-306 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68683-306 is a 12-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, push-pull fastening, and operates across -65°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance profiles.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: 12-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, and solder termination. All qualified substitutes maintain these specifications.

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Category A: Direct Electrical & Mechanical Equivalents (Gold Mating Contact Finish) Parts 215307-6, 215311-6, 803-41-012-10-001000, 803-41-012-10-004000, 803-43-012-10-001000, and 803-93-012-10-001000 maintain gold contact finish on mating surfaces, matching the original specification.

Category B: Functional Equivalents (Alternative Contact Finish) Parts 803-91-012-10-001000 and 803-99-012-10-001000 and 803-99-012-10-004000 use tin-lead mating contact finish instead of gold, representing functional alternatives for applications where contact finish variation is acceptable.

Non-Equivalent Part: Part 535598-6 is excluded from substitution due to 10-position configuration, which does not meet the 12-position requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 803-99-012-10-001000 replace 68683-306 in existing designs? A: Yes, provided the application does not require gold mating contact finish. The 803-99-012-10-001000 maintains all core mechanical and electrical specifications: 12 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, and solder termination. The tin-lead mating contact finish is the primary difference.

Q: What is the difference between 803-41-012-10-001000 and 803-41-012-10-004000? A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is insulation height: 803-41-012-10-001000 measures 0.276" (7.00mm), while 803-41-012-10-004000 measures 0.272" (6.91mm). Packaging is bulk for both variants.

Q: Are TE Connectivity 215307-6 and 215311-6 interchangeable? A: Both parts maintain the 12-position, 0.100" pitch configuration with gold mating contact finish and push-pull fastening. Key differences include insulation material (215307-6 uses polyester; 215311-6 uses polybutylene terephthalate), insulation color (215307-6 offers black or green; 215311-6 is green only), and contact material (215307-6 uses phosphor bronze; 215311-6 uses copper alloy). Selection depends on specific insulation material and contact material requirements.

Q: Why is 535598-6 not listed as a substitute? A: Part 535598-6 is a 10-position connector, not 12-position. This fundamental difference in position count makes it incompatible with designs requiring the 68683-306 12-position configuration.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts? A: Mill-Max 803 series parts are available in bulk and tube packaging. TE Connectivity 215307-6 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements? A: All substitute parts except TE Connectivity 215311-6 are rated UL94 V-0. Part 215311-6 does not specify a flammability rating in the provided data.
