Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the core mechanical and electrical requirements for 36-position, 2.54mm-pitch header connectors. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance: The 68735-136H is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts (929705-06-36-I, PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Contact Finish: The 68735-136H features gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish. The 929705-06-36-I maintains gold finish compatibility. The PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, and PEC36SFCN offer tin mating contact finish, which is suitable for applications where gold plating is not required.

Post Length Variation: Contact post lengths vary significantly across substitutes (0.120" to 0.710"), affecting PCB stack-up and board thickness compatibility. The 68735-136H post length is 0.520" (13.21mm). Select substitutes based on specific PCB assembly requirements.

Operating Temperature Range: The 68735-136H does not specify an operating temperature range. Substitute parts provide defined ranges: 929705-06-36-I (-40°C to 105°C) and Sullins parts (-65°C to 125°C), enabling selection for temperature-critical applications.

Current Rating: The 68735-136H does not specify current rating. Substitute parts provide ratings of 2.5A (929705-06-36-I) or 3A (Sullins parts), supporting applications requiring defined electrical performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929705-06-36-I directly replace the 68735-136H?

A: The 929705-06-36-I meets all core substitution criteria: 36 positions, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, unshrouded design, and UL94 V-0 rating. However, the contact post length differs (0.710" vs. 0.520"), which may affect PCB stack-up. Verify board thickness compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between PBC36SFAN and PEC36SFAN?

A: Both parts are Sullins 36-position headers with identical mating contact length (0.318"), post length (0.120"), and overall contact length (0.538"). The primary difference is contact finish: PBC36SFAN features gold mating contact finish, while PEC36SFAN features tin mating contact finish. Both maintain phosphor bronze contact material and identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C).

Q: How does PEC36SFCN differ from PEC36SFAN?

A: Both are Sullins parts with tin contact finish and phosphor bronze material. The key difference is post length: PEC36SFCN has 0.320" (8.13mm) post length compared to PEC36SFAN's 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, resulting in overall contact lengths of 0.738" and 0.538" respectively. Select based on PCB assembly requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 68735-136H is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts—929705-06-36-I (RoHS Compliant), PBC36SFAN (ROHS3 Compliant), PEC36SFAN (ROHS3 Compliant), and PEC36SFCN (ROHS3 Compliant)—meet RoHS requirements, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: Current inventory includes: 68735-136H (829 units), 929705-06-36-I (1268 units), PBC36SFAN (4272 units), PEC36SFAN (6328 units), and PEC36SFCN (1391 units). PEC36SFAN offers the highest availability.

Q: Can these connectors be used for board-to-cable applications?

A: The 68735-136H is specified for board-to-board style. The substitute parts from Sullins (PBC36SFAN, PEC36SFAN, PEC36SFCN) support both board-to-board and board-to-cable configurations, providing additional application flexibility.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature on substitute parts?

A: The 929705-06-36-I and all Sullins substitute parts include breakaway functionality, allowing individual positions to be separated if required. The 68735-136H does not specify this feature. This does not prevent substitution but provides additional design flexibility in applications requiring partial connector configurations.
