TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102156-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102156-6 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded, 26-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 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 102156-6 and 5102156-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 26
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Current Rating: 1A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Height: 0.549" (13.94mm)
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.240" (6.10mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.155" (3.94mm)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.684" (17.37mm)

Certification Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format (Tray versus Bulk) and compliance status, with minor variations in post-termination finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102156-6 and 5102156-6 are Active product status components that satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 26-position, 2.54mm pitch header applications. The parts are functionally interchangeable for through-hole solder termination in board-to-cable/wire configurations.

Compliance Considerations:

The 5102156-6 substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status, whereas the 102156-6 main part is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. Applications subject to RoHS directives require the 5102156-6 variant.

Packaging Considerations:

The 102156-6 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 5102156-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements rather than functional performance.

Contact Finish Specification:

The post-termination contact finish differs between parts: 102156-6 specifies Tin-Lead, while 5102156-6 specifies Tin. Both finishes maintain equivalent contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with solder termination processes. The mating contact finish remains identical across both parts (Gold or Gold-Palladium at 30.0µin).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102156-6 and 5102156-6 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at identical voltage (250VAC) and current (1A per Contact) ratings across the same operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C). The 26-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is identical in both parts.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Tray versus Bulk) and RoHS compliance status. The 5102156-6 is RoHS Compliant, while the 102156-6 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Q: Can I substitute 5102156-6 for 102156-6 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is mechanically and electrically valid. However, if the original design specifies 102156-6 for non-RoHS applications, regulatory compliance must be verified before substitution. Conversely, RoHS-regulated applications require the 5102156-6 variant.

Q: Does the contact finish difference (Tin-Lead versus Tin) affect performance?

A: The post-termination contact finish difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are compatible with standard solder termination processes. The mating contact finish (Gold or Gold-Palladium) is identical in both parts.

Q: Which packaging format should I select?

A: Packaging selection (Tray for 102156-6 versus Bulk for 5102156-6) is determined by procurement quantity, inventory management practices, and handling requirements. Both packaging formats contain the same connector component.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts carry Active product status. Inventory availability should be confirmed with the supplier, as stock levels vary.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040. RoHS and REACH compliance status differs between the two parts as specified in the parameter comparison table.
