Packaging Variation: The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: 102155-8 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 5102155-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects inventory management and procurement processes but does not alter functional or mechanical compatibility.

Compliance Variation: 102155-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. 5102155-8 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements of the end application.

Contact Finish Variation: 102155-8 specifies Tin-Lead finish on the post. 5102155-8 specifies Tin finish on the post. Both maintain identical contact finish specifications for mating surfaces (Gold or Gold-Palladium) and identical thickness specifications (100.0µin / 2.54µm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Applications with RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Select TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5102155-8. This part is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for applications subject to European Union directives and equivalent international standards.

For Applications without RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Either TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102155-8 or 5102155-8 is suitable. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability.

For Tray Packaging Requirements: Select TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102155-8. This part is supplied in Tray packaging format.

For Bulk Packaging Requirements: Select TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5102155-8. This part is supplied in Bulk packaging format.

Contact Finish Consideration: The post contact finish difference (Tin-Lead versus Tin) does not affect functional compatibility. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications and are suitable for solder termination applications. Selection between these finishes is determined by application-specific soldering process requirements and environmental exposure conditions.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating ranges. Both are Active product status from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are suitable for board-to-cable/wire interconnection applications requiring 34-position, 2-row through-hole headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.
