Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 67998-100H based on core connector geometry, pitch, row configuration, and mounting characteristics. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Active Product Status: Parts 146853-1, 146861-1, and 146871-1 are classified as Active with current manufacturer support and availability. Part 5-146853-1 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and represents a legacy option with limited future availability.

RoHS Compliance: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original 67998-100H does not meet. This compliance status is critical for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Current Rating Consideration: The substitute parts are rated at 3A, compared to the original part's 5A rating. Applications requiring the full 5A capacity must evaluate whether the reduced current rating is acceptable for the intended circuit design.

Contact Finish Options: The substitutes offer three contact finish configurations: Tin-Lead (146853-1), Gold (146861-1 and 146871-1), and Tin (5-146853-1). Selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance, solderability, and environmental exposure.

Contact Post Length: Substitute parts feature a 0.115" (2.92mm) post length compared to the original 0.107" (2.71mm), resulting in a 0.008" (0.21mm) difference in overall contact length. This minor dimensional variation is within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts mechanically compatible with the 67998-100H?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact shape (square), insulation height (0.100" / 2.54mm), and mounting type (through-hole solder). The contact post length difference of 0.008" is within standard PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the primary difference in current rating between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 67998-100H is rated at 5A, while all substitute parts are rated at 3A. Applications operating at currents between 3A and 5A must be evaluated to determine if the reduced rating is acceptable.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either 146853-1, 146861-1, or 146871-1 are recommended as they are all Active products with current manufacturer support. Selection among these three should be based on contact finish requirements: Tin-Lead (146853-1), Gold with 15.0µin thickness (146861-1), or Gold with 30.0µin thickness (146871-1).

Q: Why is the 5-146853-1 not recommended as a primary substitute?

A: Part 5-146853-1 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability and potential supply chain constraints. While mechanically and electrically compatible, it should only be considered when specific design requirements mandate its use.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 67998-100H is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance is essential for applications subject to RoHS directives.

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

A: All substitute parts operate across -65°C to 105°C, providing a defined thermal operating window. The original part does not specify an operating temperature range.

Q: Can the substitute parts be used in board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are classified as Header, Breakaway type connectors suitable for both board-to-board and cable applications, providing design flexibility beyond the original part's board-to-board specification.
