Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Substitutes (Preferred):

All listed substitute parts—Molex 0010897341, Molex 0010897342, TE Connectivity 6-146256-7, TE Connectivity 6-146257-7, and Samtec TD-117-G-AA—are active products with current manufacturing support. These are preferred over the obsolete 67997-534 for new designs and ongoing production.

RoHS Compliance Considerations:

Molex 0010897341 and 0010897342, along with TE Connectivity 6-146256-7 and Samtec TD-117-G-AA, are ROHS3 Compliant. TE Connectivity 6-146257-7 is RoHS Compliant. These substitutes provide regulatory compliance advantages over the RoHS non-compliant 67997-534 for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Contact Finish Selection:

For applications requiring gold contact finish matching the original 67997-534 specification, select Molex 0010897342, TE Connectivity 6-146256-7, TE Connectivity 6-146257-7, or Samtec TD-117-G-AA. Molex 0010897341 features tin contact finish, which is acceptable for general-purpose board-to-board applications where gold is not mandated.

Temperature Range Considerations:

The 67997-534 operates across -65°C to 130°C. TE Connectivity 6-146256-7 and 6-146257-7 operate across -65°C to 105°C, which is suitable for most applications but does not extend to the full upper temperature range of the original part. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 130°C range, verify substitute performance specifications or consider design modifications.

Inventory and Availability:

All substitute parts maintain substantial inventory levels: Molex 0010897341 (968 pcs), Molex 0010897342 (1083 pcs), TE Connectivity 6-146256-7 (996 pcs), TE Connectivity 6-146257-7 (813 pcs), and Samtec TD-117-G-AA (759 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0010897341 with tin contact finish replace the gold-finished 67997-534?

A: Molex 0010897341 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 67997-534. Tin contact finish is acceptable for general-purpose board-to-board applications. However, if the original design specifically requires gold contact finish for corrosion resistance or specific mating surface requirements, select a gold-finished substitute such as Molex 0010897342 or TE Connectivity 6-146256-7.

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity 6-146256-7 and 6-146257-7?

A: Both parts are 34-position, 2-row headers with 0.100" pitch and gold contact finish. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: 6-146256-7 has 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold thickness, while 6-146257-7 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold thickness. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability and operate across -65°C to 105°C. Select 6-146257-7 for applications requiring enhanced contact durability or higher mating cycle counts.

Q: Are the Molex C-Grid 70280 series connectors (0010897341, 0010897342) compatible with the original BERGSTIK® II series?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the 67997-534. The C-Grid 70280 series shares the same 34-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences are insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. unspecified in original) and contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), which do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the Samtec TD-117-G-AA meet the same specifications as the 67997-534?

A: The Samtec TD-117-G-AA matches the 67997-534 in critical parameters: 34 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and gold contact finish. The TD-117-G-AA is ROHS3 Compliant and active in production. Specific operating temperature range and current rating are not provided for the Samtec part; verify these parameters against application requirements before selection.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: Molex 0010897341 and 0010897342 are supplied in Bulk packaging. TE Connectivity 6-146256-7 and 6-146257-7 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Samtec TD-117-G-AA is supplied in Tube packaging. Select based on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed—Molex 0010897341, Molex 0010897342, TE Connectivity 6-146256-7, TE Connectivity 6-146257-7, and Samtec TD-117-G-AA—are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the 67997-534. This indicates no special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.
