Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-104352-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 60
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Connector type: Header
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Current rating: 3A minimum
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -65°C to 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 67996-160HLF satisfies all critical matching parameters. This substitute maintains identical position count, row configuration, pitch spacing, and contact type. Both connectors support through-hole mounting with unshrouded headers and equivalent current ratings. The substitute operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67996-160HLF is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-104352-9. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The original part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute is in active production status. This ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance Enhancement: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This addresses current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and end-of-life management.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters align between the original and substitute parts. Both connectors maintain identical position counts, row configurations, pitch spacing, contact types, and current ratings. The substitute's extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) encompasses the original specification (-65°C to 105°C), providing additional thermal margin.

Certification Maintenance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, ensuring equivalent safety performance in applications requiring flame-retardant materials.

Contact Material Upgrade: The substitute features phosphor bronze contacts with gold or gold GXT™ finish, compared to the original tin-lead finish. This provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 67996-160HLF directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-104352-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters: 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, and 3A current rating. The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for the original part.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certifications, and contact materials. The substitute is in active production (versus obsolete), achieves RoHS compliance (versus non-compliant), and features phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish (versus tin-lead). The substitute also operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C versus -65°C to 105°C).

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact length for mating (0.230"), and mounting type (through-hole). PCB footprints designed for the original part accommodate the substitute without modification.

Q: Are there any voltage or current limitations when using the substitute?

A: The substitute maintains the 3A per contact current rating of the original part. While the original part specifies 30VAC voltage rating, the substitute does not list a specific voltage rating in the provided specifications. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance for safety-critical applications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, meeting current European Union and international regulations restricting hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The original part's non-compliant status may restrict its use in new designs or applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: How does the contact finish difference affect performance?

A: The substitute's phosphor bronze contacts with gold or gold GXT™ finish provide enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to the original tin-lead finish. This upgrade improves long-term performance in environments with moisture or corrosive conditions.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute is supplied in bag packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. Both parts are available in new original condition with substantial inventory levels (637 pieces for the substitute).
