Amphenol ICC 67997-230 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67997-230 is a rectangular connector header featuring 30 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole component is designed for board-to-board applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 67997-230 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
Mounting configuration: Through-hole solder termination
Fastening mechanism: Push-pull engagement
Contact material and finish: Gold-plated mating surface
Current capacity: 3A minimum rating
Operating temperature range: Minimum -65°C to 130°C capability
Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 4-103240-0 qualifies as a substitute based on matching pitch spacing, connector type, mounting method, termination style, fastening type, contact finish, current rating, and flammability certification. Position count differences (80 vs. 30) and row configuration variations do not preclude substitution when circuit design accommodates the higher position count through selective loading or breakaway configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 67997-230 and 4-103240-0 share obsolete product status, requiring procurement from authorized distributors maintaining legacy inventory. Selection between these components depends on application-specific requirements:

The 67997-230 maintains a higher maximum operating temperature of 130°C compared to the 4-103240-0 at 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C necessitate the original Amphenol ICC part or equivalent alternatives rated to 130°C.

The 4-103240-0 offers breakaway configuration capability, enabling selective position utilization through mechanical separation. This feature accommodates designs requiring fewer than 80 positions without requiring custom assembly or partial loading.

Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain identical pitch spacing, row configuration, contact material specifications, and current ratings. Neither component achieves RoHS compliance, consistent with their classification as legacy connector technology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4-103240-0 directly replace the 67997-230 in existing PCB designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of three factors: (1) PCB footprint accommodation of the 80-position header layout, (2) application operating temperature not exceeding 105°C, and (3) circuit design compatibility with the higher position count. The breakaway feature of the 4-103240-0 permits mechanical removal of unused positions to match the 30-position footprint of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the 25°C operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The 67997-230 operates to 130°C maximum while the 4-103240-0 operates to 105°C maximum. Applications with sustained thermal exposure above 105°C require the original Amphenol ICC part or alternative components with equivalent high-temperature ratings.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with contact finish specifications?

A: Both components feature gold-plated mating contacts suitable for standard connector engagement. The 67997-230 specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish at 15.0µin thickness, while the 4-103240-0 specifies gold finish at 30.0µin thickness. The thicker gold plating on the substitute part provides enhanced wear resistance without affecting electrical compatibility.

Q: How does the breakaway feature of the 4-103240-0 affect substitution suitability?

A: The breakaway configuration allows mechanical separation of the 80-position header into smaller segments. This feature enables the 4-103240-0 to function as a 30-position equivalent when configured appropriately, providing design flexibility not available with the fixed 30-position 67997-230.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these obsolete components?

A: The 67997-230 is available in unspecified packaging with 1120 pieces in current inventory. The 4-103240-0 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1241 pieces in current inventory. Both components are classified as new original stock from authorized distributors.
