TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102154-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102154-9 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded, 40-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and accommodates board-to-cable/wire connections with male pin contacts. The connector is classified as Active product status and is suitable for applications requiring reliable solder termination with push-pull fastening. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific manufacturing specifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 102154-9 and the equivalent part 5102154-9 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. Both connectors share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters for Substitution Compatibility:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (40 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and termination type (Through Hole, Solder)
• Shrouding design and fastening mechanism (Shrouded - 4 Wall, Push-Pull)
• Contact dimensions (Mating length 0.240", Post length 0.110", Overall 0.639")
• Insulation specifications (Height 0.549", Black color)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Current rating (1A per Contact)
• Flammability and moisture sensitivity ratings (UL94 V-0, MSL 1)

The substitute part 5102154-9 maintains full compatibility with the original 102154-9 across all mechanical interfaces and electrical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 102154-9 and 5102154-9 are functionally equivalent rectangular connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance and regulatory requirements:

102154-9 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable
• Designs where REACH-affected materials are permissible
• Existing inventory or supply chain continuity

5102154-9 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Designs requiring REACH-unaffected materials
• New designs or systems with strict environmental regulations
• Higher inventory availability (1559 Pcs vs. 1067 Pcs)

The contact finish difference on the post (Tin-Lead vs. Tin) does not affect functional compatibility, as both finishes provide equivalent solder joint performance and current-carrying capacity at the specified 1A per contact rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102154-9 and 5102154-9 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting interfaces, and shrouding design. They are direct mechanical substitutes with no modifications required for PCB layout or mating connector design.

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

A: The primary differences are compliance certifications and contact finish specifications. The 5102154-9 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH-unaffected, while the 102154-9 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. The post contact finish differs (Tin vs. Tin-Lead), but both provide equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Can I use the 5102154-9 as a direct replacement for the 102154-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5102154-9 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 102154-9 across all functional parameters. No design modifications are required.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect current-carrying capacity?

A: No. Both Tin and Tin-Lead finishes on the post contacts support the specified 1A per contact rating. The mating contact finish (Gold or Gold-Palladium) is identical on both parts.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 5102154-9 is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status, which align with current environmental regulations and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature or current limitations that differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and support the same current rating (1A per Contact).

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. These connectors can be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging or time-to-use restrictions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 105°C, supporting industrial and commercial high-reliability applications.
