Amphenol ICC 67996-106 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67996-106 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, with 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series component features male pins, unshrouded design, and solder termination with push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across the 6-position, 2-row configuration with matching pitch and contact specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Highest Compatibility)

The 3M 2300 series (2306-6121-TB, 2306-6121-TG, 2306-6121-TP) and KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 are the preferred substitutes. These parts maintain square contact geometry matching the original 67996-106 design, identical pitch specifications, and equivalent electrical ratings. The 3M parts offer operating temperature ranges up to 105°C and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 provides ROHS3 compliance and active product status, though with a reduced operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Circular Contact Geometry)

Mill-Max 450 series (450-10-206-00-001000, 450-10-206-00-006000) and Preci-Dip 450 series (450-10-206-00-001101, 450-10-206-00-013101, 450-80-206-00-001101) provide functional equivalence with circular contact geometry. These parts maintain 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Preci-Dip variants offer extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C), UL94 V-0 certification, and ROHS3 compliance. Contact geometry differences require mechanical validation in specific applications.

Tertiary Substitute (Obsolete Status, Breakaway Configuration)

TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 is an 80-position breakaway header from which 6-position segments can be extracted. While obsolete, this part maintains electrical compatibility and extended temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). Breakaway extraction requires mechanical processing and is suitable only for applications where individual segment isolation is feasible.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 and all Mill-Max/Preci-Dip 450 series parts meet ROHS3 standards. The original 67996-106 and 3M 2300 series are RoHS non-compliant. For applications with temperature extremes below -55°C or above 105°C, Preci-Dip 450 series and TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 support the full -65°C to 125°C range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a circular contact geometry part for the square contact original?

A: Circular and square contact geometries are mechanically and electrically distinct. Substitution requires validation that mating connectors accept both geometries. Contact the connector manufacturer or perform mechanical fit testing before production implementation.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M 2306-6121-TB, 2306-6121-TG, and 2306-6121-TP variants?

A: These parts differ in contact finish specifications. The TB variant features gold mating contacts with tin-lead post finish. The TG variant has gold mating contacts with reduced thickness (10.0µin vs. 30.0µin). The TP variant uses tin-lead for both mating and post finishes. All three maintain identical pitch, position count, and electrical ratings.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 breakaway header a direct substitute?

A: The 4-103783-0 is an 80-position breakaway configuration. While electrically compatible, it requires mechanical extraction of 6-position segments. This approach is suitable only for applications where individual header segments can be isolated without affecting circuit board integrity.

Q: Which substitute offers the best RoHS compliance?

A: KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 and all Mill-Max/Preci-Dip 450 series parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original 67996-106 and 3M 2300 series are RoHS non-compliant. Select ROHS3-compliant parts for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: What operating temperature range should I specify for critical applications?

A: The original 67996-106 operates from -65°C to 125°C. Preci-Dip 450 series and TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 maintain this full range. KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 is limited to -55°C to 85°C. 3M 2300 series supports -55°C to 105°C. Select parts based on specific application temperature requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. Mill-Max 450 series ships in tubes. Preci-Dip 450 series ships in bulk. KYOCERA AVX 008261063210854 ships in bags. 3M 2300 series packaging is unspecified. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: All listed substitutes maintain identical pitch and position specifications, allowing mixed-manufacturer use within a single assembly. However, contact finish variations (gold vs. tin-lead) may affect mating connector compatibility. Validate mating connector specifications before mixing manufacturers.
