Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 68683-407 are qualified based on the following core parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 14
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin or Gold (both acceptable for board-to-board connectivity)
• Insulation Material: PPS, Polyester, or LCP (all glass-filled, UL94 V-0 rated)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to -65°C minimum acceptable
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze or Beryllium Copper
• Current Rating: Variations acceptable when application requirements are met

All identified substitutes maintain the 14-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and through-hole solder termination required for direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliance Requirements: Select TE Connectivity 5-534206-7, Preci-Dip 803-87-014-10-001101, or any Samtec BCS-107 variant. All substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification, whereas the main part 68683-407 is RoHS non-compliant.

For Extended Low-Temperature Operation: The main part 68683-407 supports -65°C minimum operating temperature. Substitute parts support -55°C minimum. Select the main part if applications require operation below -55°C.

For Gold Contact Finish: All substitute parts feature gold mating contact finish compared to tin on the main part. Gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in high-reliability applications.

For Samtec Tiger Claw Series: BCS-107-L-D-DE, BCS-107-L-D-TE-003, and BCS-107-LM-D-TE offer higher current ratings (4.6A per contact) and higher voltage rating (475VAC) compared to the main part. These are suitable for higher-power applications.

For TE Connectivity AMPMODU Series: 5-534206-7 provides 2A current rating and maintains compatibility with board-to-board or cable applications.

For Preci-Dip 803 Series: 803-87-014-10-001101 features beryllium copper contacts and 3A current rating, with flash gold plating on mating contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 68683-407 with a gold-plated version? A: Yes. All identified substitute parts feature gold mating contact finish while maintaining the same 14-position, 0.100" pitch configuration. Gold finish is compatible with tin-plated mating pins and provides superior corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec BCS-107 variants? A: BCS-107-L-D-DE supports bottom or top entry configuration. BCS-107-L-D-TE-003 has 13 positions loaded instead of 14. BCS-107-LM-D-TE has all 14 positions loaded. All three share identical electrical ratings and operating temperature range.

Q: Is the 68683-407 suitable for RoHS-regulated applications? A: No. The 68683-407 is RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-regulated applications, use 5-534206-7, 803-87-014-10-001101, or any Samtec BCS-107 variant, all of which carry RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the minimum operating temperature difference between the main part and substitutes? A: The main part operates to -65°C minimum, while all substitutes operate to -55°C minimum. This 10°C difference is significant only for applications requiring operation below -55°C.

Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in existing designs? A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across all parts due to identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and fastening type. Verify contact finish compatibility with mating pins and confirm compliance requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the current rating differences? A: The main part 68683-407 does not specify current rating. Substitute parts range from 2A (TE Connectivity) to 4.6A per contact (Samtec). Select based on application current requirements.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging? A: No. The main part and most substitutes are packaged in tubes. Preci-Dip 803-87-014-10-001101 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.
