TE Connectivity 100669-1 Backplane Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 100669-1 is a 175-position header connector with male pins, designed for backplane applications using 2.00mm pitch press-fit termination. This connector features 125 signal positions plus 50 dedicated ground positions across a 5+2 row configuration, rated for 1.5A per contact at 500Vrms.

The 100669-1 carries an obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current manufacturing availability and updated compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 100669-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Z-PACK series. The substitute part 5100669-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical selection criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Current rating: 1.5 A
• Voltage rating: 500Vrms
• Contact finish and thickness: Gold, 30.0µin (0.76µm)

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Position count: 175 (125 + 50 Ground)
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Row configuration: 5 + 2
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Connector style: B 25

Environmental Parameters (Identical):

• Operating temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), packaging format (Tube), and compliance certifications, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement in all applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5100669-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 100669-1 based on complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for the following reasons:

Product Status: The 100669-1 is classified as obsolete, limiting long-term availability. The 5100669-1 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory of 2300 units, ensuring supply continuity for production and design requirements.

Compliance Certifications: The 5100669-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new equipment designs and manufacturing in restricted substance environments. The 100669-1 is RoHS non-compliant and carries REACH Affected status, which may present regulatory constraints for certain applications and markets.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings are identical between the two parts. The connector maintains the same 175-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, press-fit termination, and thermal operating range across both variants.

Packaging: The 5100669-1 is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for high-pin-count connectors and compatible with automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5100669-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 100669-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5100669-1 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 100669-1. All pin configurations, pitch spacing, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature ranges are equivalent. The connector will function identically in backplane applications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 100669-1 to 5100669-1?

A: The 100669-1 is obsolete, which restricts future availability and manufacturing support. The 5100669-1 is an active product with current inventory and ongoing production, ensuring supply reliability for new designs and ongoing production runs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 5100669-1 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 100669-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 5100669-1 is the appropriate selection. The 100669-1 carries REACH Affected status; the 5100669-1 status is Vendor Undefined.

Q: Does the packaging format affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. The 5100669-1 is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for backplane connectors and compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the pin counts and position configurations identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 175 total positions (125 signal + 50 ground) arranged in a 5+2 row configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch. The connector style (B 25) and position loading are identical.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 100669-1 and 5100669-1 are rated for 1.5A per contact at 500Vrms. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C for both parts.

Q: Is the contact finish specification the same?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with a finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
