TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102160-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102160-5 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This shrouded 24-position connector operates within the -65°C to 105°C temperature range and is rated for 250VAC at 1A per contact. The part is currently active in production with 966 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, compliance requirements, and manufacturing continuity across different procurement channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 102160-5 and the equivalent part 5102160-5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMP-Latch series. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical substitution criteria:

Key Parameters for Substitution Compatibility:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (24 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting orientation and method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage and current ratings (250VAC, 1A per Contact)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Contact geometry and material (Square, Brass)
• Mating contact finish and thickness (Gold or Gold-Palladium, 30.0µin)
• Post contact finish thickness (100.0µin)

The parts differ only in post contact finish material (Tin-Lead versus Tin) and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 102160-5 and 5102160-5 are active production parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are functionally equivalent for standard applications requiring a 24-position, 2-row, right-angle header connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance and Status:

The 5102160-5 substitute part is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the main part 102160-5 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements, the 5102160-5 is the appropriate selection. The post contact finish difference (Tin versus Tin-Lead) reflects this compliance distinction.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, operating temperature range, voltage and current ratings, and flammability certification (UL94 V-0). The substitute part offers higher inventory availability (1519 units versus 966 units), providing improved supply chain flexibility.

For applications without RoHS3 requirements, either part is suitable based on availability and procurement preferences. The REACH status difference does not affect functional interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 102160-5 and 5102160-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all mechanical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting orientation, shrouding configuration, and contact geometry. They mount identically on PCBs and mate with the same cable connectors.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are post contact finish material (Tin-Lead in 102160-5 versus Tin in 5102160-5) and regulatory compliance status (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance in standard applications.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS3-regulated applications?

A: The 5102160-5 is ROHS3 compliant and is the correct selection for applications subject to RoHS3 requirements. The 102160-5 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for such applications.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 250VAC and 1A per contact with identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current-carrying capacity.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in my design?

A: For applications without RoHS3 compliance requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent and interchangeable. For RoHS3-regulated applications, only the 5102160-5 is appropriate. Verify your application's regulatory requirements before final part selection.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging as new original components from TE Connectivity.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations I should consider?

A: Both parts operate identically across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). No additional environmental limitations apply to either part.

Q: Which part has better availability?

A: The 5102160-5 substitute part has higher current inventory (1519 units) compared to the main part 102160-5 (966 units), providing improved supply chain flexibility.
