TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102154-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102154-7 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded, 30-position connector operates in the AMP-Latch series and features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration with male pin contacts. The connector is classified as Active product status and is suitable for board-to-cable/wire interconnection applications requiring push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format variations and compliance requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102154-7 and 5102154-7 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical connector characteristics:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type, pitch, and mating configuration
• Current rating and operating temperature range
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Shrouding design and fastening mechanism

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions and row configuration
• Through-hole mounting geometry
• Overall contact length and insulation height
• Keying slot and mounting flange features

Substitution Basis: The primary difference between these parts is packaging format (Bulk versus Tray) and compliance status. Both parts are Active product status and share identical connector geometry, electrical performance, and functional characteristics. The substitute part 5102154-7 differs in RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant) and REACH classification, while maintaining full electrical and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

102154-7 (Bulk Packaging): This configuration is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material status does not present regulatory constraints. The bulk packaging format is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments with established material handling and inventory systems.

5102154-7 (Tray Packaging): This configuration is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material status. The tray packaging format provides enhanced component protection during storage and transportation. Selection of this part is required for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements or where REACH compliance is mandated.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and thermal operating characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements, regulatory compliance obligations, and material sourcing constraints rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 102154-7 and 5102154-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including contact type, pitch, current rating, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications. Electrical performance is equivalent across all operating conditions within the specified temperature range.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk versus Tray) and compliance status. The 102154-7 is supplied in bulk packaging and is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5102154-7 is supplied in tray packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical.

Q: Can I substitute 5102154-7 for 102154-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5102154-7 is a direct substitute for 102154-7 with no design modifications required. All mechanical mounting dimensions, electrical characteristics, and connector geometry are identical. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in board layouts and cable assemblies.

Q: Does the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin affect compatibility?

A: Both contact finish specifications meet the same electrical and mechanical performance requirements. The post contact finish difference does not affect mating performance, current carrying capacity, or operating temperature range. Selection between these finishes is determined by soldering process compatibility and environmental exposure requirements.

Q: What packaging format should I select for high-volume production?

A: Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements. Bulk packaging (102154-7) is suitable for automated pick-and-place systems with bulk component feeders. Tray packaging (5102154-7) is suitable for component handling systems designed for tray-based component presentation and is recommended where component protection during storage and transport is prioritized.

Q: Are there any restrictions on using the ROHS3 compliant version in non-RoHS applications?

A: No. The ROHS3 compliant part (5102154-7) is suitable for all applications, including those without RoHS requirements. ROHS3 compliance is a superset of non-compliant material specifications and does not restrict use in any application category.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH status difference?

A: REACH-Affected status (102154-7) indicates the part contains substances subject to REACH regulation. REACH-Unaffected status (5102154-7) indicates the part does not contain regulated substances. Selection of the REACH-unaffected part is required for applications subject to REACH compliance obligations or where supply chain documentation of substance compliance is mandated.
