Amphenol ICC 68683-405LF Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68683-405LF is a 10-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector features tin contact finish and is rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 125°C. The product is active and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, specific application requirements, or design revisions that permit alternative contact finishes or mechanical configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68683-405LF is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all alternatives:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 10
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact finish (tin versus gold), insulation material composition, contact shape, contact material, and post finish are permitted within the scope of equivalent substitution, provided the electrical and mechanical interface requirements remain satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors maintain active product status and satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with MSL 1 rating. The 68683-405LF and 5-534206-5 both support the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, while the 803-93-010-10-001000 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Selection between these parts should account for application-specific temperature requirements.

The 68683-405LF features tin contact finish with 1000V voltage rating specification. The 5-534206-5 provides gold contact finish with 2A current rating and is RoHS compliant. The 803-93-010-10-001000 offers gold contact finish with higher current rating of 4.5A and ROHS3 compliance, though it features circular contact geometry and Tin-Lead post finish compared to the square tin contacts of the primary part.

All three connectors are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The 68683-405LF and 803-93-010-10-001000 carry REACH Unaffected status, while the 5-534206-5 shows Vendor Undefined REACH status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-534206-5 directly replace the 68683-405LF?

A: The 5-534206-5 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters: 10 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary difference is gold contact finish versus tin, and polyester insulation material versus PPS. Both operate across -65°C to 125°C and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Compatibility depends on application-specific contact finish requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between the 803-93-010-10-001000 and the primary part?

A: The 803-93-010-10-001000 maintains the same 10-position, 0.100" pitch, 2-row through-hole configuration. Differences include circular contact geometry versus square, beryllium copper contact material versus phosphor bronze, gold mating finish versus tin, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C versus -65°C to 125°C. Current rating is specified at 4.5A compared to unspecified for the primary part.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these substitutes?

A: All three connectors are supplied in tube packaging. The 68683-405LF has 839 pieces in stock, the 5-534206-5 has 2200 pieces, and the 803-93-010-10-001000 has 815 pieces available.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: All three connectors are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The 68683-405LF and 803-93-010-10-001000 are REACH Unaffected, while the 5-534206-5 shows Vendor Undefined REACH status. All meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences?

A: The 68683-405LF uses tin contact finish with 100.0µin thickness. The 5-534206-5 and 803-93-010-10-001000 use gold contact finish with 30.0µin thickness. Contact finish selection affects corrosion resistance, contact resistance, and long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions. Application requirements determine acceptable finish specifications.
