Amphenol ICC 69193-108 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 69193-108 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle configuration, with 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole component is part of the BERGSTIK® II series and is designed for board-to-board applications. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 69193-108 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Style: Board to Board
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The two qualified substitutes—Harwin Inc. M20-9740442 and Sullins Connector Solutions PBC04DBBN—maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status and improved compliance profiles compared to the obsolete 69193-108.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both M20-9740442 and PBC04DBBN are qualified substitutes for the obsolete 69193-108. Selection between them depends on application-specific requirements:

Harwin Inc. M20-9740442 is recommended for applications requiring a cuttable header design with standard operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). This part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and is available in bulk packaging. The brass contact material and gold mating finish provide reliable electrical performance.

Sullins Connector Solutions PBC04DBBN is recommended for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) or breakaway header functionality. This part features phosphor bronze contacts matching the original 69193-108 material composition and offers ROHS3 compliance. The extended temperature range and higher current rating (3A) provide additional design margin for demanding applications.

Both substitutes maintain the critical mechanical and electrical parameters of the original part: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 8-position 2-row configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliance status of the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M20-9740442 and PBC04DBBN be used interchangeably with 69193-108?

A: Both parts maintain the core mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 8 positions in 2 rows, right-angle through-hole mounting, and square contact geometry. Minor variations in contact length and insulation height fall within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board applications. Verify PCB footprint compatibility before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between "cuttable" and "breakaway" header designs?

A: Cuttable headers (M20-9740442) allow individual positions to be separated by cutting. Breakaway headers (PBC04DBBN) feature perforated sections designed for clean separation without cutting. Both configurations maintain electrical and mechanical integrity after separation.

Q: Why are both substitute parts ROHS3 compliant while the original is not?

A: The 69193-108 is an obsolete part manufactured before current ROHS3 requirements were implemented. Active substitute parts are manufactured to current regulatory standards, including ROHS3 compliance, which restricts hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the substitutes?

A: M20-9740442 uses brass contacts, while PBC04DBBN uses phosphor bronze. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and contact reliability for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. Phosphor bronze (PBC04DBBN) matches the original 69193-108 material composition.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: M20-9740442 operates from -40°C to 105°C, while PBC04DBBN operates from -65°C to 125°C. Select based on application environment. Extended temperature range (PBC04DBBN) provides design margin for industrial or automotive applications subject to extreme thermal conditions.

Q: How do the contact post lengths differ, and does this affect compatibility?

A: The original 69193-108 has 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, M20-9740442 has 0.118" (3.00mm), and PBC04DBBN has 0.200" (5.08mm). Post length affects solder joint formation and PCB hole depth requirements. Verify PCB design accommodates the selected substitute's post length before assembly.

Q: Are both substitutes available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original 69193-108 packaging is not specified. Both M20-9740442 and PBC04DBBN are available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements and lead times with suppliers for production planning.
