Amphenol ICC 69167-107 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69167-107 is a shrouded vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 7-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with friction lock fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 69167-107 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified is the 69167-107HLF, which maintains identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters for Substitution Validation:

• Connector type, contact type, and position count (7-position, 1-row, male pin header)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Shrouding configuration (shrouded 2-wall design)
• Contact geometry and material (square phosphor bronze with gold finish)
• Physical dimensions (contact length, insulation height, overall length)
• Flammability and moisture sensitivity ratings

The 69167-107HLF differs from the main part only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (bulk versus standard), with no impact on form, fit, or function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69167-107HLF is the direct functional equivalent of the 69167-107. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and procurement requirements rather than technical performance:

For new designs and ongoing production: The 69167-107HLF is the appropriate choice. This part maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The part achieves RoHS compliance and is designated as REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

For legacy system maintenance: The 69167-107 remains available in limited inventory (988 pieces) if exact historical part number matching is required for documentation or traceability purposes. However, the 69167-107HLF provides superior long-term availability with 2649 pieces in stock and active manufacturing status.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including contact geometry, pitch, shrouding configuration, and termination method. Substitution introduces no functional risk or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 69167-107HLF be used as a direct replacement for the 69167-107 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 69167-107HLF is dimensionally and functionally identical to the 69167-107 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts feature identical 7-position, 0.100" pitch shrouded headers with male pin contacts, solder termination, and friction lock fastening. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the 69167-107 and 69167-107HLF?

A: The parts differ in three non-functional aspects: product status (obsolete versus active), packaging format (standard versus bulk), and regulatory compliance (RoHS non-compliant versus RoHS compliant). All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the 69167-107 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence status indicates that Amphenol ICC has transitioned manufacturing to the 69167-107HLF variant. The 69167-107HLF provides equivalent functionality with improved regulatory compliance and active supply chain support.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 69167-107HLF for the 69167-107?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are from the same Mini-PV™ Basics+ series, share identical mating pitch (0.100"), shrouding design (2-wall), and contact specifications. Mating connectors and cable assemblies designed for the 69167-107 are fully compatible with the 69167-107HLF.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this connector?

A: RoHS compliance indicates that the 69167-107HLF meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, limiting the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other restricted materials. The 69167-107 is RoHS non-compliant, meaning it may contain these substances. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 69167-107HLF is the required choice.

Q: Does packaging format affect the connector's performance?

A: No. Bulk packaging (69167-107HLF) and standard packaging (69167-107) do not affect connector performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical function. Packaging format is a procurement and logistics consideration only.
