Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 67996-126 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Pitch and Position Count: All substitute parts maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 26 positions in 2-row configuration
Contact Type and Material: All substitutes feature male pin contacts with phosphor bronze or copper alloy materials
Mounting and Termination: All are through-hole solder-terminated connectors
Electrical Characteristics: All maintain square contact geometry and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Contact Post Length: Varies among substitutes (0.090" to 0.620"), allowing selection based on PCB stack-up requirements
Compliance Status: Substitutes include both RoHS non-compliant and RoHS3-compliant options

The primary differentiators among substitutes are contact post length, insulation material composition, contact finish specifications, and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Select 6-146256-3 (TE Connectivity), MTSW-113-08-L-D-225 (Samtec), or any Sullins part (PBC13DAAN, PBC13DACN, PBC13DAFN, PEC13DAAN, PEC13DABN). All are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

For Direct Mechanical Compatibility: PBC13DAAN and PEC13DAAN provide contact post lengths (0.120") closest to the original 67996-126 (0.095"), minimizing PCB redesign requirements.

For Extended Temperature Range: MTSW-113-08-L-D-225 and all Sullins parts support -65°C to 125°C operation, exceeding the original specification range.

For Gold-Plated Mating Contacts: 6-146256-3, MTSW-113-08-L-D-225, PBC13DAAN, PBC13DACN, and PBC13DAFN maintain gold mating finishes. PEC13DAAN and PEC13DABN feature tin mating finishes.

For Longer Post Lengths: PBC13DACN (0.320") and PBC13DAFN (0.620") accommodate thicker PCB stack-ups or extended insertion depths.

For Maximum Inventory Availability: PEC13DABN offers the highest stock level (5357 units), followed by PBC13DAAN (3354 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 67996-126 with any of these parts without PCB modification?

A: Direct substitution without modification is possible with PBC13DAAN and PEC13DAAN, which have contact post lengths (0.120") within 0.025" of the original (0.095"). Other substitutes with longer post lengths (0.205" to 0.620") require PCB hole depth verification or redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between PBC13 and PEC13 series parts?

A: The primary difference is mating contact finish. PBC13 series parts feature gold mating contacts (10.0µin thickness), while PEC13 series parts feature tin mating contacts (100.0µin thickness). Both use phosphor bronze contact material and PBT insulation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original 67996-126 is RoHS non-compliant. Transition to any substitute part satisfies RoHS3 requirements for new production.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance?

A: MTSW-113-08-L-D-225 (Samtec) and all Sullins parts support -65°C to 125°C operation. The TE Connectivity 6-146256-3 supports -65°C to 105°C. The original 67996-126 operating temperature is not specified.

Q: Can I use PBC13DAFN for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration?

A: Yes. PBC13DAFN features a 0.620" contact post length, the longest among all substitutes, suitable for applications with thick PCB assemblies or extended insertion requirements.

Q: What is the difference between breakaway and cuttable connector types?

A: Breakaway connectors (TE Connectivity, Sullins) allow individual position removal through designed break points. Cuttable connectors (Samtec MTSW series) allow custom position count through cutting. Both maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility at 2.54mm pitch.

Q: Is there a substitute with specifications closest to the original 67996-126?

A: PBC13DAAN provides the closest match: identical 26-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration, phosphor bronze contacts, gold mating finish, and contact post length (0.120") within 0.025" of the original (0.095"). It is ROHS3 compliant and has 3354 units in stock.
