Amphenol ICC 68759-272 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68759-272 is a rectangular connector header featuring a right-angle, through-hole configuration with 72 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector is designed for board-to-board applications requiring male pin contacts with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 711 units in stock. Alternative components may be required due to supply constraints, design optimization, or specific application requirements for enhanced compliance or operating temperature specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 68759-272 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (72) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder) and fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact shape (Square) and shrouding status (Unshrouded)
• Style classification (Board to Board or Board to Board/Cable compatible)
• Material flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The Würth Elektronik 61307221021 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact material composition, and additional certifications do not preclude functional equivalence when these core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 61307221021 is a direct functional equivalent to the Amphenol ICC 68759-272 based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part offers enhanced compliance posture with ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, compared to the RoHS non-compliant status of the primary part. The substitute provides defined operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), current rating (3A), and voltage rating (250V), which are not specified for the primary part. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and identical connector geometry for board-to-board applications. The Würth Elektronik part supports both board-to-board and cable configurations, providing expanded application flexibility. Contact length variations (0.275" vs. 0.236" mating contact length) and insulation height differences (0.190" vs. 0.200") are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB mounting and mating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 61307221021 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 68759-272?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, mounting method, and termination approach. The core mechanical and electrical parameters required for board-to-board connectivity are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences in contact length between these parts?

A: The Amphenol part features 0.275" (6.99mm) mating contact length, while the Würth Elektronik part has 0.236" (6.00mm). This 0.039" difference is within standard PCB mounting tolerances and does not affect functional compatibility for typical through-hole applications.

Q: Does the Würth Elektronik substitute offer better compliance?

A: The Würth Elektronik 61307221021 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the Amphenol part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring regulatory compliance, the substitute provides improved certification status.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: The Amphenol part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the Würth Elektronik part uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials with gold plating provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mating performance for standard connector applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The Amphenol part does not specify an operating temperature range. The Würth Elektronik substitute operates from -40°C to 105°C, providing defined thermal performance for temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik part be used in cable applications?

A: Yes. The Würth Elektronik 61307221021 supports both board-to-board and cable configurations, whereas the Amphenol part is specified for board-to-board style only. This provides additional application flexibility with the substitute.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The Amphenol part has 711 units in stock, while the Würth Elektronik substitute has 1041 units available, providing improved supply availability.
