Amphenol ICC 67996-160 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67996-160 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features 60 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part is currently active in production with 862 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility needs, or application-specific performance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 67996-160 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or be compatible:

Core Matching Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• Style: Board to Board or Board to Board/Cable compatible

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Length - Mating: 0.200" (5.08mm) to 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.300" (7.62mm) to 0.450" (11.43mm)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold or Gold variants
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (all candidates)
• Insulation Material: Varies (acceptable for board-to-board applications)

All four substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the 67996-160.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Compliance Considerations:

The 67996-160 is RoHS non-compliant. All four substitute parts (MTSW-130-06-G-D-200, MTSW-130-07-L-D-200, MTSW-130-23-G-D-200, and PBC30DAAN) are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Product Status:

All parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Certification Alignment:

All candidates carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and are suitable for applications requiring flame-retardant materials. The Samtec MTSW series parts include REACH Unaffected status where specified. The Sullins PBC30DAAN carries REACH Unaffected designation.

Connector Feature Variations:

Samtec MTSW series parts offer cuttable header functionality, enabling custom position configurations. The Sullins PBC30DAAN provides breakaway header capability. These features do not affect electrical compatibility but may provide design flexibility for specific applications.

Contact Length Considerations:

Contact length variations exist across substitute parts. The MTSW-130-06-G-D-200 features the shortest mating contact length at 0.200" (5.08mm), while the PBC30DAAN matches the original 0.230" (5.84mm) mating contact length. Overall contact lengths range from 0.300" to 0.450", accommodating different PCB thickness and application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTSW-130-06-G-D-200 be used as a direct replacement for 67996-160?

A: Yes. The MTSW-130-06-G-D-200 meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications: 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The mating contact length differs at 0.200" versus 0.230", but this remains within acceptable tolerance for board-to-board applications. The cuttable header feature provides additional design flexibility.

Q: What is the difference between the three Samtec MTSW variants?

A: The three Samtec parts differ primarily in post contact length and post contact finish. MTSW-130-06-G-D-200 features the shortest overall contact length at 0.300". MTSW-130-07-L-D-200 has tin-plated posts with 0.130" post length. MTSW-130-23-G-D-200 has gold-plated posts with 0.145" post length. All three maintain identical mating specifications and are electrically equivalent.

Q: Is the Sullins PBC30DAAN compatible with the original 67996-160?

A: Yes. The PBC30DAAN matches the original mating contact length at 0.230" (5.84mm) and maintains all core specifications. The breakaway header feature and PBT insulation material do not affect electrical compatibility. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C, providing broader thermal capability.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The 67996-160 is RoHS non-compliant, while all substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the substitute parts provide regulatory alignment. For legacy systems without RoHS mandates, both compliant and non-compliant parts remain functionally equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the contact length variations. The MTSW-130-06-G-D-200 with 0.300" overall contact length requires the shallowest PCB pocket, while the PBC30DAAN at 0.450" requires the deepest. Verify PCB thickness and mounting pocket depth against the selected substitute part specifications.

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

A: Cuttable headers (Samtec MTSW series) allow individual position removal through cutting. Breakaway headers (Sullins PBC30DAAN) feature perforated sections enabling manual separation of position groups. Both provide design flexibility for custom configurations while maintaining full 60-position capability when used intact.
