Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 69168-608 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (8 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 829538-4 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.
