Amphenol ICC 68762-136H Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68762-136H is an active-status vertical header connector designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This 36-position connector operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features a single-row, unshrouded configuration with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The connector is constructed with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold and housed in black UL94 V-0 rated insulation material. With 778 units currently in stock, this component serves as a standard interconnect solution for applications requiring reliable male pin header connectivity.

Substitute parts become necessary when addressing inventory constraints, design optimization requirements, or when alternative manufacturers' specifications better align with specific application parameters such as operating temperature range, contact material composition, or compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 68762-136H is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 3-826646-6 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch spacing, mounting methodology, and termination approach. Both are classified as active-status products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, confirming functional and environmental compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 68762-136H and TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 are active-status products with identical core connector specifications, making them functionally interchangeable for 36-position, 2.54mm-pitch through-hole header applications.

The TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 offers RoHS compliance, whereas the Amphenol ICC 68762-136H is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements specific to the end application. The TE Connectivity part additionally provides documented operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (5A) specifications, which may be relevant for thermal or power delivery considerations in specific designs.

Both connectors carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications and share MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, confirming equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 68762-136H in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 36-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specifications with matching through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed by matching connector type, contact configuration, and mounting methodology.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include contact material (phosphor bronze vs. brass), contact finish thickness on mating surfaces (30.0µin vs. 3.90µin), overall contact length (0.588" vs. 0.465"), insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.110"), and insulation color (black vs. green). The TE Connectivity part is RoHS compliant and provides specified operating temperature and current ratings, while the Amphenol ICC part does not document these parameters.

Q: Are there mechanical fit considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Slight dimensional variations exist. The TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 has a shorter overall contact length (0.465" vs. 0.588") and marginally taller insulation height (0.110" vs. 0.100"). These differences may affect mating depth and board clearance in space-constrained applications. Verify PCB layout compatibility before implementation.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 3-826646-6 is RoHS compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS directives. The Amphenol ICC 68762-136H is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in regulated environments.

Q: Do both connectors have identical moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and equivalent handling, storage, and reflow requirements.
