Amphenol ICC 68705-402H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68705-402H is a rectangular connector header in the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for through-hole mounting with 2 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector features male pins with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts, rated for 5A at 110V, and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives from active product lines that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (2), number of rows (1), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). All substitute parts must maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Secondary parameters including contact finish, contact length, insulation material, and operating temperature range may vary between substitutes without affecting basic functional compatibility, though these variations should be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement of the 68705-402H. The primary distinction between substitutes is product status and regulatory compliance.

The Amphenol ICC 68705-402HLF is the direct manufacturer upgrade from the obsolete 68705-402H, offering identical specifications with active product status and RoHS compliance. This represents the preferred substitution path for applications requiring minimal design validation.

Samtec HTSW series connectors (HTSW-102-07-S-S, HTSW-102-08-F-S, HTSW-102-08-L-S, HTSW-102-08-S-S, HTSW-102-22-S-S, HTSW-102-23-G-S) provide extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C) and gold-plated mating contacts, with ROHS3 compliance. These variants differ in contact post length and finish specifications, allowing selection based on specific application thermal and environmental requirements.

The Molex 0423752486 (KK254 series) and 3M 929450-01-02-I offer alternative manufacturer options with active product status and full compliance certifications. The Samtec HTS-102-T-AA provides a high-temperature variant with tin finish contacts.

For applications with RoHS compliance requirements, all substitutes except the original 68705-402H meet current regulatory standards. For applications requiring extended temperature operation beyond standard specifications, Samtec HTSW series parts are specified to -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68705-402H be directly replaced with the 68705-402HLF?

A: Yes. The 68705-402HLF is the direct successor from Amphenol ICC with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. No design changes are required.

Q: What are the key differences between Samtec HTSW variants?

A: Samtec HTSW-102 series variants differ in contact post length: HTSW-102-07-S-S (0.100"), HTSW-102-08-F-S/L-S/S-S (0.200"), and HTSW-102-22-S-S (0.300"). Contact finish also varies: tin (HTS-102-T-AA), gold with tin post (HTSW-102-08 variants), or gold with gold post (HTSW-102-23-G-S). All maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 2-position configuration.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes?

A: The original 68705-402H is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitutes (68705-402HLF, Molex 0423752486, 3M 929450-01-02-I, and all Samtec variants) are RoHS compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any active substitute is acceptable.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Samtec HTSW series connectors are specified for -55°C to 125°C operation, compared to 3M 929450-01-02-I at -40°C to 105°C. The original 68705-402H and Amphenol 68705-402HLF do not specify operating temperature limits.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same contact finish?

A: No. The original 68705-402H uses tin-plated contacts. Samtec HTSW series uses gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts (except HTSW-102-23-G-S which uses gold posts). Molex 0423752486 uses gold mating contacts with tin posts. 3M 929450-01-02-I uses gold finish on both mating and post contacts. Contact finish selection should align with application requirements for corrosion resistance and contact reliability.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for substitution?

A: Packaging format (bulk, bag, tape) affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. All substitutes are functionally equivalent regardless of packaging format.
