Amphenol ICC 68710-139 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68710-139 is a shrouded vertical header connector with 30 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole connector features press-fit and solder termination options, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 68710-139 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector geometry: 30-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination capability
• Shrouding configuration: 4-wall shrouded design
• Contact specifications: Male pin contacts with phosphor bronze alloy material and gold mating finish
• Insulation properties: Polyester glass-filled material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series compatibility: Quickie™ series designation

The substitute part 10080054-139LF maintains functional and mechanical equivalence across all these parameters, with documented differences limited to minor contact length variations and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10080054-139LF serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 68710-139. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The original 68710-139 is obsolete, while 10080054-139LF maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Alignment: The substitute part achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability certification and EAR99 export classification.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: Contact length variations between the parts (0.230" versus 0.234" mating length, and 0.625" versus 0.629" overall length) fall within acceptable tolerances for through-hole header applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging format. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but should be evaluated for assembly line integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 68710-139 and 10080054-139LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows, 30 positions), mounting type (through-hole), shrouding design (4-wall), and termination methods (press-fit and solder). Contact length differences of 0.004" (0.10mm) on mating length and 0.004" (0.10mm) on overall length are within standard tolerances for header connector applications.

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

A: The original 68710-139 is RoHS non-compliant, while 10080054-139LF is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments), the substitute part satisfies compliance requirements. For legacy systems without RoHS mandates, both parts function identically.

Q: Does the packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. The substitute part's tray packaging is a logistics consideration only and does not alter electrical, mechanical, or thermal performance. Packaging format may impact assembly automation compatibility and should be evaluated against specific production line requirements.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use phosphor bronze alloy contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold mating finish. Contact material composition and surface treatment are equivalent.

Q: What is the REACH status difference between these parts?

A: The original 68710-139 is REACH Unaffected, while 10080054-139LF is REACH Affected. For applications in REACH-regulated markets, the substitute part's REACH Affected status requires compliance verification with applicable substance restrictions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided for either part. Thermal performance must be evaluated through application-specific testing or consultation with Amphenol ICC technical documentation.
