Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68683-605 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• 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
• Contact finish - mating: Gold

All three substitute parts meet these primary criteria. Secondary parameters such as insulation height, contact length, contact material, and flammability rating may vary within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board applications. Variations in these parameters do not prevent functional substitution but may affect mechanical fit, thermal performance, or compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5-534206-5 (AMPMODU Mod II)

This substitute is recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance. The part maintains identical mating pitch, row spacing, and contact geometry as the 68683-605. Insulation height is 0.044" (1.13mm) greater, which may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained designs. UL94 V-0 flammability rating and -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range match the original specification. Current rating of 2A is specified, providing defined electrical performance.

TE Connectivity 534998-5 (AMPMODU Mod IV)

This substitute is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. The part exhibits the lowest insulation height at 0.265" (6.73mm), making it advantageous for compact board designs. Contact length is 0.010" (0.25mm) longer than the original, which may affect mating force characteristics. REACH Affected status indicates regulatory tracking requirements. Current rating of 2A is specified.

Mill-Max 803-93-010-10-001000

This substitute offers the highest current rating at 4.5A and ROHS3 compliance. Contact material differs from the original, utilizing beryllium copper instead of phosphor bronze, providing enhanced spring characteristics. Operating temperature minimum is -55°C, which is 10°C higher than the original specification. Contact shape is circular rather than square. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity and enhanced compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-534206-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68683-605?

A: Yes, the 5-534206-5 is functionally compatible. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (10), and fastening type (push-pull). The primary difference is insulation height, which is 0.044" greater on the TE part. Verify PCB layout clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: RoHS compliance indicates restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The 68683-605 and 534998-5 are RoHS non-compliant, while 5-534206-5 is RoHS Compliant and 803-93-010-10-001000 is ROHS3 Compliant. Selection depends on end-product regulatory requirements and target markets.

Q: Does the contact material difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The 68683-605, 5-534206-5, and 534998-5 use phosphor bronze contacts, while the 803-93-010-10-001000 uses beryllium copper. Both materials are suitable for 0.100" pitch connectors. Beryllium copper provides superior spring characteristics and higher current capacity (4.5A vs. 2A). Contact material selection does not prevent substitution but affects electrical performance and mechanical durability.

Q: Are there mechanical fit concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Insulation height and contact length variations may affect mechanical fit. The 5-534206-5 has 0.044" greater insulation height; the 534998-5 has 0.010" longer contact posts; the 803-93-010-10-001000 has 0.003" longer contact posts. Verify mating connector specifications and PCB hole depth before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for high-temperature applications?

A: All substitute parts support the -65°C to 125°C operating range except the 803-93-010-10-001000, which operates from -55°C to 125°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C minimum temperature, select either the 5-534206-5 or 534998-5.

Q: What is the inventory availability for each substitute?

A: Current inventory levels are: 68683-605 (697 units), 5-534206-5 (2200 units), 534998-5 (1768 units), and 803-93-010-10-001000 (815 units). The TE Connectivity 5-534206-5 offers the highest availability.
