TE Connectivity 100651-2 Quick Connect Female Terminal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 100651-2 is a 0.187" (4.75mm) Quick Connect Female crimp connector terminal designed for 15-20 AWG wire applications. This non-insulated Faston series terminal operates as a free-hanging in-line connector with brass contact material and tin finish. The part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling procurement flexibility and inventory optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 100651-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format variation while maintaining identical connector specifications.

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Tab width: 0.187" (4.75mm)
• Tab thickness: 0.020" (0.51mm)
• Tab length: 0.248" (6.30mm)
• Wire gauge range: 15-20 AWG
• Contact material: Brass with tin finish
• Termination method: Crimp
• Insulation configuration: Non-Insulated
• Gender: Female
• Series: Faston

The substitute part 5-160433-6 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number 100651-2. The sole difference between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both parts share identical base specifications and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 100651-2 and substitute part 5-160433-6 are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

100651-2 (Tape & Reel Packaging): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape and reel format enables continuous feed through pick-and-place equipment. This packaging format optimizes production throughput for large-scale manufacturing.

5-160433-6 (Cut Tape Packaging): Appropriate for lower-volume applications, prototype development, or situations requiring manual component handling. Cut tape format provides flexibility for smaller quantity requirements and manual assembly processes.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The choice between them depends solely on production methodology and packaging logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 100651-2 and 5-160433-6 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical specifications including contact material (brass with tin finish), wire gauge rating (15-20 AWG), and termination method (crimp). They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the only difference between these two part numbers?

A: The packaging format. The 100651-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the 5-160433-6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. All connector specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 5-160433-6 in place of 100651-2 in my assembly process?

A: Compatibility depends on your assembly equipment. If your process uses automated pick-and-place equipment designed for tape and reel format, the cut tape substitute requires manual feeding. If your process uses manual assembly or equipment compatible with cut tape, the substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 100651-2 and 5-160433-6 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What wire gauges do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are rated for 15-20 AWG wire. The insulation diameter range is 0.091" to 0.130" (2.31mm to 3.30mm).

Q: Are these terminals insulated or non-insulated?

A: Both are non-insulated terminals. The connector body itself provides no insulation; wire insulation must be managed separately in the application.

Q: What is the tab width specification for these connectors?

A: Both terminals feature a 0.187" (4.75mm) tab width, which is the standard Faston quick connect dimension for this connector class.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both tape and reel and cut tape formats. However, mixing packaging formats typically requires process adjustments and may impact production efficiency.
