Amphenol ICC 67996-572 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67996-572 is a rectangular connector header featuring 72 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and new design implementations. The BERGSTIK® II series connector provides male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and solder termination for reliable interconnection in electronic assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 67996-572 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 72 positions (primary matching criterion)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Connector Type: Header with male pin contacts
• Mounting: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening: Push-pull mechanism
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 rated insulation

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on position count alignment:

Group 1 - Direct 72-Position Substitutes: Parts maintaining exact 72-position configuration with matching pitch and row spacing. These include the 3M 2372-6121-TG and Preci-Dip 450-V3-272-00-006101.

Group 2 - Functional Alternative (80-Position): The TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 provides 80 positions with identical pitch and row spacing, suitable for applications where additional positions can be accommodated or selectively populated.

Group 3 - Stackable Configuration: The Samtec DW-36-07-L-D-200 offers 72 positions with integrated stack height specification, designed for applications requiring controlled vertical spacing in multi-connector assemblies.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Select either the Preci-Dip 450-V3-272-00-006101 or Samtec DW-36-07-L-D-200. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original 67996-572 regulatory profile. The Preci-Dip option provides the most direct functional equivalence with identical 72-position configuration and active product status.

For Active Product Status with Immediate Availability: The 3M 2372-6121-TG and Preci-Dip 450-V3-272-00-006101 are both active products with substantial inventory. The 3M connector offers board-to-board or cable compatibility, while the Preci-Dip maintains stricter RoHS3 compliance.

For Extended Operating Temperature Range: The Preci-Dip 450-V3-272-00-006101 supports -55°C to 125°C operation, exceeding the temperature range of the 3M alternative (-55°C to 105°C) and matching TE Connectivity's lower bound (-65°C to 105°C).

For Position Count Flexibility: The TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 provides 80 positions with breakaway capability, suitable for applications where additional contact positions or selective population is advantageous. This option requires design accommodation for the increased position count.

For Stackable Applications: The Samtec DW-36-07-L-D-200 integrates stack height specification (0.200" / 5.080mm), designed for multi-connector vertical assemblies where controlled spacing is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 2372-6121-TG directly replace the Amphenol ICC 67996-572?

A: The 3M 2372-6121-TG matches the critical substitution parameters: 72 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. However, it is RoHS non-compliant, whereas the original is ROHS3 compliant. Regulatory requirements must be evaluated for your application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Preci-Dip 450-V3-272-00-006101 and the original 67996-572?

A: Both maintain 72-position configuration and 2.54mm pitch. Key differences include contact shape (circular vs. square), contact material (brass vs. phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. unspecified). The Preci-Dip maintains ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Q: Why would I select the TE Connectivity 4-103783-0 with 80 positions instead of a 72-position substitute?

A: The 80-position configuration provides additional contact capacity within the same pitch and row spacing. This is suitable for applications where design flexibility allows for extra positions or where selective population of contacts is acceptable. The breakaway feature adds modularity for custom configurations.

Q: Is the Samtec DW-36-07-L-D-200 compatible with standard 72-position 2.54mm pitch applications?

A: The Samtec connector maintains 72 positions and 2.54mm pitch compatibility. The primary distinction is the integrated stack height specification (0.200"), designed for applications requiring controlled vertical spacing in multi-connector assemblies. Mechanical clearance must be verified for your specific PCB layout.

Q: What compliance certifications should I prioritize when selecting a substitute?

A: Evaluate RoHS status (ROHS3 compliance preferred for current regulations), REACH status (REACH Unaffected preferred), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0 standard across all options). The Preci-Dip and Samtec options maintain ROHS3 compliance matching the original part.

Q: Are there current rating or voltage specifications I should consider?

A: The original 67996-572 does not specify current or voltage ratings. Substitute parts with defined ratings (3A current, 150VDC voltage for Preci-Dip) provide additional design margin. Verify these specifications against your circuit requirements.
