Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-146257-8 is the primary substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 67997-116H. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing modern regulatory requirements. The original part is RoHS non-compliant.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100"), contact configuration (16 positions, 2 rows), current rating (3A), and contact finish specifications (30.0µin gold thickness).

Temperature Operating Range: The substitute operates within -65°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the original part's -65°C to 130°C range. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require alternative evaluation.

Flammability Certification: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements.

Physical Dimensions: Minor variations exist in overall contact length (0.010" difference) and insulation height (0.010" difference). These variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for this connector category and do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-146257-8 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 67997-116H in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -65°C to 105°C temperature range. The substitute maintains equivalent pitch spacing, contact configuration, current rating, and contact finish specifications. Minor dimensional variations in overall contact length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board connector applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67997-116H is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 5-146257-8 is an active product with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring procurement continuity and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The substitute part (5-146257-8) is ROHS3 compliant, while the original part (67997-116H) is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.
