Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5102161-2 rectangular connector header serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 102162-2 model. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting orientation, and performance ratings.

Product Status Consideration: The 102162-2 is classified as obsolete, while the 5102161-2 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and component availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5102161-2 provides enhanced regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the non-compliant status of the 102162-2. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical electrical performance specifications.

Contact Finish Specifications: Minor variations exist in contact finish specifications. The 102162-2 features tin-lead post finish with 30.0µin mating surface thickness, while the 5102161-2 features tin post finish with 15.0µin mating surface thickness. Both configurations maintain the 100.0µin post finish thickness and support identical electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Functional Equivalence: The 5102161-2 provides complete functional equivalence for applications requiring 14-position, 2-row through-hole right-angle headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 1A per contact current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating across the -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range.
