Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 67996-672 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Number of Positions: 72
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
Shrouding: Unshrouded

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Contact Shape (Square preferred for dimensional compatibility)
Contact Material (Phosphor Bronze preferred)
Contact Finish (Gold for mating surface)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - 450-10-272-00-013101 (Preci-Dip): This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 67996-672. The primary distinction is RoHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence. Contact shape differs (circular vs. square), but mating pitch and position count remain identical. Current rating of 3A and voltage rating of 150VDC are specified for this part.

Secondary Substitutes - MTLW-136-07-L-D-230, TSW-136-08-L-D-LC (Samtec): Both Samtec parts maintain core dimensional compatibility and offer RoHS3 compliance. The MTLW series supports board-to-board or cable applications with 5.2A per contact rating. The TSW series similarly supports dual application modes. Both feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is specified for both.

Tertiary Substitutes - TD-136-G-A, TD-136-G-A-1, TD-136-G-AA (Samtec): These TD series parts provide 72-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch headers with gold contact finish and RoHS3 compliance. Packaging format differs (tube vs. bulk), and detailed electrical specifications are not provided. These parts are suitable for applications where packaging format flexibility is acceptable.

Compliance Consideration: The original 67996-672 is RoHS non-compliant. All listed substitutes except the TD series variants are explicitly RoHS3 compliant, making them appropriate for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 450-10-272-00-013101 directly replace the 67996-672? A: Yes, from a mating perspective. Both parts feature 72 positions in 2 rows with 0.100" pitch spacing and are designed for through-hole solder termination. The circular contact shape of the Preci-Dip part differs from the square contacts of the Amphenol part, but this does not affect mating compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch receptacles.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Samtec MTLW and TSW series? A: Both series maintain the required 72-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch configuration. The MTLW series (MTLW-136-07-L-D-230) offers 5.2A per contact rating and supports board-to-board or cable applications. The TSW series (TSW-136-08-L-D-LC) provides similar dual-application capability with phosphor bronze contacts. Contact length and insulation height specifications differ between the two series.

Q: Are the TD-136-G-A variants suitable substitutes? A: The TD series parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 72 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The primary distinction is packaging format (tube vs. bulk). These parts are functionally equivalent for applications where packaging flexibility is acceptable.

Q: What compliance requirements should I consider when selecting a substitute? A: The original 67996-672 is RoHS non-compliant. If your application requires RoHS3 compliance, select from the Preci-Dip 450-10-272-00-013101, Samtec MTLW-136-07-L-D-230, Samtec TSW-136-08-L-D-LC, or Samtec TD series parts, all of which are RoHS3 compliant. All parts listed carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: How do contact material differences affect substitution? A: The 67996-672 uses phosphor bronze contacts, as do the Samtec MTLW, TSW, and TD series parts. The Preci-Dip 450-10-272-00-013101 uses brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for 0.100" pitch header applications. Contact finish (gold) is consistent across all listed parts for the mating surface.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes? A: The 67996-672 has 637 pieces in stock. Substitute availability varies: Preci-Dip 450-10-272-00-013101 (988 pcs), Samtec MTLW-136-07-L-D-230 (799 pcs), Samtec TD-136-G-A (994 pcs), Samtec TD-136-G-A-1 (689 pcs), Samtec TD-136-G-AA (934 pcs), and Samtec TSW-136-08-L-D-LC (725 pcs). All parts are listed as active products with new original stock available.
