Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC 69133-672

The 69133-672 is the direct active-status successor within the BERGSTIK® II series. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 69133-172 while offering current product availability and support. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without modification. However, note that the 69133-672 is RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Secondary Recommendation: Preci-Dip 450 Series (450-10-272-00-013101, 450-80-272-00-001101, 450-V3-272-00-006101)

The Preci-Dip 450 series provides ROHS3-compliant alternatives with identical position count, pitch, and mounting configuration. These parts feature circular contacts and brass material instead of square phosphor bronze contacts. The 450-10-272-00-013101 variant offers gold finish with 10.0µin thickness and 150VDC rating. The 450-80-272-00-001101 provides tin finish contacts. The 450-V3-272-00-006101 combines gold mating finish with tin post finish. All three variants support 3A current rating and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. Selection among these variants depends on specific contact finish and voltage requirements.

Tertiary Recommendation: Samtec Flex Stack MTLW Series (MTLW-136-07-F-D-230, MTLW-136-07-H-D-230, MTLW-136-07-L-D-230)

The MTLW series offers enhanced current capacity (5.2A per contact) with square phosphor bronze contacts matching the original contact geometry. These parts feature LCP insulation material and reduced insulation height (0.060" versus 0.100"). ROHS3 compliance is provided. The MTLW-136-07-F-D-230 features gold mating finish with tin post finish. The MTLW-136-07-H-D-230 provides gold finish on both mating and post surfaces. The MTLW-136-07-L-D-230 offers gold mating finish with tin post finish and 10.0µin thickness. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C. These variants are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or where board space constraints favor reduced insulation height.

Quaternary Recommendation: Samtec TD Series (TD-136-G-A, TD-136-G-A-1, TD-136-G-A-2)

The TD series provides screw machine contact alternatives with gold finish (20.0µin thickness) and ROHS3 compliance. These parts maintain 72-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" pitch and through-hole solder termination. The TD series is suitable for applications where screw machine contact reliability is preferred. All three variants (TD-136-G-A, TD-136-G-A-1, TD-136-G-A-2) share identical specifications and are interchangeable.

Compliance Considerations:

The original 69133-172 and its direct successor 69133-672 are both RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS3 requirements, the Preci-Dip 450 series, Samtec MTLW series, and Samtec TD series all provide ROHS3-compliant alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the Amphenol ICC 69133-672 be used as a direct replacement for the 69133-172?

A: Yes. The 69133-672 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 72 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.100" pitch, square phosphor bronze contacts, and 3A current rating. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant. The primary difference is product status: the 69133-172 is obsolete while the 69133-672 is active.

Q2: What are the key differences between Preci-Dip 450 series variants?

A: The three Preci-Dip variants differ in contact finish composition and thickness. The 450-10-272-00-013101 features gold mating finish (10.0µin) with gold post finish. The 450-80-272-00-001101 provides tin finish on both mating and post surfaces. The 450-V3-272-00-006101 combines gold mating finish (29.5µin) with tin post finish. All three maintain identical position count, pitch, and current rating (3A). Contact shape is circular rather than square.

Q3: Why do Samtec MTLW parts have higher current ratings than the original 69133-172?

A: The MTLW series is designed with enhanced contact geometry and phosphor bronze material optimized for higher current capacity (5.2A per contact versus 3A). This increased rating is a design feature of the MTLW series and does not affect compatibility in applications requiring 3A or less.

Q4: Are there mechanical compatibility issues when substituting circular-contact Preci-Dip parts for square-contact Amphenol parts?

A: Contact shape (circular versus square) does not affect mechanical compatibility in standard board-to-board applications. Both geometries maintain the same pitch spacing (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and mounting footprint. Contact shape differences are internal to the connector and do not impact PCB layout or mating connector selection.

Q5: What is the significance of the reduced insulation height in Samtec MTLW parts?

A: The MTLW series features 0.060" insulation height compared to 0.100" in the original 69133-172. This reduced height enables lower overall connector profile, which is beneficial in space-constrained applications. The reduced height does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch mating connectors.

Q6: Which substitute part offers the best RoHS3 compliance with closest specification match to the original?

A: The Preci-Dip 450-10-272-00-013101 provides ROHS3 compliance with specifications most closely aligned to the 69133-172, including identical position count, pitch, row spacing, current rating (3A), and mounting configuration. The primary differences are circular contact shape and brass material instead of square phosphor bronze contacts.

Q7: Can TD series screw machine contacts be used interchangeably with the original pin contacts?

A: Yes, within the constraints of mating connector compatibility. The TD series maintains identical 72-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" pitch and through-hole solder termination. Screw machine contacts provide different mechanical engagement characteristics compared to standard pin contacts, but are functionally compatible with standard rectangular connector receptacles designed for 0.100" pitch headers.

Q8: What is the operating temperature limitation when substituting Preci-Dip or Samtec parts?

A: Preci-Dip 450 series and Samtec MTLW series are rated for -55°C to 125°C, compared to the original 69133-172 rating of -65°C to 130°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 130°C range, the Amphenol 69133-672 maintains the original temperature specification.

Q9: Are all substitute parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are available in bulk packaging. The original 69133-172 was supplied in bulk packaging. Samtec TD series parts are supplied in tube packaging, which is a standard alternative to bulk for through-hole components.

Q10: Which substitute part is recommended for new RoHS3-compliant designs?

A: For new designs requiring ROHS3 compliance, the Preci-Dip 450 series (particularly 450-10-272-00-013101), Samtec MTLW series, or Samtec TD series are all suitable. Selection depends on specific requirements: Preci-Dip for standard current (3A) applications, MTLW for higher current capacity (5.2A), and TD for screw machine contact preference. All three options maintain the critical 72-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch configuration.
