Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Production Parts: The following substitute parts are in active production status and are recommended for new designs:

67996-172HLF, 67996-272HLF, 67997-172HLF, 67997-272HLF, 67997-472HLF, and 68602-172HLF are all active Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® II series connectors. These parts maintain full RoHS compliance and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among these active parts depends on contact post length requirements and contact finish specifications.

Contact Post Length Considerations:

0.095" (2.41mm) post length: 67996-172HLF, 67996-272HLF
0.120" (3.05mm) post length: 67997-172HLF, 67997-272HLF, 67997-472HLF
0.150" (3.81mm) post length: 68602-172HLF

Contact Finish Selection:

Gold finish (30.0µin): 67996-172HLF, 67997-172HLF, 68602-172HLF
Gold finish (15.0µin): 67996-272HLF, 67997-272HLF
Tin finish (100.0µin): 67997-472HLF

Obsolete Parts: 67997-572, 75844-101-72LF, 75844-150-72LF, and 75844-156-72LF are obsolete. These parts should not be selected for new designs. Existing designs using these parts should transition to active alternatives.

Temperature Range: The TSW-136-07-F-D operates to 125°C maximum. All listed Amphenol ICC (FCI) substitutes extend to 130°C maximum, providing additional thermal margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a 67997-172HLF for the TSW-136-07-F-D? A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (72), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination (solder). The primary difference is contact post length: 0.120" versus 0.100". This difference accommodates varying PCB thicknesses and assembly processes. Verify PCB hole depth compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 67997-172HLF and 67997-272HLF? A: Both parts are identical except for contact finish thickness on the mating surface. The 67997-172HLF has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while the 67997-272HLF has 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating. The thicker finish provides enhanced wear resistance for high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Why does 67997-472HLF have tin finish instead of gold? A: The 67997-472HLF uses tin plating on both mating and post surfaces, providing cost reduction and alternative contact characteristics. Tin finish is suitable for applications where gold plating is not required. Verify compatibility with mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: Are the obsolete parts (67997-572, 75844 series) still acceptable for new designs? A: No. Obsolete parts should not be used in new designs. Existing designs using these parts should transition to active alternatives such as 67997-172HLF, 67997-272HLF, or 67997-472HLF to ensure long-term supply availability and continued manufacturer support.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length variation? A: Contact post length determines the effective solder joint depth and accommodates different PCB thicknesses. Shorter posts (0.095") suit thinner PCBs, standard posts (0.100" to 0.120") cover typical applications, and longer posts (0.150") accommodate thicker PCBs or specific assembly requirements. Verify PCB specifications before selecting post length.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All active substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant. The TSW-136-07-F-D is ROHS3 compliant, while Amphenol ICC (FCI) substitutes are RoHS compliant. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: The TSW-136-07-F-D is supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC (FCI) substitutes are available in both bulk and bag packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences.
