Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 67996-116HTLF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin) must remain constant
Pitch and position count (0.100" / 2.54mm, 16 positions, 2 rows) are non-negotiable
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm) must match
Mounting type (Through Hole) and termination method (Solder) must be identical
Current rating (3A minimum) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) must be maintained or exceeded
Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -65°C ~ 125°C
RoHS compliance status must be maintained

Contact length variations (mating and post) are the primary differentiator among substitute parts, as they determine board-to-board spacing and PCB stack-up compatibility. Substitute parts are grouped by contact length combinations to support different application geometries while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and comply with RoHS3 requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment with current manufacturing standards. The 67996-116HTLF operates across -65°C ~ 125°C, while Samtec MTSW series substitutes operate across -55°C ~ 125°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C lower temperature limit, PBC08DAAN from Sullins Connector Solutions matches the original operating temperature range.

Contact length variations among substitutes accommodate different PCB stack-up geometries. PBC08DAAN provides the closest electrical and thermal profile match to the original part, with identical mating contact length (0.230" / 5.84mm) and matching operating temperature range. MTSW-108-07-G-D-205 offers the closest mating contact length (0.205" / 5.21mm) among the Samtec cuttable header options while maintaining all core electrical specifications.

MTSW-108-08-G-D-225 features extended overall contact length (0.530" / 13.46mm) and is suitable only for applications requiring increased board separation. This part should be selected only when specific stack-up requirements mandate the additional height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTSW series headers substitute for the 67996-116HTLF in all applications?

A: MTSW series headers are electrically and mechanically compatible for applications operating within -55°C ~ 125°C. Applications requiring operation at -65°C require either the original 67996-116HTLF or PBC08DAAN. Contact length differences must be evaluated against PCB stack-up requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the "Cuttable" designation on Samtec MTSW parts?

A: The cuttable feature allows individual rows or sections to be separated after assembly, providing design flexibility. This does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard mating connectors.

Q: How do contact length variations affect connector selection?

A: Mating contact length determines the engagement depth with the mating connector. Post contact length determines the solder joint length on the PCB. Overall contact length affects board-to-board spacing. Selection must align with specific PCB thickness and stack-up geometry.

Q: Is PBC08DAAN fully compatible with the original 67996-116HTLF?

A: PBC08DAAN matches the original part in mating contact length (0.230" / 5.84mm), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), and current rating (3A). It is functionally equivalent for standard board-to-board applications. The breakaway feature provides additional design flexibility.

Q: What packaging differences exist among the substitute parts?

A: The 67996-116HTLF is supplied in Tube packaging. Samtec MTSW parts are supplied in Bulk or unspecified packaging. PBC08DAAN is supplied in Bulk. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant or RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original 67996-116HTLF is RoHS compliant.
