Amphenol ICC 68683-330 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68683-330 is a 60-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, tin-plated posts, and operates across -65°C to 125°C. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs requiring compatible interconnect solutions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (60), mating pitch (0.100"), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). Substitute parts must maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility within these constraints.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (AMPMODU Series): Parts 3-534206-0, 3-534998-0, and 8-534206-0 maintain identical core mechanical specifications and are active products. These parts differ in insulation material composition and contact post finish thickness but preserve the critical mating interface parameters.

Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. (803 Series): Parts 803-41-060-10-001000, 803-41-060-10-004000, 803-91-060-10-001000, 803-93-060-10-001000, 803-93-060-10-002000, 803-99-060-10-001000, and 803-99-060-10-004000 maintain the same 60-position, 0.100" pitch configuration. These parts feature circular contact geometry and beryllium copper contact material, differing from the original square contact design, but preserve board-to-board interconnect functionality.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

TE Connectivity 3-534206-0 and 8-534206-0 are the closest functional equivalents. Both maintain identical contact geometry (square), contact material (phosphor bronze), mating pitch, and row configuration. The 8-534206-0 variant offers ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements. Both are active products with established supply chains.

Secondary Substitutes (Mechanical Compatibility with Design Considerations):

Mill-Max 803 series connectors (803-41-060-10-001000, 803-91-060-10-001000, 803-93-060-10-001000, 803-99-060-10-001000) maintain the 60-position, 0.100" pitch configuration required for board-to-board interconnection. These parts feature circular contact geometry and beryllium copper material, which differ from the original square phosphor bronze design. The 803 series offers higher current ratings (4.5A) and ROHS3 compliance on most variants. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than the original -65°C to 125°C specification.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, select 8-534206-0 (TE Connectivity) or any 803 series variant except 803-93-060-10-002000. The original 68683-330 and TE Connectivity 3-534206-0 and 3-534998-0 are non-compliant or undefined for RoHS status.

Temperature Range Limitations:

Mill-Max 803 series parts operate to -55°C minimum, compared to the original -65°C specification. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use TE Connectivity AMPMODU variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 68683-330 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible with TE Connectivity 3-534206-0 and 8-534206-0, as they maintain identical contact geometry, material, and mating interface specifications. Mill-Max 803 series parts are mechanically compatible but feature different contact geometry (circular vs. square) and material composition (beryllium copper vs. phosphor bronze). Board layout and mating connector compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II and Mod IV?

A: Both maintain the same 60-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and contact specifications. The primary differences are insulation material (Polyester for Mod II vs. Thermoplastic for Mod IV) and insulation height (0.320" for Mod II vs. 0.265" for Mod IV). These differences affect board-level clearance and mechanical fit but do not impact electrical performance.

Q: Why do Mill-Max 803 series parts have higher current ratings?

A: Mill-Max 803 series connectors are rated for 4.5A per contact, compared to the original specification which does not list a current rating. This reflects the beryllium copper contact material and design optimization for higher current applications. The original 68683-330 and TE Connectivity parts do not specify current ratings.

Q: Are there mating contact finish differences I should consider?

A: Yes. The original 68683-330 features gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin thickness). TE Connectivity 3-534206-0 and 8-534206-0 maintain this gold finish. Mill-Max 803-41, 803-91, and 803-93 series also feature gold mating contacts (10.0µin or 30.0µin thickness). Mill-Max 803-99 series parts feature tin-lead mating contacts. Contact finish selection affects corrosion resistance and signal integrity in high-frequency applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The original 68683-330 and TE Connectivity AMPMODU parts operate from -65°C to 125°C. Mill-Max 803 series parts operate from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use TE Connectivity variants.

Q: Which substitute offers the best RoHS compliance?

A: TE Connectivity 8-534206-0 and all Mill-Max 803 series variants except 803-93-060-10-002000 are ROHS3 compliant. The original 68683-330 is non-compliant. For new designs with regulatory requirements, select 8-534206-0 or any compliant 803 series variant.

Q: Do packaging differences affect my selection?

A: TE Connectivity parts are supplied in tube packaging, while Mill-Max 803 series parts are supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact component functionality or performance.
