68046-621

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68046-621 is a DUBOX series board-to-board and mezzanine connector receptacle. It features a vertical orientation with 42 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and employs solder termination for PCB mounting. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 2 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 42-position vertical receptacle matches the target PCB footprint and stacking height requirements. Ensure the solder termination type aligns with the assembly process capabilities. Cross-reference the official datasheet for any recent product change notices affecting material specifications or packaging quantities.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertical interconnect solution is required for applications demanding 1 kV isolation. The 2.54 mm pitch offers standard spacing compatibility, while the gold contact finish supports frequent mating cycles. Consider the PPS housing material for thermal stability during reflow processes. Evaluate the 2 A current rating against the total load requirements of the circuit design to ensure adequate performance margins.
