Amphenol ICC 68710-013 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68710-013 is a shrouded vertical header connector with 10 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-cable/wire applications. This component features a 2-row configuration with press-fit and solder termination options, gold-plated mating contacts, and phosphor bronze alloy construction. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 68710-013 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
Pitch and position configuration (0.100" / 2.54mm, 10 positions, 2 rows)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Termination capability (Press-Fit, Solder)
Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze Alloy, Gold plating)
Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyester Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 10080054-013LF meets all these criteria. Minor variations in contact length dimensions (mating contact: 0.234" vs. 0.230"; overall contact length: 0.629" vs. 0.625") remain within functional tolerance for standard board-to-cable/wire applications and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10080054-013LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68710-013. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support
RoHS compliance of the substitute part, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs
Equivalent UL94 V-0 flammability rating and moisture sensitivity classification
Minimal dimensional variation in contact length (0.004" / 0.10mm) that does not impact functional performance in standard through-hole board-to-cable/wire applications

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and production transitions from the obsolete model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10080054-013LF be used as a direct replacement for the 68710-013 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), shrouding style (4-wall), mounting method (through-hole), and contact specifications. The minor variation in mating contact length (0.004" difference) does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors or PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 68710-013 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 10080054-013LF is RoHS compliant. For new product designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part is required. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 68710-013 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 10080054-013LF is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do the contact length variations affect mating performance?

A: No. The mating contact length difference of 0.004" (0.10mm) and overall contact length difference of 0.004" (0.10mm) are within standard tolerance ranges for 2.54mm pitch header connectors and do not impact electrical contact or mechanical engagement with standard mating receptacles.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 68710-013 and 10080054-013LF are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and belong to the Quickie™ series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility.
