Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 67997-618HT is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector geometry: 18 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
Contact configuration: Male pin, square shape, solder termination
Mounting method: Through-hole, push-pull fastening
Electrical performance: 3A current rating minimum
Environmental compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Operating temperature: Minimum -55°C to +125°C (all substitutes meet or exceed the -65°C to +130°C range of the main part, with the exception of 5-146256-9 which operates to +105°C)

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, post length, and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active production status and meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the 67997-618HT.

RoHS Compliance Consideration: The 67997-618HT is RoHS non-compliant, while all substitute parts (5-146256-9, HTSW-109-07-S-D, PBC09DAAN, PBC09DABN, PEC09DAAN, TSW-109-07-F-D) are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives should prioritize the compliant alternatives.

Temperature Range: The 67997-618HT operates to 130°C. The 5-146256-9 (TE Connectivity) is limited to 105°C maximum. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 130°C range, select from HTSW-109-07-S-D, PBC09DAAN, PBC09DABN, PEC09DAAN, or TSW-109-07-F-D, which all support -55°C to 125°C or -65°C to 125°C.

Contact Finish: The 67997-618HT features gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish. PEC09DAAN uses tin mating contact finish and is suitable only where tin-plated contacts are acceptable. All other substitutes use gold mating contact finish.

Post Length Variation: PBC09DABN features extended post length (0.230" / 5.84mm) compared to the standard 0.120" (3.05mm) of the main part. This variation affects PCB hole depth requirements and should be verified against board design specifications.

Packaging: The 67997-618HT is supplied in tube packaging. Substitutes are available in bulk or bag packaging, which may affect procurement and handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 5-146256-9 as a direct replacement for 67997-618HT in all applications?

A: 5-146256-9 is functionally equivalent for standard board-to-board applications. However, its maximum operating temperature is 105°C, compared to 130°C for the 67997-618HT. Verify that your application does not require operation above 105°C. Additionally, the insulation height is 0.090" (2.29mm) versus 0.100" (2.54mm) for the main part.

Q: What is the difference between PBC09DAAN and PBC09DABN?

A: Both are Sullins Connector Solutions parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for contact post length. PBC09DAAN has a 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, matching the 67997-618HT. PBC09DABN has an extended 0.230" (5.84mm) post length, resulting in an overall contact length of 0.560" (14.22mm). Select based on your PCB hole depth and solder pad requirements.

Q: Why is PEC09DAAN listed as a substitute if it uses tin mating contact finish instead of gold?

A: PEC09DAAN maintains all critical connector geometry, electrical rating, and mechanical specifications. The tin mating contact finish is a material variation that does not affect functional interchangeability in applications where tin-plated contacts are acceptable. Verify contact finish compatibility with your mating connector before selection.

Q: Are the Samtec parts (HTSW-109-07-S-D and TSW-109-07-F-D) interchangeable with each other?

A: Both Samtec parts share the same 18-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration and operate across -55°C to 125°C. The primary difference is contact post length: HTSW-109-07-S-D has 0.100" (2.54mm) post length, while TSW-109-07-F-D also has 0.100" (2.54mm) post length. Both are suitable substitutes for the 67997-618HT in applications not requiring the full -65°C lower temperature limit.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a material composition and manufacturing process requirement, not an electrical specification. All RoHS-compliant substitutes maintain identical electrical ratings (3A current, UL94 V-0 flammability) and are electrically equivalent to the non-compliant 67997-618HT.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet your application's temperature range, contact finish, and compliance requirements. Verify that post length variations do not create PCB assembly conflicts when multiple part numbers are used in the same design.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 67997-618HT is supplied in tube packaging. Substitutes are available in bulk (5-146256-9, PBC09DAAN, PBC09DABN, PEC09DAAN) or bag (HTSW-109-07-S-D, TSW-109-07-F-D) packaging. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.
