Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 826469-7 and Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF connectors are active products with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for 14-position 2.54mm pitch header applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance and Certifications:

• Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements
• TE Connectivity 826469-7 carries ROHS3 Compliant status
• Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF carries RoHS Compliant status
• Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected respectively
• Both parts are EAR99 classified for export control purposes

Physical Dimensions:

• Contact post length differs by 0.006" (0.15mm): TE 0.126" versus Amphenol 0.120"
• Insulation height differs by 0.008" (0.20mm): TE 0.394" versus Amphenol 0.386"
• These dimensional variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for through-hole PCB applications

Fastening Mechanism:

• TE Connectivity 826469-7 uses Latch Holder fastening
• Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF uses Friction Lock fastening
• Both mechanisms provide secure mating in board-to-board or cable applications

Contact Finish:

• TE Connectivity 826469-7 specifies 3.90µin (0.099µm) gold plating
• Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating
• The Amphenol part provides thicker gold plating for enhanced contact durability

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 14-position 2.54mm pitch through-hole header connectors with solder termination and shrouded design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF directly replace the TE Connectivity 826469-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole), and termination type (solder). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different fastening types (Latch Holder versus Friction Lock)?

A: Latch Holder and Friction Lock are both positive engagement mechanisms that secure mated connectors. Latch Holder uses a mechanical latch feature, while Friction Lock relies on contact pressure. Both provide reliable mating retention in stationary applications. Selection depends on application-specific requirements for mating force and unmating procedure.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The TE Connectivity 826469-7 has an insulation height of 0.394" (10.00mm) compared to 0.386" (9.80mm) for the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF, a difference of 0.008" (0.20mm). Contact post length differs by 0.006" (0.15mm). These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not require layout modifications for typical applications.

Q: What is the difference in gold plating thickness between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 826469-7 specifies 3.90µin (0.099µm) gold plating on mating contacts, while the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm). The thicker plating on the Amphenol part provides enhanced resistance to wear and corrosion in high-cycle mating applications or harsh environments.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 826469-7 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF is RoHS Compliant. Both meet the requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance in electronic equipment manufacturing.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 826469-7 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Operating temperature information for the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF was not provided in the available specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Both connectors are active products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels, indicating suitability for standard industrial and commercial applications. Application-specific reliability requirements should be evaluated against the detailed specifications of each connector series.

Q: What inventory availability should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 826469-7 has 917 pieces in stock, while the Amphenol ICC 69168-114HLF has 1303 pieces in stock. Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions for high-volume production or time-sensitive projects.
