Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 67996-414H with the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 14-position, 2-row headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Contact Type & Termination: Both feature male pin contacts with solder termination
• Mounting & Fastening: Both are through-hole mounted with push-pull fastening
• Current Rating: Both support 3A per contact
• Electrical Performance: Both feature tin-plated mating contacts and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both are unshrouded board-to-board connectors with square contact geometry

The TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 maintains functional equivalence across all primary electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications previously using the Amphenol ICC 67996-414H.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 67996-414H. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The Amphenol ICC 67996-414H is obsolete, while the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certifications: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The TE Connectivity substitute achieves RoHS compliance, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and systems subject to RoHS requirements.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: The substitute maintains identical mating pitch, row spacing, contact type, current rating, and fastening mechanism. Both operate across the -65°C to 105°C range, with the Amphenol part rated to 125°C. For applications operating within the 105°C upper limit, thermal performance is equivalent.

Physical Dimensions: Minor variations exist in contact post length (0.095" vs. 0.090") and insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.090"), resulting in a 0.015" difference in overall contact length. These dimensional differences are within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole mounting and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 67996-414H in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact type (male pin), current rating (3A), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications. Minor dimensional variations in contact post length and insulation height do not affect PCB mounting or mating performance.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67996-414H operates from -65°C to 125°C, while the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 operates from -65°C to 105°C. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the Amphenol part provides extended thermal capability. For standard industrial and commercial applications operating within -65°C to 105°C, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity substitute meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 is RoHS compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 67996-414H is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems subject to RoHS regulations, the TE Connectivity substitute is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67996-414H uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability for 3A per contact applications. The tin plating thickness (100.0µin) is identical on both parts.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67996-414H is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging does not affect connector performance or compatibility; it reflects supply chain and inventory management practices.

Q: Can the breakaway feature of the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146258-7 includes a breakaway feature, allowing individual positions to be separated if required. This feature does not affect compatibility with the Amphenol ICC 67996-414H. The connector functions identically as a 14-position header when used without breakaway separation.
