Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and are functionally equivalent to the TE Connectivity 103675-7 based on core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among substitute options should consider the following factors:

RoHS Compliance Consideration: The TE Connectivity 103675-7 is classified as RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts (Molex 0010897400, Molex 0010897402, Amphenol ICC 67997-240HLF, Amphenol ICC 68602-140HLF, Amphenol ICC 69192-140HLF, and Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D) are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should prioritize these substitute options.

Contact Dimension Variations: Substitute parts exhibit minor variations in contact length specifications. The Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897400 and 0010897402) feature slightly longer mating contact lengths (0.240" versus 0.230"). The Amphenol ICC 68602-140HLF provides extended post contact length (0.150" versus 0.120"). The Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D offers the shortest overall contact length (0.430"). These dimensional differences may affect mating depth and board-level clearance requirements.

Insulation Material Differences: The TE Connectivity 103675-7 uses thermoplastic insulation. Molex and Samtec substitutes employ Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filling, offering enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Amphenol ICC parts do not specify insulation material composition.

Contact Material Composition: The TE Connectivity 103675-7 uses copper alloy contacts. All Amphenol ICC and Samtec substitutes employ phosphor bronze contacts, which provide superior spring characteristics and durability. Molex substitutes retain copper alloy contacts.

Operating Temperature Range: Amphenol ICC and Samtec substitutes provide specified operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 130°C and -55°C to 125°C respectively), whereas the TE Connectivity 103675-7 does not specify this parameter.

Current Rating: Amphenol ICC substitutes specify 3A current rating. Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D current rating varies by wire gauge. The TE Connectivity 103675-7 does not specify current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0010897400 and 0010897402 be used interchangeably with TE Connectivity 103675-7?

A: Both Molex parts meet the primary matching criteria for substitution. The primary difference is contact finish thickness on the mating surface: 0010897400 provides 30.0µin thickness while 0010897402 provides 15.0µin thickness, matching the TE Connectivity specification. Both parts feature identical contact length specifications and are functionally equivalent for board-to-board or cable applications.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II options?

A: The three Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II substitutes (67997-240HLF, 68602-140HLF, and 69192-140HLF) differ primarily in post contact length and termination method. The 67997-240HLF provides 0.120" post length with standard solder termination. The 68602-140HLF extends post length to 0.150" for deeper board penetration. The 69192-140HLF combines 0.120" post length with kinked pin termination for enhanced mechanical retention. All three provide 3A current rating and -65°C to 130°C operating temperature range.

Q: How does the Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D differ from other substitutes?

A: The Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D features the shortest overall contact length (0.430" versus 0.440" to 0.480" for other options) and the thinnest mating contact finish (10.0µin). It employs phosphor bronze contacts and Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, and current rating varies by wire gauge. This option is suitable for applications with space constraints or requiring minimal board penetration depth.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are either RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity 103675-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must utilize one of the substitute options.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Packaging varies by manufacturer. Molex 0010897400 and 0010897402 are supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC 67997-240HLF and 68602-140HLF are supplied in bag packaging. Amphenol ICC 69192-140HLF is supplied in bulk packaging. Samtec HTSW-120-07-L-D is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging selection may affect inventory management and handling procedures.

Q: Can contact finish thickness variations affect connector performance?

A: Contact finish thickness variations (ranging from 10.0µin to 30.0µin) do not affect electrical performance in standard applications. Thicker finishes provide enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection in high-cycle mating environments. Selection should align with application duty cycle and environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (40), and row configuration (2 rows). Minor variations in overall contact length and insulation height may affect mating depth and board-level clearance. Verify PCB footprint compatibility and connector cavity depth before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of contact material differences?

A: The TE Connectivity 103675-7 uses copper alloy contacts, while Amphenol ICC and Samtec substitutes employ phosphor bronze. Phosphor bronze provides superior spring force retention and fatigue resistance, particularly beneficial in high-cycle mating applications. Copper alloy contacts are suitable for standard applications with moderate mating cycles.
