Amphenol ICC 67997-508 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 67997-508 is a BERGSTIK® II series rectangular connector header designed for through-hole board-to-board applications. This 8-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with male pin contacts and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitute connectors must maintain electrical compatibility through matching pitch, position count, row configuration, and contact characteristics while accommodating variations in contact length, insulation material, and finish specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 67997-508 is based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute parts must maintain the following core parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Positions: 8
Number of Rows: 2
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Connector Type: Header with male pin contacts
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Contact Shape: Square
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
Shrouding: Unshrouded

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on contact length and insulation height variations:

Category A: Molex C-Grid 70280 Series (0010897081, 0010897082) These parts maintain compatibility through identical pitch, position count, and row spacing. Contact length variations (0.240" mating vs. 0.230" original) and insulation height differences (0.090" vs. 0.100") are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for board-to-board applications. Both parts feature active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Category B: Sullins Connector Solutions PBC04 Series (PBC04DAAN through PBC04DAHN) These parts provide direct electrical substitution with identical core parameters. Variations exist in contact post length (0.120" to 0.820"), allowing selection based on specific PCB stack-up requirements. All PBC04 variants maintain phosphor bronze contact material, gold mating finish, and active product status with RoHS3 compliance.

Note on TE Connectivity 4-103186-0: This part is excluded from primary substitution due to 80-position configuration, which does not match the 8-position requirement of the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes: Sullins PBC04 Series (PBC04DAAN through PBC04DAHN)

The Sullins PBC04 series provides the closest electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 67997-508. All variants maintain identical pitch, position count, row spacing, and contact material (phosphor bronze). These parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory limitations of the original part. Selection within the PBC04 series depends on required contact post length to accommodate specific PCB stack-up configurations:

PBC04DAAN: 0.120" post length (closest match to original 67997-508)
PBC04DABN through PBC04DAHN: Extended post lengths for thicker PCB assemblies

Secondary Substitutes: Molex C-Grid 70280 Series (0010897081, 0010897082)

The Molex parts offer active product status and RoHS3 compliance with minor dimensional variations. Contact length mating dimension is 0.010" greater (0.240" vs. 0.230"), and insulation height is 0.010" lower (0.090" vs. 0.100"). These variations are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard board-to-board applications. Part 0010897082 with gold mating finish provides closer electrical performance matching to the original specification.

Compliance Considerations

All recommended substitutes are RoHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliant status of the obsolete 67997-508. The Sullins PBC04 series additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory clarity for international applications. All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and push-pull fastening compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 67997-508 with any of the substitute parts without PCB modification?

A: Direct replacement is possible with PBC04DAAN, which maintains identical contact post length (0.120") and insulation height (0.100") as the original 67997-508. Molex parts 0010897081 and 0010897082 have slightly different dimensional characteristics (0.010" shorter insulation height, 0.010" longer mating contact) that may require PCB footprint verification but are generally compatible with standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0010897081 and 0010897082?

A: Both parts are identical except for contact finish. Part 0010897081 features tin mating finish, while 0010897082 features gold mating finish. The gold finish variant (0010897082) provides better corrosion resistance and closer electrical performance matching to the original 67997-508 gold finish specification.

Q: How do I select the correct Sullins PBC04 variant?

A: Selection is based on required contact post length, which must accommodate your PCB stack-up thickness. PBC04DAAN has the shortest post (0.120"), matching the original part. Extended variants (PBC04DABN through PBC04DAHN) provide post lengths from 0.230" to 0.820" for thicker assemblies. Measure your PCB stack-up and select the variant with post length approximately 0.050" to 0.100" longer than your stack-up thickness.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the obsolete 67997-508. This compliance is mandatory for most modern applications and regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: Sullins PBC04 series parts operate from -65°C to 125°C, which is 5°C lower than the original 67997-508 (-65°C to 130°C). For applications requiring operation above 125°C, the original specification must be confirmed with the connector manufacturer. Molex C-Grid 70280 parts do not specify operating temperature in the provided data.

Q: Can I use these connectors for applications other than board-to-board?

A: The Molex C-Grid 70280 series is rated for board-to-board or cable applications. Sullins PBC04 series is rated for board-to-board or cable applications. The original 67997-508 is specified for board-to-board only. Confirm your application requirements before selecting a substitute.

Q: What is the current rating for the substitute parts?

A: Sullins PBC04 series parts are rated for 3A, matching the original 67997-508. Molex C-Grid 70280 parts do not specify current rating in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed current capacity, the Sullins parts provide explicit 3A rating.
