Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68685-336LF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
Electrical Performance: Operating temperature range and voltage rating compatibility
Compliance & Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 801-93-036-10-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) meets these core substitution criteria. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain RoHS compliance, ensuring functional and regulatory equivalence in board-to-board connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 68685-336LF and 801-93-036-10-001000 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 68685-336LF operates across a wider temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) compared to the Mill-Max substitute (-55°C to 125°C). Selection between these parts should be based on specific application temperature requirements. The 68685-336LF is recommended for applications requiring the extended lower temperature limit of -65°C. The 801-93-036-10-001000 is suitable for applications within the -55°C to 125°C range. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, pitch, position count, and solder termination specifications, ensuring PCB layout and assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 801-93-036-10-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the 68685-336LF?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. Both connectors share identical position count (36), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). PCB footprints and assembly processes are compatible.

Q: What is the key difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary difference is the operating temperature range. The 68685-336LF operates from -65°C to 125°C, while the 801-93-036-10-001000 operates from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use the 68685-336LF.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 68685-336LF is RoHS Compliant, and the 801-93-036-10-001000 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: Do these connectors have the same contact finish specifications?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 68685-336LF specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish, while the 801-93-036-10-001000 specifies standard gold finish. Both are suitable for standard board-to-board interconnection applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both connectors have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
