Amphenol ICC 67997-104 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67997-104 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, with 4 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series component features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and is rated for 3A current at operating temperatures from -65°C to 130°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 67997-104 is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts must match the following core criteria:

Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" row spacing
Position configuration: 4 positions in 2 rows
Mounting: Through-hole solder termination
Current rating: 3A minimum
Contact shape: Square or circular (both acceptable for this application)
Shrouding: Unshrouded
Fastening: Push-Pull mechanism

Substitutes are grouped by product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH). Contact finish variations (gold, tin, or mixed finishes) are acceptable provided mating contact specifications remain compatible. Operating temperature ranges may vary within acceptable limits for the application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and production applications, active-status parts are preferred over obsolete components. The 67997-104 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, creating supply and regulatory constraints.

Primary recommendations for RoHS3 compliance:

KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854: Active status, RoHS3 compliant, gold-plated mating contacts, 3A rating. Operating temperature range -55°C to 85°C is narrower than the original part.
Preci-Dip 450-10-204-00-006101, 450-10-204-00-013101, 450-V3-204-00-006101: Active status, RoHS3 compliant, gold-plated mating contacts, 3A rating, extended operating range to 125°C. Contact shape is circular rather than square.
Molex 0010897041: Active status, RoHS3 compliant, tin-plated mating contacts, breakaway configuration. Current rating not specified in documentation.

Alternative for non-RoHS applications:

TE Connectivity AMP 5-146260-2: Active status, RoHS compliant, gold-plated mating contacts, 3A rating, operating range -65°C to 105°C.

Obsolete alternatives (not recommended for new designs):

TE Connectivity AMP 146257-2 and 4-103186-0-02: Obsolete status, RoHS non-compliant. Suitable only for legacy system maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact finish (tin vs. gold)? A: Yes. Contact finish differences are acceptable provided the mating contact specifications remain compatible. Tin-plated contacts (such as in Preci-Dip 450-80-204-00-006101) are functionally equivalent to gold-plated contacts for this application. Verify compatibility with mating connector specifications.

Q: What is the difference between square and circular contact shapes? A: Both square and circular contact shapes are acceptable for this 2.54mm pitch header application. The contact shape does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch receptacles.

Q: Are breakaway-type headers compatible with non-breakaway applications? A: Breakaway headers (such as Molex 0010897041 and TE Connectivity AMP models) are mechanically compatible with standard board-to-board applications. The breakaway feature provides additional flexibility but does not prevent use in fixed installations.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution? A: Operating temperature ranges vary among substitutes. The original 67997-104 operates from -65°C to 130°C. Substitutes with narrower ranges (such as KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854 at -55°C to 85°C) are acceptable only if the application does not require the full original temperature range. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status? A: RoHS3 compliance is required for products sold in regulated markets. The original 67997-104 is RoHS non-compliant. Active substitutes with RoHS3 certification (KYOCERA AVX, Preci-Dip, Molex) are recommended for new designs. Legacy systems may continue using non-compliant parts if regulatory exemptions apply.

Q: Can I substitute parts with different row spacing? A: No. All substitutes maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Q: Is current rating critical for substitution? A: Yes. All substitutes maintain the 3A current rating of the original part. Parts with unspecified current ratings should be verified against application requirements before use.
