Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Recommended for Legacy Support):

The 86964-345LF from Amphenol ICC is the direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part maintains compatibility with existing designs while offering active product status and RoHS compliance, making it the preferred choice for immediate replacement of obsolete 86964-345 units.

Alternative Substitutes (For New Designs and Enhanced Performance):

Samtec MTMM-110 series connectors provide functional alternatives with enhanced specifications suitable for new designs or performance upgrades. These parts maintain the critical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 20-position, 2-row configuration while offering:

Higher current rating (3A versus 2A)
Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
ROHS3 compliance for regulatory alignment
Active product status with robust inventory availability
Cuttable header design for flexible configuration

Selection by Contact Length Requirements:

The MTMM-110 series offers multiple contact length variants to accommodate different PCB thicknesses and application requirements:

MTMM-110-05-G-D-275 and MTMM-110-05-LM-D-285: Shortest post length (0.043" to 0.033") for thin PCB applications
MTMM-110-06-G-D-275: Moderate post length (0.063") for standard PCB thickness
MTMM-110-07-G-D-275, MTMM-110-07-S-D-280, MTMM-110-07-SM-D-275-020, MTMM-110-07-TM-D-275: Extended post length (0.117" to 0.122") for thicker PCB assemblies
MTMM-110-08-G-D-278: Longer post length (0.139") for applications requiring additional standoff
MTMM-110-09-G-D-275: Maximum post length (0.201") for maximum PCB clearance

Contact Finish Considerations:

Gold-plated mating contacts (MTMM-110-05-G-D-275, MTMM-110-06-G-D-275, MTMM-110-07-G-D-275, MTMM-110-08-G-D-278, MTMM-110-09-G-D-275) provide superior corrosion resistance and signal integrity, matching the original 86964-345 specification. Tin-plated alternatives (MTMM-110-07-TM-D-275) are acceptable for cost-sensitive applications with adequate environmental protection.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The 86964-345LF and all MTMM-110 variants are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new production. The original 86964-345 is RoHS non-compliant and should be phased out in favor of compliant alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace 86964-345 with 86964-345LF without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The 86964-345LF is a direct equivalent with identical pin configuration, pitch, and overall dimensions. No PCB layout changes are required. The primary difference is RoHS compliance and active product status.

Q: What is the main difference between Amphenol ICC 86964-345LF and Samtec MTMM-110 series?

A: Both maintain the critical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 20-position configuration. The MTMM-110 series offers higher current rating (3A versus 2A), extended operating temperature range, and cuttable header design. The 86964-345LF provides exact dimensional compatibility with the original obsolete part.

Q: Which MTMM-110 variant should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on PCB thickness and required standoff height. Measure the distance from your PCB surface to the mating connector interface. The contact length post values range from 0.033" (0.84mm) to 0.201" (5.11mm). Select the variant where the overall contact length accommodates your specific assembly requirements.

Q: Are Samtec MTMM-110 connectors compatible with the original 86964-345 mating connectors?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, and push-pull fastening type. Mating connectors designed for 86964-345 will interface with MTMM-110 headers without modification.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes in the MTMM-110 series?

A: Gold-plated mating contacts (20.0µin thickness) provide superior corrosion resistance and are recommended for applications with extended shelf life or harsh environments. Tin-plated contacts are acceptable for controlled environments and cost-sensitive applications. Both finishes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Can I use MTMM-110-07-SM-D-275-020 as a direct replacement if my design requires exactly 20 positions?

A: MTMM-110-07-SM-D-275-020 is loaded with 19 positions, not 20. This variant is suitable only if your application can accommodate 19 positions. For full 20-position compatibility, select MTMM-110-07-G-D-275, MTMM-110-07-S-D-280, or other variants specified with all positions loaded.

Q: What is the difference between MTMM-110-07-G-D-275 and MTMM-110-07-S-D-280?

A: Both have identical 20-position configuration and 0.122" (3.10mm) post length. MTMM-110-07-G-D-275 features gold mating contact finish (20.0µin) and gold post finish. MTMM-110-07-S-D-280 features gold mating contact finish (30.0µin) and tin post finish. The thicker gold plating on MTMM-110-07-S-D-280 provides enhanced durability.

Q: Are all MTMM-110 variants rated for the same current and voltage?

A: All MTMM-110 variants are rated for 3A current. Voltage rating is not specified for the MTMM-110 series in the provided data. The original 86964-345 is rated for 200V (AC/DC). Verify voltage requirements with application specifications before selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for MTMM-110-07-TM-D-275?

A: MTMM-110-07-TM-D-275 operates from -55°C to 105°C, which is narrower than other MTMM-110 variants (-55°C to 125°C). This variant is suitable for applications not requiring the extended upper temperature limit.
