Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 68764-124HLF qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both parts are header connectors with identical male pin contact type
• Position Count & Pitch: Both feature 24 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Style: Both are through-hole, right-angle, board-to-board connectors
• Contact Material & Finish: Both use phosphor bronze with gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Insulation Properties: Both have 0.095" (2.41mm) insulation height with black insulation color
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements
• Termination Method: Both use solder termination with push-pull fastening

The primary distinction is product status: 68798-124HLF is obsolete while 68764-124HLF is active, with additional specifications provided for the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 68764-124HLF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 68798-124HLF. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications within the BERGSTIK® II series. The substitute part is currently in active production status with full compliance documentation.

Key considerations for selection:

• Product Availability: 68764-124HLF is active with 909 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete 68798-124HLF with limited remaining inventory of 724 pieces
• Compliance Status: 68764-124HLF provides documented RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and production
• Electrical Specifications: 68764-124HLF specifies 3A current rating and -65°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range, providing defined performance parameters for circuit design
• Contact Geometry Variation: Minor differences exist in contact length specifications (mating contact 0.110" vs 0.100", post length 0.230" vs 0.120"), which are within the same connector family design and do not affect board-level compatibility for standard applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 68798-124HLF and 68764-124HLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 24-position, 2.54mm pitch configurations with matching through-hole, right-angle mounting. The insulation height, contact material, and finish specifications are identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 68798-124HLF to 68764-124HLF?

A: The 68798-124HLF is classified as obsolete. The 68764-124HLF is the active equivalent part from Amphenol ICC, ensuring continued availability, production support, and compliance documentation for new designs and ongoing manufacturing.

Q: Do the contact length differences affect compatibility?

A: The contact length variations (mating contact 0.110" versus 0.100", and post length 0.230" versus 0.120") are design variations within the BERGSTIK® II connector family. These differences do not prevent mating or board-level functionality in standard applications where both parts are designed to interface with compatible receptacles.

Q: What compliance certifications does 68764-124HLF provide?

A: The 68764-124HLF is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Is the packaging difference significant?

A: The 68798-124HLF packaging is not specified, while 68764-124HLF is supplied in bag packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What current and temperature specifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 68764-124HLF is rated for 3A continuous current and operates across -65°C to 125°C temperature range. These specifications define the electrical operating envelope for circuit design applications.
