Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution for the 68685-316 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Connector type (Receptacle)
- Number of positions (16)
- Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
- Contact type (Female Socket)
- Mounting method (Through Hole)
- Termination type (Solder)
- Contact finish on mating surface (Gold or Gold, GXT™)
- Voltage rating (1000V)
- Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C)
- Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
- Insulation material (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
The 68685-316LF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.
