Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution for the 67997-604 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:
- Connector Type & Configuration: Header, male pin contact, 4 positions, 2 rows
- Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
- Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with solder termination
- Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
- Current & Temperature Rating: 3A current capacity and operating range compatibility
- Contact Material & Finish: Gold or equivalent conductive finish on mating surfaces
- Shrouding & Style: Unshrouded, board-to-board or board-to-cable configuration
Substitute parts must maintain these core parameters to ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and functional interchangeability. Variations in contact length, insulation height, or contact finish thickness are acceptable provided they do not compromise mating compatibility or electrical performance within the specified current and temperature ranges.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full Compliance)
The Molex 0010897041, KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854, 3M 2304-6121-TB, TE Connectivity 5-146260-2, and Preci-Dip 450-series connectors are active products suitable for new designs and ongoing procurement. These parts maintain the core 4-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening.
The Molex 0010897041 and 3M 2304-6121-TB offer the closest mechanical and electrical alignment to the original 67997-604, with matching contact lengths and overall dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant or RoHS non-compliant respectively, and support the full 3A current rating.
The KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854 provides an active alternative with gold mating finish and 3A per contact rating, though its operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) is narrower than the original specification.
The TE Connectivity 5-146260-2 is an active breakaway header variant with RoHS compliance and maintains the 3A current rating across the -65°C ~ 105°C operating range.
The Preci-Dip 450-series headers (450-10-204-00-006101, 450-10-204-00-013101, 450-80-204-00-006101, 450-V3-204-00-006101) are ROHS3 compliant active products with circular contact geometry, extended operating temperature to 125°C, and 3A current rating. These offer enhanced thermal performance and regulatory compliance.
Secondary Substitutes (Obsolete Status)
The TE Connectivity 146257-2 (AMPMODU Mod II series) is an obsolete product with equivalent mechanical and electrical specifications to the original part, including matching contact lengths, gold mating finish, and 3A current rating. This part is suitable only for replacement applications where existing inventory exists.
Compliance Considerations
For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, select from the KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854, TE Connectivity 5-146260-2, or Preci-Dip 450-series parts. The Molex 0010897041 and 3M 2304-6121-TB are RoHS non-compliant and suitable only for applications where RoHS exemptions apply or legacy compliance is acceptable.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Molex 0010897041 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 67997-604?
A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (4 positions, 2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), termination (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Contact lengths and overall dimensions are within compatible tolerances. The Molex part is an active product, making it suitable for procurement and new designs.
Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity 146257-2 and 5-146260-2?
A: Both are TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series headers with identical pitch, position count, and fastening. The 146257-2 is obsolete with 30.0µin gold mating finish and tin-lead post finish. The 5-146260-2 is active with 15.0µin gold mating finish and tin post finish. The 5-146260-2 is preferred for new applications due to active status and RoHS compliance.
Q: Are the Preci-Dip 450-series connectors mechanically compatible with the original 67997-604?
A: Yes. The Preci-Dip 450-series maintains the 0.100" pitch, 4-position, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Contact geometry differs (circular vs. square), but mating compatibility is maintained. The 450-series offers superior thermal performance (-55°C ~ 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance.
Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences (gold vs. tin)?
A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Gold finishes (67997-604, 008261043210854, 146257-2, 2304-6121-TB, 5-146260-2, 450-10-204-00-006101, 450-V3-204-00-006101) provide superior corrosion resistance and are standard for high-reliability applications. Tin finish (0010897041, 450-80-204-00-006101) is acceptable for general-purpose applications with adequate environmental protection.
Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution suitability?
A: Operating temperature range must meet or exceed application requirements. The original 67997-604 specifies -65°C ~ 130°C. Substitutes with narrower ranges (KYOCERA AVX -55°C ~ 85°C) are suitable only for applications within that range. The Preci-Dip 450-series (-55°C ~ 125°C) and TE Connectivity parts (-65°C ~ 105°C) are suitable for most applications, though the original upper limit of 130°C is not matched by any substitute.
Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for substitution?
A: RoHS compliance depends on application and regulatory requirements. For EU market applications or RoHS-mandated industries, select KYOCERA AVX 008261043210854, TE Connectivity 5-146260-2, or Preci-Dip 450-series parts. For legacy or exempted applications, RoHS non-compliant parts (Molex 0010897041, 3M 2304-6121-TB, TE Connectivity 146257-2) are acceptable.
Q: Can the 4-103240-0 (80-position header) be used as a substitute?
A: No. The 4-103240-0 is an 80-position connector, not a 4-position connector. Position count is a fundamental parameter that determines mechanical fit and electrical connectivity. This part is not interchangeable with the 67997-604.
