Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II Series (67996-134HLF, 67996-234HLF, 67997-734HLF)

The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series connectors are active products with RoHS compliance certification. These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The BERGSTIK® II series offers improved compliance posture compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity part. Selection between the three BERGSTIK® II variants depends on specific contact length and post length requirements:

67996-134HLF: Contact Length - Post 0.095" (2.41mm), Overall Contact Length 0.425" (10.80mm)
67996-234HLF: Contact Length - Post 0.095" (2.41mm), Overall Contact Length 0.425" (10.80mm)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 67996-134HLF directly replace the TE Connectivity 103675-8?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (34 positions in 2 rows), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The primary difference is product status: the TE Connectivity part is obsolete while the Amphenol ICC part is active with RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the three Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II variants?

A: The three variants differ in contact post length and overall contact length. The 67996-134HLF and 67996-234HLF both feature 0.095" (2.41mm) contact post length and 0.425" (10.80mm) overall contact length. The 67997-734HLF features 0.120" (3.05mm) contact post length and 0.450" (11.43mm) overall contact length, matching the original TE Connectivity part more closely. The 67997-734HLF also supports a higher maximum operating temperature of 130°C versus 125°C for the other variants.

Q: Is the Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D compatible with the same mating connectors as the TE Connectivity 103675-8?

A: Yes. The Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D maintains identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (34 positions in 2 rows), and contact geometry (square male pins). Mating compatibility is preserved.

Q: What compliance advantages do the substitute parts offer?

A: All substitute parts are RoHS compliant, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the obsolete TE Connectivity 103675-8. The Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D additionally offers REACH unaffected status, whereas the Amphenol ICC parts carry REACH affected designation. All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 103675-8 uses copper alloy contacts, while all substitute parts use phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified pitch and position count. Phosphor bronze offers improved spring characteristics and contact durability in push-pull connector applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness variations?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability and mating cycle life. The TE Connectivity 103675-8 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold mating finish. The Amphenol ICC 67996-134HLF and TSW-117-07-L-D match this specification at 15.0µin and 10.0µin respectively. The Amphenol ICC 67996-234HLF and 67997-734HLF specify 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing enhanced contact durability. Higher finish thickness does not prevent substitution but may extend connector service life.

Q: Can I use these connectors in applications with operating temperatures above 125°C?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67997-734HLF supports operating temperatures up to 130°C. The Amphenol ICC 67996-134HLF and 67996-234HLF, and the Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D support temperatures up to 125°C. The original TE Connectivity 103675-8 does not specify an operating temperature range. Application requirements above 125°C require selection of the 67997-734HLF variant.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The TE Connectivity 103675-8 packaging is not specified in the provided data. All substitute parts are supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
