TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-2 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This shrouded 14-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-cable/wire interconnections with push-pull fastening. The connector is classified as Active product status and is suitable for applications requiring reliable solder termination with gold or gold-palladium mating contact finish.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative stock sources while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-2 and its substitute 5102159-2 share identical specifications in the following key areas:

Electrical Parameters: Current Rating (1A per Contact), Voltage Rating (250VAC), and Operating Temperature Range (-65°C ~ 105°C) are identical across both parts.

Mechanical Parameters: Number of Positions (14), Number of Rows (2), Pitch - Mating (0.100"/2.54mm), Row Spacing - Mating (0.100"/2.54mm), Mounting Type (Through Hole, Right Angle), Shrouding (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and Fastening Type (Push-Pull) are identical.

Contact Specifications: Contact Type (Male Pin), Contact Shape (Square), Contact Length - Mating (0.240"/6.10mm), Contact Length - Post (0.110"/2.79mm), Insulation Height (0.315"/8.00mm), and Contact Material (Brass) are identical.

Environmental & Compliance: Material Flammability Rating (UL94 V-0), Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and ECCN (EAR99) are identical.

The substitute part 5102159-2 is classified as ROHS3 Compliant, whereas the primary part 102159-2 lists RoHS Status as Not applicable. Both parts maintain Active product status and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMP-Latch series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-2 and 5102159-2 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 14-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connector header applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is the RoHS compliance status. The substitute part 5102159-2 is ROHS3 Compliant, while the primary part 102159-2 is listed as Not applicable for RoHS Status. Additionally, the contact finish on the post differs: 102159-2 specifies Tin-Lead, while 5102159-2 specifies Tin only.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and compliance mandates applicable to the end application. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, part 5102159-2 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance requirements, either part is suitable based on availability and inventory considerations.
