Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-146261-4 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Amphenol ICC 67996-608 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Header with breakaway capability
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 8 across 2 rows
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting method: Through hole solder termination
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Current rating: 3A per contact
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Contact finish (mating): Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)

Functional Compatibility: Both connectors support board-to-board applications with identical electrical and mechanical interfaces at the mating surface. The 2.54mm pitch standard ensures PCB footprint compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 67996-608. The substitute maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical mating pitch, contact configuration, and current rating specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The Amphenol ICC 67996-608 is obsolete, while the TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The TE Connectivity substitute is RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Operating Temperature Differential: The original part operates to 125°C maximum, while the substitute operates to 105°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require thermal performance verification.

Physical Dimension Variance: Minor differences exist in contact post length (0.095" versus 0.090") and insulation height (0.100" versus 0.090"). These variations are within standard connector tolerance ranges and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility for standard 2.54mm pitch applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC 67996-608 and TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 2-row, 8-position configuration. PCB footprints designed for the Amphenol ICC 67996-608 accommodate the TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the "Breakaway" feature on the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The breakaway feature allows individual connector positions to be separated if required. This does not affect compatibility with applications using the full 8-position connector configuration.

Q: Does the insulation material difference impact electrical performance?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67996-608 uses unspecified insulation material, while the TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection does not affect electrical performance for standard signal and power applications within the specified current and voltage ratings.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range different between the two parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67996-608 operates to -65°C ~ 125°C, while the TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 operates to -65°C ~ 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must retain the original part or identify alternative solutions rated for higher temperatures.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional requirement for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a functional electrical or mechanical requirement. The TE Connectivity substitute's RoHS compliance status may be mandatory depending on application jurisdiction and customer requirements.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146261-4 be used in existing designs without PCB layout changes?

A: Yes. The identical 2.54mm pitch and 2-row configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility. No layout modifications are required for standard through-hole solder applications.
