Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 102106-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact type: Socket
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Wire gauge range: 22-26 AWG
• Contact finish material: Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance status: Compliant

The substitute part 47565-002LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) satisfies all mandatory parameters. Both components are socket contacts with crimp termination, rated for identical wire gauge ranges, feature gold plating, and maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings. Both parts comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring regulatory compatibility in restricted substance applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 47565-002LF serves as a direct functional substitute for the discontinued TE Connectivity 102106-2. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for socket contact applications in the 22-26 AWG range with gold plating.

Product Status Consideration: The 47565-002LF maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the discontinued 102106-2.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The 47565-002LF is REACH Affected, whereas the 102106-2 is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations require evaluation of this distinction.

Contact Finish Thickness Variance: The 47565-002LF provides 40.0µin (1.02µm) gold plating thickness compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the 102106-2. The increased thickness on the substitute part provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in extended-life applications.

Packaging Availability: The 47565-002LF is available in both Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging formats, accommodating both manual assembly and automated production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 47565-002LF directly replace the TE Connectivity 102106-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts with crimp termination, rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges, and feature gold plating. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established through matching contact type, termination method, wire gauge range, and contact finish material.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between the two parts?

A: The 47565-002LF provides 40.0µin (1.02µm) gold plating compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the 102106-2. Increased plating thickness enhances contact durability, reduces wear during mating cycles, and improves corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions. This represents an improvement over the original specification.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from the 102106-2 to the 47565-002LF?

A: Yes. The 47565-002LF is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) formats. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process. Cut Tape packaging suits manual or low-volume assembly, while Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment.

Q: How do the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses differ between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 102106-2 is REACH Unaffected, while the 47565-002LF is REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations must confirm that the substitute part meets specific regulatory requirements for your end-use application and geographic market.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both components?

A: Both the 102106-2 and 47565-002LF carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are both parts suitable for crimp termination with standard tooling?

A: Both components feature crimp termination for 22-26 AWG wire. Verify that your existing crimp tooling is compatible with the 47565-002LF contact geometry and dimensions, as connector series differences may require tooling adjustments or validation.
