Amphenol ICC 68710-850 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68710-850 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features 50 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-cable/wire interconnections. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC 10080054-850LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the 68710-850 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (50 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact material and finish specification (Phosphor Bronze Alloy, Gold plated)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyester Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Functional Equivalence: The 10080054-850LF maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 68710-850 across all critical mating and mounting interfaces. Minor dimensional variations in contact length (0.234" vs 0.230" mating contact length) and insulation height remain within acceptable tolerance ranges for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC 10080054-850LF is the active equivalent for the obsolete 68710-850. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The original 68710-850 is classified as obsolete. The 10080054-850LF maintains active product status with full manufacturer support and availability.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement cycles. Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: All critical mating and mounting parameters are identical or functionally equivalent. The minor dimensional variation in mating contact length (0.004" difference) falls within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect connector performance in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10080054-850LF directly replace the 68710-850 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, and shrouding configuration. All mating and mounting interfaces are compatible. The minor variation in mating contact length (0.004") is within standard tolerance ranges for through-hole applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 68710-850 is obsolete, while the 10080054-850LF is an active product. The substitute achieves RoHS compliance and is available through current distribution channels. Insulation color differs (blue vs. gray), but this is a cosmetic distinction with no functional impact.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching to the substitute part?

A: The 10080054-850LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the original 68710-850 is not. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the substitute part satisfies this requirement. Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The original part packaging is not specified in the data provided. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your assembly and procurement processes.

Q: Are the electrical and mechanical specifications identical?

A: All critical electrical and mechanical specifications are identical or functionally equivalent. Contact material, finish, pitch spacing, row configuration, and mounting type are unchanged. Contact length dimensions vary by 0.004" on the mating side, which does not affect standard through-hole PCB compatibility.
