TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102160-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102160-9 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, housed in a UL94 V-0 rated black insulation body with keying slot and mounting flange.

The 102160-9 maintains active product status with 796 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address specific application requirements, including RoHS compliance variations and contact finish specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the 102160-9 and 5102160-9 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMP-Latch series. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for:

• Connector geometry: 40-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Electrical performance: 1A per contact at 250VAC
• Mechanical interface: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with push-pull fastening
• Thermal performance: -65°C ~ 105°C operating range
• Safety certification: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Physical construction: Shrouded 4-wall design with keying slot and mounting flange

The primary distinction between these parts lies in contact finish specifications and regulatory compliance status. The 102160-9 features tin-lead post finish with non-RoHS compliance, while the 5102160-9 features tin post finish with full RoHS compliance. Both maintain equivalent mating contact finish (gold or gold-palladium) and identical contact finish thickness specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 102160-9 and 5102160-9 connectors are active products suitable for rectangular connector header applications requiring 40-position, 2.54mm pitch through-hole right-angle mounting.

102160-9 Selection Criteria:

• Applications without RoHS compliance requirements
• Systems where REACH-affected materials are acceptable
• Designs utilizing tin-lead post finish specifications

5102160-9 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring RoHS compliance certification
• Systems requiring REACH-unaffected component status
• Designs utilizing tin post finish specifications
• Higher current inventory availability (1007 units versus 796 units)

Both connectors maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical interface compatibility, and thermal operating specifications. The selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and post-finish material specifications rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102160-9 and 5102160-9 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 40-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and shrouded 4-wall design. They are directly interchangeable in terms of physical mounting and mating interface.

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

A: The primary differences are contact post finish material (tin-lead versus tin) and regulatory compliance status. The 102160-9 is not RoHS compliant and is REACH-affected, while the 5102160-9 is RoHS compliant and REACH-unaffected. Mating contact finish specifications remain identical for both parts.

Q: Do both connectors support the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 102160-9 and 5102160-9 maintain identical electrical ratings of 1A per contact at 250VAC and operate across the same temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Q: Which connector should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or REACH-unaffected component status, the 5102160-9 is the appropriate choice. For applications without these regulatory constraints, either part is suitable based on availability and post-finish material requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Mating contact finish is identical for both parts (gold or gold-palladium at 30.0µin thickness). The difference exists only in post finish material: the 102160-9 uses tin-lead while the 5102160-9 uses tin, both at 100.0µin thickness.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The 102160-9 has 796 units in stock, while the 5102160-9 has 1007 units in stock. Both are available as new original components in bulk packaging.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same safety and flammability standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability and maintain identical safety certifications and operating specifications.
