Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Alternatives (Recommended for New Designs):

The Molex 0010897121 and 0010897122 (C-Grid 70280 series) are active products with ROHS3 compliance, offering the best long-term availability. Both maintain the 12-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration with square contacts and solder termination. The 0010897121 features tin mating finish, while 0010897122 provides gold mating finish. Both are rated for push-pull fastening and UL94 V-0 flammability.

The TE Connectivity 146443-6 (AMPMODU Mod II series) is an active product with square contacts, gold mating finish, and solder termination. This part maintains compatibility with the original 67997-612 pinout and mechanical envelope.

The Preci-Dip 450 series (450-10-212-00-001101, 450-80-212-00-006101, 450-80-212-00-013101, 450-V3-212-00-006101) are all active products with ROHS3 compliance. These feature circular contacts instead of square, with operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C and 3A current rating. Contact finish options include gold and tin.

Obsolete Product Alternatives (Legacy Support Only):

The TE Connectivity 104350-6 and 104351-6 (AMPMODU Mod II series) are obsolete products with square contacts, gold mating finish, and 3A current rating. These maintain the original 67997-612 electrical and mechanical specifications but are no longer in active production.

RoHS Compliance Consideration:

The original 67997-612 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from the Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897121, 0010897122) or Preci-Dip 450 series alternatives, all of which carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 67997-612 with any of the listed parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts maintain the critical parameters: 12 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is ensured across all substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between square and circular contact shapes?

A: Both contact shapes are functionally equivalent for this connector category. Square contacts (67997-612, Molex, TE AMPMODU) and circular contacts (Preci-Dip 450 series) provide the same electrical performance and mating force characteristics. Selection depends on design preference and availability.

Q: Are there RoHS-compliant alternatives to the 67997-612?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010897121 and 0010897122 are ROHS3 compliant. The Preci-Dip 450 series (all variants listed) are also ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 146443-6 is RoHS non-compliant but active. For RoHS-compliant designs, prioritize Molex or Preci-Dip alternatives.

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

A: Both finishes provide adequate contact resistance and durability for this connector class. Tin finish (Molex 0010897121, Preci-Dip 450-80 series) offers cost efficiency. Gold finish (Molex 0010897122, TE 104350-6, 104351-6, 146443-6, Preci-Dip 450-10 and 450-V3 series) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is preferred for high-reliability applications.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: The original 67997-612 operates from -65°C to 130°C. Most substitutes operate within -55°C to 125°C or -65°C to 105°C ranges. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 130°C range, verify the specific substitute's temperature specification. The Preci-Dip 450 series (-55°C to 125°C) and TE AMPMODU series (-65°C to 105°C) cover most industrial requirements.

Q: Are breakaway connector variants compatible?

A: Yes. Breakaway variants (Molex C-Grid 70280, TE AMPMODU Mod II) maintain the same 12-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration and are mechanically and electrically compatible with the non-breakaway 67997-612. Breakaway capability is an additional feature that does not affect core substitution compatibility.

Q: What is the current rating for all substitutes?

A: The original 67997-612 is rated for 3A. All TE AMPMODU and Preci-Dip 450 series substitutes are rated for 3A. Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897121, 0010897122) do not specify current rating in the provided data but are electrically equivalent to the original part.
