Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II Series):

The three Amphenol ICC parts (67996-134HLF, 67996-234HLF, and 67997-734HLF) represent the most direct substitutes for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-104352-6. All three are active products with RoHS compliance, addressing the regulatory limitations of the original part. The BERGSTIK® II series maintains identical pitch, position count, and row spacing specifications.

67997-734HLF provides the closest mechanical match with contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm), identical to the original part. This variant supports the highest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C) and is recommended for applications requiring maximum thermal headroom.

67996-134HLF and 67996-234HLF feature shorter contact posts (0.095" / 2.41mm) and are functionally equivalent for standard applications. The primary difference between these two is contact finish thickness: 67996-134HLF provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while 67996-234HLF provides 15.0µin (0.38µm). Both support -65°C ~ 125°C operating range.

Secondary Substitute (Samtec TSW Series):

The Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D offers an alternative from a different manufacturer with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part features a mid-range contact post length of 0.100" (2.54mm) and operates across -55°C ~ 125°C. The TSW series uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (10.0µin / 0.25µm) and tin post finish, providing distinct material properties from the Amphenol alternatives.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are RoHS compliant, addressing the non-compliant status of the original 1-104352-6. For applications requiring REACH compliance, the Amphenol ICC parts maintain REACH Affected status matching the original, while the Samtec part is REACH Unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 67996-134HLF directly replace the 1-104352-6 in existing designs?

A: The 67996-134HLF maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including pitch, position count, row spacing, contact type, and fastening mechanism. The primary difference is contact post length (0.095" versus 0.120"), which results in a 0.015" reduction in overall contact length. This variation is within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard through-hole PCB applications. Verification of PCB pad depth and mating connector specifications is required for specific applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences between substitute parts?

A: The original 1-104352-6 uses tin-lead plating, while all substitutes employ gold or gold GXT™ finishes. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin-lead, particularly in environments with moisture or thermal cycling. The thickness variations (10.0µin to 30.0µin) do not affect electrical performance for standard signal and power applications operating at 3A per contact.

Q: Why does the Samtec TSW-117-07-L-D have a lower minimum operating temperature (-55°C versus -65°C)?

A: The TSW series is specified for -55°C minimum, compared to -65°C for the original and Amphenol alternatives. This represents a 10°C reduction in cold-temperature capability. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the Amphenol ICC substitutes are required.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The original 1-104352-6 packaging is not specified in available documentation. All substitute parts are supplied in bag packaging. Quantity per bag and reel specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for production planning purposes.

Q: Can the 67996-234HLF be used in high-reliability applications?

A: The 67996-234HLF meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintains 3A per contact current rating. The 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating thickness is within industry standards for general-purpose rectangular connectors. For high-reliability applications requiring extended contact life or enhanced corrosion resistance, the 67996-134HLF with 30.0µin plating thickness is preferred.

Q: What is the difference between the BERGSTIK® II and TSW series in terms of contact material?

A: Both series use phosphor bronze as the contact material. The BERGSTIK® II series applies gold or gold GXT™ finish to mating surfaces, while the TSW series applies gold to mating surfaces and tin to post surfaces. This dual-finish approach in the TSW series provides cost optimization while maintaining electrical performance.

Q: Is the 67997-734HLF suitable for replacement in legacy equipment?

A: The 67997-734HLF is an active product with RoHS compliance and the highest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C). The contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm) matches the original 1-104352-6 exactly, making it the most direct mechanical replacement. This part is suitable for legacy equipment retrofit applications where maintaining original mechanical dimensions is critical.
