Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

68683-404LF (Amphenol ICC - Primary Part)

Use this part when tin contact finish is specified or preferred. The part is RoHS Compliant with active production status. Operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and 1000V voltage rating are documented. Suitable for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications.

215307-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors - Substitute)

This part provides gold-plated contacts as an alternative to tin finish. ROHS3 Compliant status indicates updated regulatory alignment. Higher inventory availability (8643 units) supports supply chain flexibility. Tray packaging differs from tube packaging of the main part. Operating temperature and voltage ratings are not specified in available data. Kinked pin termination option provides alternative mechanical retention.

803-43-008-10-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. - Substitute)

This part features gold-plated contacts with beryllium copper contact material and circular contact geometry, differing from the square phosphor bronze contacts of the main part. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C meets the upper temperature requirement but has a higher minimum temperature limit. ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status. Current rating of 4.5A is specified. Tube packaging matches the main part format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 215307-4 directly replace 68683-404LF in all applications?

A: The 215307-4 maintains pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and fastening type compatibility. The primary difference is gold contact finish versus tin. Operating temperature and voltage ratings are not specified for the 215307-4, so verification against application requirements is necessary. Tray packaging differs from tube packaging.

Q: What is the key difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: The 68683-404LF uses tin plating (100.0µin thickness), while both substitute parts use gold plating (30.0-31.5µin thickness). Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance, contact resistance, and environmental exposure.

Q: Is 803-43-008-10-001000 suitable for applications requiring -65°C operation?

A: The 803-43-008-10-001000 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The main part 68683-404LF operates to -65°C. For applications requiring -65°C operation, the 803-43-008-10-001000 does not meet the lower temperature specification.

Q: How do contact materials differ between these parts?

A: The 68683-404LF and 215307-4 use phosphor bronze contacts. The 803-43-008-10-001000 uses beryllium copper contacts. Contact material affects electrical properties, mechanical durability, and cost. Beryllium copper provides higher spring force and contact reliability in some applications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: The 68683-404LF and 803-43-008-10-001000 are supplied in tube packaging. The 215307-4 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 68683-404LF is RoHS Compliant. Both 215307-4 and 803-43-008-10-001000 are ROHS3 Compliant, indicating compliance with updated RoHS regulations. All three parts meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What voltage rating applies to the substitute parts?

A: The 68683-404LF specifies 1000V voltage rating. Voltage ratings are not specified for 215307-4 or 803-43-008-10-001000. Application voltage requirements must be verified against manufacturer datasheets for these substitute parts.
