Amphenol ICC 68685-307 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68685-307 is a 7-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, with a rated voltage of 1000V and operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68685-307 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 7 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Electrical Performance: Operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and voltage rating of 1000V
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze contacts with appropriate plating specifications

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 146138-5 meets these core substitution criteria as a 7-position receptacle connector with identical pitch, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both connectors operate within the same temperature range and share phosphor bronze contact material construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 146138-5 serves as a functional equivalent for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 68685-307. Both connectors share identical core specifications for position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement and new applications.

Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Moisture sensitivity levels are equivalent at MSL 1 (Unlimited). The primary differences in contact finish specifications (tin versus tin-lead post plating) and insulation material composition (polyester glass-filled versus polyphenylene sulfide) do not preclude functional substitution within the defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 146138-5 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68685-307 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (7), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Operating temperature ranges and contact material composition are equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Contact finish on posts—68685-307 uses tin plating while 146138-5 uses tin-lead plating; (2) Insulation material—68685-307 uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) while 146138-5 uses polyester glass-filled material; (3) Contact finish thickness on mating surfaces differs slightly; (4) Insulation height varies by 0.011" (0.27mm).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. REACH status differs—68685-307 is REACH Affected while 146138-5 is Vendor Undefined. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68685-307 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 146138-5 is in active production status with current inventory availability.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: The 68685-307 specifies a 1000V voltage rating. The 146138-5 specifies a 2A current rating. Both operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. These specifications address different aspects of electrical performance and do not indicate incompatibility.
