Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 67996-124 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Pitch and Position Spacing: Mating pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm) and row spacing of 0.100" (2.54mm) are mandatory for PCB footprint compatibility
• Connector Configuration: Header type with male pin contacts for board-to-board connection
• Contact Rating: Minimum 3A per contact current capacity
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination required for direct PCB integration
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type for secure mating
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -65°C to 125°C operational capability

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-103783-0 meets these core substitution criteria. However, this substitute differs in position count (80 positions versus 24 positions), which affects physical footprint and application scope. The 4-103783-0 is a breakaway header design, allowing it to be configured for 24-position applications through selective position loading or mechanical modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-103783-0 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 67996-124 for applications requiring 24-position connectivity. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, row spacing, contact rating, and fastening mechanism. The breakaway design of the 4-103783-0 provides flexibility for position configuration.

Key considerations for selection:

• Operating Temperature: The 67996-124 supports -65°C to 125°C, while the 4-103783-0 supports -65°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C cannot use the substitute without thermal derating analysis.
• Contact Material: The 67996-124 uses phosphor bronze contacts; the 4-103783-0 uses copper alloy. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance at the specified current rating.
• Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, making them equivalent for regulatory procurement purposes.
• Availability: The 4-103783-0 is currently in stock (964 pcs), providing immediate procurement advantage over the obsolete 67996-124.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-103783-0 directly replace the 67996-124 on existing PCBs?

A: The 4-103783-0 is a breakaway header with 80 positions. Direct replacement requires either PCB redesign to accommodate the larger footprint or mechanical modification of the connector to remove unused positions. The mating pitch and row spacing are identical, ensuring electrical compatibility for the 24 positions used.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials?

A: The 67996-124 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 4-103783-0 uses copper alloy. Both materials meet the 3A per contact current rating and provide equivalent electrical performance. The choice between materials does not affect substitution viability for standard applications.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when using the 4-103783-0 as a substitute?

A: The 4-103783-0 has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C, compared to 125°C for the 67996-124. Applications operating above 105°C require thermal analysis or alternative component selection.

Q: Does the breakaway design of the 4-103783-0 affect reliability?

A: The breakaway feature allows selective position loading without compromising electrical or mechanical reliability. The connector maintains full performance specifications when configured for 24 positions.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the 67996-124 and 4-103783-0 are RoHS non-compliant. They share identical RoHS status and are equivalent for applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.
