Amphenol ICC 67997-272H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67997-272H is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This BERGSTIK® II series connector features 72 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector is manufactured with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold and is rated for solder termination with push-pull fastening. The part maintains Active product status and is widely used in applications requiring reliable vertical header connections on printed circuit boards.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design requirements necessitate components with enhanced specifications such as improved temperature ratings or RoHS compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC 67997-272HLF is classified as a direct substitute for the 67997-272H based on strict parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical dimensions and contact characteristics:

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Connector type, contact type, and position count (72 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact material, finish type, and finish thickness
• Contact dimensions (mating length, post length, overall length)
• Insulation height and contact shape
• Mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull)
• Shrouding configuration (unshrouded)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The 67997-272HLF variant incorporates enhanced specifications including defined operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C), current rating (3A), RoHS compliance, and REACH status, making it suitable for applications with stricter regulatory or environmental requirements while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the base 67997-272H.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 67997-272H and 67997-272HLF maintain Active product status and are manufactured to identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

67997-272H is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and where operating temperature and current specifications are not formally required in the design documentation.

67997-272HLF is the preferred selection for applications subject to RoHS regulations, REACH compliance requirements, or designs that specify operating temperature ranges within -65°C to 130°C and current handling up to 3A. The defined performance specifications of the 67997-272HLF provide explicit engineering parameters for design verification and regulatory documentation.

Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) within the BERGSTIK® II series and provide equivalent mechanical fit and electrical performance for board-to-board through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 67997-272H and 67997-272HLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and board footprint. Direct substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 67997-272HLF includes specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C), current rating (3A), and RoHS compliance status, whereas the 67997-272H does not include these specifications. The "LF" suffix typically indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant variants.

Q: Can I use the 67997-272HLF as a drop-in replacement for the 67997-272H?

A: Yes. The 67997-272HLF is a direct substitute with enhanced specifications. It provides the same electrical and mechanical performance with additional compliance certifications.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 67997-272HLF is recommended due to its defined operating temperature range, current rating, and RoHS compliance status, which facilitate design verification and regulatory compliance documentation.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. No packaging configuration differences exist between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold or gold GXT™ contact finish with a thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the mating surface, ensuring reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: The 67997-272HLF is rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 130°C. The 67997-272H does not specify an operating temperature range. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, the 67997-272HLF is the appropriate selection.
