Amphenol ICC 68710-001 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68710-001 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component features a 10-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-cable/wire connections. The connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68710-001 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (10)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze Alloy)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Insulation material (Polyester, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 10080054-001LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all these parameters. Variations in contact length dimensions (mating and post) and overall contact length remain within acceptable tolerances for functional equivalence. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is obsolete and non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10080054-001LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68710-001. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Full electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across all critical connector specifications
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance alignment with current regulatory requirements
• Identical flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity classification
• Minimal dimensional variance in contact lengths (within 0.004" / 0.10mm tolerance)
• Identical pitch, row spacing, and shrouding configuration for direct board-level compatibility

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original 68710-001 was specified, provided that RoHS compliance requirements are met by the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10080054-001LF be used as a direct replacement for the 68710-001?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, shrouding, and material composition. The substitute is an active product with current manufacturing support.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 68710-001 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 10080054-001LF is active and RoHS compliant. Contact length dimensions vary slightly (0.230" vs. 0.234" for mating contact length), but remain functionally equivalent. The substitute also omits the mounting flange feature present on the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The original part number does not specify packaging, while the substitute (10080054-001LF) is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Does the substitute meet the same flammability and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for this substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in many markets. The substitute part's RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with current procurement standards and end-product regulatory requirements. The original part's non-compliance may restrict its use in applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use Phosphor Bronze Alloy contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the mating surface, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability.
