Amphenol ICC 69167-108 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69167-108 is an 8-position vertical header connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole mounting with solder termination. This connector is part of the Mini-PV™ Basics+ series and features shrouded 2-wall design with friction lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1044 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the connector footprint and contact configuration remain unchanged.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 69167-108 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of positions (8)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Variations in shrouding design, fastening mechanism, contact length, insulation height, and contact finish specifications are permitted within the substitute group, as these parameters do not affect the fundamental mating interface or board-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

69167-108HLF (Amphenol ICC) is the direct equivalent substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part while offering improved RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant). Selection of this variant is appropriate when RoHS compliance is a design requirement.

0022112082 (Molex KK254 Series) is a functional substitute with the following considerations: Contact length specifications differ (0.295" mating vs. 0.230"), resulting in increased overall contact length (0.560" vs. 0.465"). Insulation height is reduced (0.322" vs. 0.386"). Shrouding is single-wall versus two-wall. Contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. This part achieves ROHS3 compliance and maintains higher inventory availability (19380 units).

103638-7 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE Series) is a functional substitute with the following considerations: Shrouding is four-wall design versus two-wall. Fastening mechanism is latch holder rather than friction lock. Insulation height is significantly increased (0.535" vs. 0.386"). Contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. Contact finish thickness is reduced (15.0µin vs. 30.0µin). This part includes keying slot feature and is packaged in tube format rather than bulk. RoHS status is not applicable.

Selection between substitutes depends on design constraints related to shrouding geometry, fastening mechanism compatibility, contact length requirements, and regulatory compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 69167-108HLF be used as a direct replacement for 69167-108?

A: Yes. The 69167-108HLF maintains identical pitch (0.100"), position count (8), contact configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The primary difference is improved RoHS compliance status. Physical dimensions and electrical characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between the Molex 0022112082 and the Amphenol 69167-108?

A: The Molex part features single-wall shrouding versus two-wall, longer contact mating length (0.295" vs. 0.230"), reduced insulation height (0.322" vs. 0.386"), and brass contact material instead of phosphor bronze. Pitch, position count, and mounting type remain identical. The Molex part achieves ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 103638-7 be used in place of the Amphenol 69167-108?

A: Functional substitution is possible with design verification. The TE part features four-wall shrouding, latch holder fastening (versus friction lock), significantly increased insulation height (0.535" vs. 0.386"), and includes keying slot feature. These geometric differences may affect board layout compatibility and mating interface behavior. Pitch and position count are identical.

Q: What is the impact of different contact materials on connector performance?

A: The main part uses phosphor bronze contacts; substitutes use brass. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for standard applications. Contact finish specifications (gold plating thickness) vary across parts and influence corrosion resistance and contact resistance characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Amphenol parts (69167-108 and 69167-108HLF) are supplied in bulk packaging. The TE Connectivity 103638-7 is supplied in tube packaging. The Molex 0022112082 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality but may influence handling and storage procedures.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Standard warehouse conditions are acceptable.
