Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 68683-307LF

The Amphenol ICC 68683-307LF is the direct equivalent replacement. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original 68683-307 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred choice for direct substitution in new designs and production runs.

Secondary Recommendations: Preci-Dip 416 Series

The Preci-Dip 416 series (416-83-214-41-003101, 416-83-214-41-018101, 416-87-214-41-003101, 416-87-214-41-018101) provides functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. These parts maintain the same pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. Minor dimensional variations in insulation height and contact length exist but remain within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board connectivity.

Tertiary Recommendations: TE Connectivity and Mill-Max

The TE Connectivity 5-534206-7 (AMPMODU Mod II series) and Mill-Max 803 series (803-41-014-10-001000, 803-41-014-10-004000, 803-83-014-10-003101, 803-83-014-10-004101) offer alternative sources with active product status and full compliance certifications. These parts maintain core interface compatibility while offering different contact materials and current ratings.

Compliance Consideration

All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliance status of the original 68683-307. Selection should prioritize parts with ROHS3 compliance for applications requiring the highest regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68683-307LF be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 68683-307?

A: Yes. The 68683-307LF maintains identical specifications for connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination, fastening type, contact finish, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and socket connector types in this product category?

A: Receptacle connectors accept mating plugs or headers, while socket connectors receive pins. Both types in this comparison maintain the same 14-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and are compatible with standard 0.100" pitch pin headers.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist in insulation height and contact length among substitute parts. The 68683-307 has an insulation height of 0.276" (7.00mm), while Preci-Dip 416-83 series parts measure 0.315" (8.00mm) and 416-87 series parts measure 0.276" (7.00mm). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for through-hole board-to-board applications.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The original 68683-307 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold mating finish and 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin post finish. Substitute parts maintain similar specifications, ensuring equivalent contact reliability and longevity.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest current rating?

A: The Mill-Max 803 series receptacles (803-41-014-10-001000 and 803-41-014-10-004000) offer 4.5A current rating, compared to the original part which does not specify a current rating. The Preci-Dip 416 and 803-83 series socket connectors offer 3A current rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original 68683-307 is packaged in tubes. The 68683-307LF maintains tube packaging. Preci-Dip and Mill-Max alternatives are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with suppliers based on production requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these connectors?

A: All parts listed maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The original 68683-307 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. REACH compliance status varies by manufacturer and should be confirmed for specific applications.
