Amphenol ICC 75168-313-13 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75168-313-13 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header from the BERGSTIK® series, designed for board-to-board applications with 13 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 75168-313-13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 13 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Board Interface Style: Board-to-board connectivity
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape
• Insulation Properties: Thermoplastic material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the Amphenol ICC 75168-313-13LF (direct manufacturer upgrade) and the 3M 929835-01-13 (alternative manufacturer equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 75168-313-13LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 75168-313-13. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the same BERGSTIK® series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 75168-313-13LF is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (881 pcs vs. 710 pcs). The primary difference is RoHS compliance: the 75168-313-13LF meets RoHS standards with a tin contact finish, while the original part uses tin-lead finish and is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 75168-313-13LF is the direct replacement.

3M 929835-01-13 serves as an alternative manufacturer equivalent when Amphenol ICC parts are unavailable. This part maintains the same 13-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and board-to-board through-hole right-angle mounting. The 929835-01-13 is an active product with documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (2.5A). Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height, and the insulation material differs (PBT glass-filled polyester vs. thermoplastic). The 929835-01-13 features breakaway capability and is RoHS non-compliant, matching the original part's compliance status.

Selection between these substitutes depends on compliance requirements and design constraints. For RoHS-compliant applications, use 75168-313-13LF. For applications requiring alternative manufacturer sourcing or specific operating temperature documentation, use 929835-01-13.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75168-313-13LF directly replace the obsolete 75168-313-13 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. The 75168-313-13LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and mounting orientation. No PCB layout changes are required. The primary difference is RoHS compliance and contact finish composition.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in 75168-313-13LF?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free contact finish (tin instead of tin-lead) and RoHS compliance. This part meets current environmental and regulatory standards while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original part.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the Amphenol ICC and 3M substitutes?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 3M 929835-01-13 has a slightly longer mating contact length (0.235" vs. 0.225") and shorter post length (0.110" vs. 0.136"), with a marginally taller insulation height (0.115" vs. 0.110"). These differences may affect board-to-board spacing in tight layouts. Verify PCB clearances before substitution.

Q: Does the 3M 929835-01-13 breakaway feature affect compatibility?

A: The breakaway feature is an additional capability that does not compromise compatibility. The connector maintains the same mating interface and electrical characteristics. Breakaway functionality is optional and does not interfere with standard board-to-board operation.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the Amphenol ICC 75168-313-13LF is recommended as the primary choice due to active production status, RoHS compliance, and direct specification equivalence. The 3M 929835-01-13 is suitable as a secondary source when Amphenol ICC availability is constrained.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the substitutes?

A: Both substitutes carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The 75168-313-13LF is RoHS compliant; the 929835-01-13 is RoHS non-compliant. The 929835-01-13 provides documented operating temperature range and current rating specifications, while the original and 75168-313-13LF do not specify these parameters.
