Amphenol ICC 68786-302 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 68786-302 is a 2-position (1 x 2) low-profile shunt connector from the Mini-Jump™ series, designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This connector features an open-top design with female sockets, tin contact finish, and a current rating of 3A. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 68786-302 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Number of Positions & Grid Configuration: Must be 2 (1 x 2)
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Type: Must be Open Top
• Gender: Must be Female Sockets
• Contact Finish: Tin or Tin-Lead acceptable
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 3A or be unspecified (not limiting)
• Mechanical Height: Tolerance range 0.200" to 0.250" (5.08mm to 6.35mm)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. 68786-302LF (Amphenol ICC) — Direct manufacturer upgrade with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, RoHS compliant
2. 382811-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) — Cross-manufacturer alternative with compatible pitch, position count, and contact configuration

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 68786-302LF

The 68786-302LF is the recommended direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 68786-302, including pitch, position count, height, and current rating. The primary advantage is active product status and RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and long-term availability. Both parts are supplied by the same manufacturer (Amphenol ICC) and belong to the same Mini-Jump™ series, ensuring design continuity.

Secondary Substitute: 382811-5

The 382811-5 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a compatible cross-manufacturer alternative. It maintains the critical electrical parameters: 2-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, open-top design, and female socket gender. The mechanical height is 0.250" (6.35mm), which is 0.050" (1.27mm) taller than the original part. This height difference must be evaluated against available PCB clearance and mechanical constraints in the application. The contact finish is Tin-Lead rather than pure Tin. The part is active and available in strip packaging.

Selection between these substitutes depends on:

• RoHS compliance requirements (68786-302LF is compliant; 382811-5 is not)
• Mechanical height constraints (68786-302LF maintains original height; 382811-5 is taller)
• Packaging requirements (68786-302LF supplied in bulk; 382811-5 supplied in strip)
• Supplier availability and lead time

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 68786-302LF be used as a direct replacement for the 68786-302?

A: Yes. The 68786-302LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 68786-302. Both parts have the same pitch (0.100"), position count (2), height (0.200"), contact finish (Tin), and current rating (3A). The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance. The "LF" designation indicates a lead-free or RoHS-compliant variant.

Q: What is the main limitation of using the 382811-5 as a substitute?

A: The 382811-5 has a mechanical height of 0.250" (6.35mm) compared to the original 0.200" (5.08mm). This 0.050" (1.27mm) height difference must be verified against available clearance on the PCB and in the mechanical assembly. If vertical space is constrained, this part may not be suitable.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 68786-302LF is RoHS compliant, while both the original 68786-302 and the 382811-5 are RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 68786-302LF is the only suitable option among these three parts.

Q: Does the contact finish difference between Tin and Tin-Lead affect compatibility?

A: Both Tin and Tin-Lead finishes are acceptable for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch shunt connectors. The contact finish thickness is identical (100.0µin / 2.54µm) across all three parts. The choice between Tin and Tin-Lead is determined by soldering process requirements and environmental specifications, not by electrical compatibility.

Q: What packaging considerations should be evaluated?

A: The 68786-302 and 68786-302LF are supplied in bulk packaging, while the 382811-5 is supplied in strip packaging. Bulk packaging is typically used for high-volume applications, while strip packaging is common for component kits and lower-volume orders. Verify that the packaging format aligns with procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Can the 382811-5 be used if the 68786-302LF is unavailable?

A: The 382811-5 is a functional alternative if mechanical height constraints are acceptable. Verify that the 0.050" (1.27mm) height difference does not conflict with PCB layout or mechanical assembly requirements. Additionally, confirm that RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application.
