TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-9 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This shrouded 40-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-cable/wire interconnections with a 1A per contact current rating at 250VAC. The connector features male pin contacts with gold or gold-palladium mating finish and tin-lead post finish, suitable for applications requiring push-pull fastening and keying slot functionality. As an active product with established inventory availability, substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options for procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute for TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102159-9 is identified as 5102159-9, also manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the same AMP-Latch series.

Substitution validity is established through matching of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (40)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (1A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold or Gold-Palladium)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Features (Keying Slot, Mounting Flange)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Insulation height (0.315" / 8.00mm)
• Contact length - mating (0.240" / 6.10mm)
• Contact length - post (0.110" / 2.79mm)
• Insulation color (Black)

The substitute part 5102159-9 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the primary part 102159-9 across all specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the primary part 102159-9 and substitute part 5102159-9 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Selection between these parts is based on product availability, compliance status, and supply chain considerations.

The primary part 102159-9 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status and "REACH Affected" designation. The substitute part 5102159-9 is ROHS3 Compliant and carries "REACH Unaffected" status, providing enhanced regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS3 and REACH requirements.

The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: 102159-9 features tin-lead finish, while 5102159-9 features tin finish. Both finishes maintain the specified 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness and are compatible with solder termination processes.

Current inventory levels show 1061 pieces of 102159-9 and 1762 pieces of 5102159-9 available as new original stock, supporting procurement flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 102159-9 and 5102159-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 1A per contact current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The contact finish difference (tin-lead versus tin) does not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these parts?

A: Part 102159-9 uses tin-lead finish on the post, while part 5102159-9 uses tin finish. Both maintain 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. The mating contact finish (gold or gold-palladium) is identical on both parts.

Q: Can I use 5102159-9 as a direct replacement for 102159-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent across all specified parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and performance ratings.

Q: What are the compliance differences between these parts?

A: Part 102159-9 is not RoHS3 compliant and is REACH affected. Part 5102159-9 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: Do both parts use the same mating interface?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 40-position, 2-row configuration with shrouded 4-wall design and push-pull fastening. They are mechanically compatible with the same mating connectors.

Q: What is the through-hole mounting configuration for these headers?

A: Both parts are right-angle through-hole headers with solder termination. The contact post length is 0.110" (2.79mm), and the insulation height is 0.315" (8.00mm).

Q: Are keying features present on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts include keying slot and mounting flange features for proper alignment and mechanical stability during board assembly.
