Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-103164-4 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 102055-5. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMPMODU Mod II series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Advantage: The 5-103164-4 is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The 102055-5 is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation.

Compliance Advantage: The 5-103164-4 carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The 102055-5 status is listed as Not applicable, reflecting its obsolete classification.

Contact Finish Consideration: The 102055-5 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5-103164-4 features Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance for through-hole solder termination applications.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and material specifications are identical. The connectors are directly interchangeable in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102055-5 and 5-103164-4 physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), insulation height (0.361" / 9.17mm), and contact dimensions. They are directly interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part number.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: The 102055-5 uses Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5-103164-4 uses Tin post finish. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder reflow and wave soldering processes. Tin finish is preferred in RoHS-compliant applications and provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.
