Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 68786-202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 2-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, open-top female socket design, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics, enabling direct functional replacement in jumper applications.

The primary substitute, 68786-202LF, is the manufacturer-recommended active equivalent from Amphenol ICC, differing only in RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant). The secondary substitutes, 382811-8 and 390088-1, are sourced from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain pitch, position count, and socket configuration while introducing minor variations in height and housing material composition.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the 68786-202, the 68786-202LF is the primary selection. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance, eliminating obsolescence risk and regulatory constraints.

The 382811-8 and 390088-1 serve as secondary alternatives when the primary substitute is unavailable. Both parts maintain the critical 2-position, 0.100" pitch, and open-top socket configuration. Selection between these alternatives depends on height tolerance requirements: the 382811-8 measures 0.250" (6.35mm) in height, while the 390088-1 measures 0.247" (6.27mm). Both exceed the original 0.200" (5.08mm) height specification and incorporate glass-filled polyester housing material. The 390088-1 provides contact finish thickness matching the original specification at 30.0µin (0.76µm), whereas the 382811-8 specifies 5.11µin (0.130µm).

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compliance with standard electronic assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68786-202LF be used as a direct replacement for the 68786-202?

A: Yes. The 68786-202LF maintains identical position count, pitch, height, contact finish, current rating, and flammability rating. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status, with the LF variant meeting RoHS requirements. Both parts are functionally equivalent for jumper applications.

Q: What are the height differences between substitute options?

A: The original 68786-202 and its primary substitute 68786-202LF both measure 0.200" (5.08mm) in height. The TE Connectivity alternatives measure taller: 382811-8 at 0.250" (6.35mm) and 390088-1 at 0.247" (6.27mm). Height variation may affect PCB layout compatibility and should be evaluated against available board space.

Q: Are there current rating differences between the substitutes?

A: The 68786-202 and 68786-202LF both specify 3A current rating. The TE Connectivity alternatives (382811-8 and 390088-1) do not provide explicit current rating specifications in available documentation. Applications requiring confirmed 3A rating should prioritize the Amphenol ICC options.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variation?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The 68786-202, 68786-202LF, and 390088-1 all specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 382811-8 specifies 5.11µin (0.130µm), representing reduced plating thickness. For applications with frequent mating cycles, the thicker finish options provide extended contact life.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same flammability and moisture sensitivity standards?

A: Yes. All listed parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring equivalent performance in standard electronic assembly environments.

Q: What housing material differences exist between options?

A: The 68786-202 and 68786-202LF use polyester housing. The TE Connectivity alternatives (382811-8 and 390088-1) use polyester with glass filler, providing enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability.
