Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DX10BM-68S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 68
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Connector Style: Outer Shroud Contacts
• Type: Miniature High Density (HD)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Flange Feature: Mating Side, Female Screwlock (M2.6)
• Contact Finish: Gold

The substitute part DX10BM-68S(50) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number, with the primary distinction being product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging configuration (Tray vs. unspecified).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DX10BM-68S(50) is the direct functional equivalent to the DX10BM-68S. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary advantages of DX10BM-68S(50) are its Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. The DX10BM-68S remains available in inventory (752 pcs) but is classified as obsolete and does not meet RoHS requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term supply assurance, DX10BM-68S(50) is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DX10BM-68S and DX10BM-68S(50) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 68-position miniature high-density receptacle connectors with identical pin configurations, mounting specifications, termination methods, and contact finishes. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between DX10BM-68S and DX10BM-68S(50)?

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. compliant), and packaging (unspecified vs. Tray). The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why should I select DX10BM-68S(50) over DX10BM-68S?

A: DX10BM-68S(50) is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, providing better long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The DX10BM-68S is obsolete and does not meet RoHS requirements.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. DX10BM-68S(50) is supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for production quantities and does not impact connector functionality or pin configuration.

Q: Are there any compatibility considerations when substituting DX10BM-68S with DX10BM-68S(50)?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both connectors maintain identical mating interfaces, pin assignments, and mechanical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.
