Amphenol ICC 75168-313-36 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 75168-313-36 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle mounted, with 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole component is designed for board-to-board connections with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 75168-313-36 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Position count: 36 positions in single row configuration
• Mounting method: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination: Solder connection
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull engagement
• Contact geometry: Square pin profile
• Shrouding: Unshrouded design
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The 3M 929648-04-36-I meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact finish, contact length specifications, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range do not preclude functional substitution when these core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 929648-04-36-I is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 75168-313-36. Both components share identical core specifications: 36-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole, right-angle header with male pins, solder termination, and push-pull fastening.

The 3M substitute offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The 929648-04-36-I is RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height specifications. The 3M part features gold-plated mating contacts compared to the tin-lead finish of the original, and uses glass-filled PBT insulation material versus thermoplastic. These material differences do not compromise functional compatibility for standard board-to-board connection applications.

Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. The 3M part provides specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (2.5A), parameters not documented for the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 929648-04-36-I directly replace the Amphenol ICC 75168-313-36 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), mounting method (through-hole right-angle), termination type (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The core mechanical and electrical interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences in contact specifications between these parts?

A: The mating contact length differs by 0.010" (0.25mm), with the 3M part measuring 0.235" versus 0.225" for the original. Post contact length is shorter on the 3M part at 0.110" compared to 0.136". Insulation height varies by 0.005" (0.13mm). These dimensional variations are within typical connector tolerance ranges and do not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Does the change from tin-lead to gold plating affect performance?

A: Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin-lead finish. This represents an improvement in long-term contact performance and environmental durability.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The original 75168-313-36 is RoHS non-compliant due to tin-lead contact plating. The 3M 929648-04-36-I is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 3M substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The original part packaging information is not specified. The 3M 929648-04-36-I is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What is the breakaway feature on the 3M part?

A: The 3M 929 series header includes a breakaway design, allowing individual pins or pin groups to be separated if required. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors.
