Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Harwin Inc. M7687-05 is identified as a direct substitute for the Amphenol ICC 66971-102 based on the following substitution criteria:

Functional Equivalence Parameters:

• Both components function as position shunt connectors for electrical bridging applications
• Both support 2-position (1 x 2) connector configurations
• Both utilize 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, the industry standard for shunt connectors
• Both feature female socket contacts with gold plating for reliable electrical connection
• Both are rated for 250V operation and 3A current capacity
• Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification

Compliance Considerations:

• The M7687-05 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing modern regulatory requirements
• The original 66971-102 is RoHS non-compliant, reflecting its obsolete status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Harwin Inc. M7687-05 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 66971-102. Selection of the M7687-05 is supported by:

• Product Availability: The M7687-05 is currently in active production with 22,362 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity for legacy system support and new applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: The M7687-05 achieves RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and safety standards for new equipment designs and system upgrades.
• Electrical Specifications: Both components share identical MSL 1 classification and EAR99 export control designation, with the M7687-05 providing specified voltage (250V) and current (3A) ratings suitable for standard shunt connector applications.
• Mechanical Compatibility: The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 2-position configuration of the M7687-05 align with standard shunt connector form factors used in legacy Amphenol ICC designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Harwin M7687-05 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66971-102 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components function as position shunt connectors with identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (2-position), and electrical ratings (250V, 3A). The M7687-05 maintains the same MSL 1 classification and EAR99 export control status as the original part.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66971-102 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The Harwin M7687-05 is an active production equivalent that provides functional compatibility while offering improved regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The original 66971-102 packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The M7687-05 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application before procurement.

Q: Does the blue color of the M7687-05 affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a visual identification feature only and does not impact electrical function, voltage rating, current capacity, or contact performance. The blue housing is a standard identifier for the M7687 series.

Q: Are both components suitable for new designs?

A: The M7687-05 is recommended for new designs. It is in active production, RoHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. The 66971-102 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both components are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or soldering processes.
