The identified substitute parts (67997-102HLF and 69192-202HLF) from Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® II series maintain all critical matching parameters while offering alternative contact materials, finish specifications, and packaging options suitable for equivalent board-to-board interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector options maintain active product status and comply with RoHS and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance for automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general purpose applications.

Molex 0879140211 remains the primary specification when original series continuity and copper alloy contact material are required. Current inventory of 1,162 pieces supports immediate procurement.

Amphenol ICC 67997-102HLF provides equivalent functionality with phosphor bronze contacts and gold or GXT™ finish options. Bag packaging and 17,439-piece inventory availability support high-volume requirements. Operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C and 3A current rating are specified for this variant.

Amphenol ICC 69192-202HLF offers kinked pin termination in addition to solder termination, providing enhanced mechanical retention for through-hole applications. Bulk packaging and 6,281-piece inventory support cost-optimized procurement. Operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C and 3A current rating match the 67997-102HLF specification.

Selection between substitute parts depends on packaging requirements, contact material preference, and termination method compatibility with PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II connectors directly replace Molex C-Grid 87914 headers?

A: Yes. The 67997-102HLF and 69192-202HLF maintain identical mating geometry, row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Both are unshrouded, 2-position, 2-row configurations with square contacts and UL94 V-0 insulation material.

Q: What is the difference between 67997-102HLF and 69192-202HLF?

A: The primary difference is termination method. The 67997-102HLF uses solder termination only, while the 69192-202HLF combines kinked pin with solder termination. Kinked pin termination provides additional mechanical retention during PCB assembly. Both share identical mating contact length (0.230" / 5.84mm), operating temperature range (-65°C to 130°C), and current rating (3A).

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Tray, bag, and bulk packaging formats do not affect connector performance. Packaging selection is driven by inventory management, handling procedures, and assembly line automation compatibility. All three options maintain identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 / Unlimited) and storage requirements.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications compatible across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three connectors feature gold-plated contacts suitable for equivalent mating performance. The Molex part specifies flash gold finish. The Amphenol ICC parts offer gold or GXT™ finish with specified microinch thickness (30.0µin for 67997-102HLF, 15.0µin for 69192-202HLF). These variations remain within acceptable contact resistance and wear characteristics for push-pull connector applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute options?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant, UL94 V-0 rated for flammability, and classified as MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while Amphenol ICC parts carry RoHS compliance. All are assigned ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 for export and tariff classification purposes.
