Amphenol ICC 67997-216 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67997-216 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting with 16 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and phosphor bronze material, rated for 3A current and 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

Substitute parts for the 67997-216 are selected based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitutes maintain the core functional parameters: 16-position, 2-row header configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Current rating of 3A is preserved across all primary substitutes. Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Primary Substitutes (Direct Functional Equivalents): Parts maintaining identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and current rating specifications. These include Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101, Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101, and Samtec HMTSW-108-07-G-D-195.

Secondary Substitutes (Functional Variants): 3M 929836 series parts with identical position and pitch specifications but with variations in contact length, post length, and operating temperature range. These parts maintain board-to-board connectivity but operate at reduced current rating (2.5A) and lower maximum temperature (105°C).

Non-Equivalent Part: TE Connectivity 4-103186-0 features 80 positions and is not a direct substitute despite matching pitch and mounting type.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliant Applications: Select Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101 or Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101. Both maintain full 3A current rating and support operating temperatures to 125°C. The 450-10-216-00-001101 features gold-plated contacts with 10.0µin thickness and brass material. The 450-80-216-00-006101 uses tin finish with brass material and is available in higher inventory (658 pcs).

For Extended Temperature Range: Samtec HMTSW-108-07-G-D-195 supports -55°C to 125°C operating range with ROHS3 compliance, phosphor bronze contacts, and 3A current rating. This part maintains the closest thermal specification to the original 67997-216.

For Active Product Status with Reduced Temperature Requirements: 3M 929836 series (929836-01-08-RK, 929836-02-08, 929836-08-08, 929836-09-08) are all active products with varying post lengths. These parts operate at 2.5A current rating and -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Selection within this series depends on required post length for specific PCB stack-up requirements.

For Legacy Non-Compliant Applications: Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101 maintains RoHS non-compliant status matching the original part while providing active product support and higher inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 67997-216 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Direct replacement depends on application requirements. Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101, Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101, and Samtec HMTSW-108-07-G-D-195 maintain identical position count, pitch, current rating (3A), and mounting specifications. 3M 929836 series parts are functionally compatible but operate at reduced current (2.5A) and lower maximum temperature (105°C). All maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and push-pull fastening.

Q: What is the primary difference between Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101 and 450-80-216-00-006101?

A: Both are 16-position, 2-row headers with identical pitch and current rating. The 450-10-216-00-001101 features gold-plated contacts (10.0µin thickness) on brass material with 0.156" mating contact length. The 450-80-216-00-006101 uses tin finish on brass with 0.141" mating contact length. Contact length differences affect mating force and insertion depth characteristics.

Q: Why does the 3M 929836 series show lower current rating?

A: The 3M 929836 series is rated for 2.5A versus the original 3A specification. This represents a design difference in contact geometry and material composition. Applications requiring full 3A capacity should select Preci-Dip or Samtec alternatives.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 4-103186-0 a suitable substitute?

A: No. While the 4-103186-0 shares 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole mounting, it features 80 positions in a 2-row configuration, making it incompatible with the 16-position requirement of the 67997-216.

Q: What are the compliance implications of selecting a substitute?

A: The original 67997-216 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, select Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101, Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101, or Samtec HMTSW-108-07-G-D-195. For legacy applications maintaining non-compliant status, Preci-Dip 450-80-216-00-006101 is available. Verify compliance requirements with design specifications before selection.

Q: How do contact length variations affect PCB design?

A: Contact length differences between substitutes impact mating force, insertion depth, and PCB stack-up accommodation. The original 67997-216 specifies 0.230" mating contact length. Preci-Dip 450-10-216-00-001101 provides 0.156", while 450-80-216-00-006101 provides 0.141". Samtec HMTSW-108-07-G-D-195 provides 0.195". Verify PCB hole depth and mating connector specifications before final selection.
