Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 68710-134 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (30 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination capability (Press-Fit, Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 3M 3440-660T02TC meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 3440-660T02TC is a direct functional equivalent to the Amphenol ICC 68710-134. Key considerations for selection:

Product Status: The 3M part is active and in current production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete Amphenol ICC part.

Compliance: The 3M 3440-660T02TC is RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows, 30 positions), mounting type (through hole), and shrouding design (4-wall shrouded). Physical board layout compatibility is maintained.

Electrical Performance: Both parts carry identical contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) on mating surfaces and share the same flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The 3M part specifies a 1A current rating and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Material Differences: The 3M part uses copper alloy contacts versus phosphor bronze alloy in the original, and incorporates PCT in addition to polyester in the insulation material. These material variations do not affect functional substitution within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 3440-660T02TC be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68710-134?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (2.54mm), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through hole), shrouding design (4-wall), and termination methods (press-fit/solder). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from the Amphenol ICC 68710-134 to the 3M part?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68710-134 is classified as obsolete. The 3M 3440-660T02TC is an active product with current manufacturing support, ensuring reliable procurement and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3M 3440-660T02TC is RoHS compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 68710-134 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements should specify the 3M part.

Q: Do the contact materials differ, and does this affect performance?

A: The 3M part uses copper alloy contacts while the original uses phosphor bronze alloy. Both materials meet the specified contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) and flammability requirements (UL94 V-0). Functional performance within the defined electrical and mechanical parameters is equivalent.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 3M substitute?

A: The 3M 3440-660T02TC operates from -55°C to 105°C. The original part does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: Are there any package or inventory considerations?

A: The 3M 3440-660T02TC has 1020 pieces in current stock inventory, compared to 785 pieces for the obsolete Amphenol ICC part. The 3M part's active status supports ongoing availability.
