Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 102153-9 and the equivalent part 5102153-9 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both connectors share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics: 40-position configuration, 2-row layout, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall design, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The contact configuration, mating contact length (0.240"), post length (0.110"), overall contact length (0.639"), and insulation height (0.549") are identical. Both connectors feature square contact shapes, gold or gold-palladium mating contact finish at 15.0µin thickness, and 1A per contact current rating. The primary distinction between these parts relates to post contact finish material and compliance certifications rather than functional or dimensional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 102153-9 and 5102153-9 connectors are classified as Active products and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters. The 102153-9 is designated as Not applicable for RoHS status and REACH Affected. The 5102153-9 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS and REACH regulatory requirements. The post contact finish differs between the two parts: 102153-9 features Tin-Lead finish while 5102153-9 features Tin finish. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications of 100.0µin (2.54µm). Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and post contact finish material specifications applicable to the end application. Both connectors support identical current ratings, operating temperature ranges, and mechanical configurations.
