Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 67997-240 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 40
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

All qualified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish, contact material, insulation material, and product status are secondary considerations that do not affect basic form-fit-function compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five parts listed maintain identical form-fit-function compatibility based on core mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Status & Compliance: The 67997-240 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts (TD-120-G-AA, M20-9762046, PBC20DAAN, PEC20DAAN) are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Active Production Status: All substitute parts maintain active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Contact Finish Considerations: The 67997-240 specifies gold or gold GXT™ finish on mating contacts. TD-120-G-AA and PBC20DAAN provide gold finish compatibility. M20-9762046 and PEC20DAAN use tin finish, which is functionally equivalent for standard applications but may differ in corrosion resistance characteristics in specific environments.

Temperature & Current Ratings: M20-9762046, PBC20DAAN, and PEC20DAAN provide specified operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 105°C or -65°C to 125°C) and current ratings (3A per contact), offering defined performance boundaries. The 67997-240 and TD-120-G-AA do not specify these parameters.

Inventory Availability: PEC20DAAN offers the highest inventory level (4688 units), followed by M20-9762046 and PBC20DAAN (1490 and 1489 units respectively), providing flexibility for volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 67997-240?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (solder). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for form-fit-function purposes.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes?

A: Both finishes provide electrical conductivity and are suitable for standard applications. Gold finish (67997-240, TD-120-G-AA, PBC20DAAN) offers superior corrosion resistance and is preferred in high-reliability or harsh environment applications. Tin finish (M20-9762046, PEC20DAAN) is cost-effective and suitable for standard indoor applications. The choice depends on application environment and reliability requirements.

Q: Why do some parts specify operating temperature ranges while others do not?

A: Operating temperature specifications are provided by manufacturers based on their design validation and testing. The absence of a specification does not indicate temperature limitations; it reflects the manufacturer's documentation practices. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, select parts with explicit temperature ratings (M20-9762046, PBC20DAAN, PEC20DAAN).

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the part does not contain restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) as defined by EU regulations. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, select from TD-120-G-AA, M20-9762046, PBC20DAAN, or PEC20DAAN. The original 67997-240 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. M20-9762046 uses Polyamide (PA6T/Nylon 6T), while PBC20DAAN and PEC20DAAN use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. PBT offers slightly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance, while Polyamide provides good mechanical strength. For standard applications, both are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and why does it matter?

A: MSL indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture during storage and handling. MSL 1 (Unlimited) means the part has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and can be stored indefinitely without special precautions. PBC20DAAN and PEC20DAAN are listed as "Not Applicable," indicating they do not require MSL classification. All parts in this list are suitable for standard storage conditions.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since all parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical parameters, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly. However, for consistency in manufacturing documentation and traceability, it is recommended to standardize on a single part number per design revision.
