TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102202-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102202-3 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a vertical orientation with 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall construction, and solder termination. The part operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and supports a current rating of 3A per contact.

The 102202-3 carries an obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing manufacturing or repair operations for legacy systems utilizing this connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 102202-3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following key areas:

Electrical Parameters: Contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (6), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and contact material (Brass with Gold mating finish).

Mechanical Parameters: Connector type (Header), mounting method (Through Hole), termination type (Solder), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), fastening mechanism (Push-Pull), and insulation material (Thermoplastic).

Physical Dimensions: Contact length specifications, insulation height, and overall contact length must remain consistent across all equivalent parts.

Compliance & Standards: Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and series designation (AMPMODU Mod II) establish the baseline for functional equivalence.

The substitute part 5-102202-3 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent to the main part number 102202-3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-102202-3 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 102202-3. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The main part 102202-3 is classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured. The substitute part 5-102202-3 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certifications: The substitute part 5-102202-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. This represents an improvement in environmental and regulatory compliance for new designs or replacement applications.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (contact type, pitch, current rating, operating temperature, contact material, and finish specifications) are identical between the main part and substitute. All mechanical parameters (mounting type, termination, shrouding, fastening mechanism, and physical dimensions) are identical.

Contact Finish Consideration: The substitute part specifies Tin contact finish on the post, compared to Tin-Lead on the main part. Both finishes are functionally equivalent for solder termination applications and meet the same performance requirements.

Packaging: The substitute part is supplied in Tube packaging, providing standard handling and storage conditions suitable for production environments.

The 5-102202-3 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring the 102202-3 specification, particularly where RoHS3 compliance is required or where supply of the obsolete part is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-102202-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 102202-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-102202-3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 102202-3 across all critical parameters. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination type, shrouding, and physical dimensions. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the main part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish specifications on the two parts?

A: The main part 102202-3 specifies Tin-Lead contact finish on the post, while the substitute part 5-102202-3 specifies Tin contact finish on the post. Both finishes are compatible with solder termination and provide equivalent performance for this connector application. The Tin finish on the substitute part reflects current manufacturing standards and environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 102202-3 listed as obsolete?

A: The 102202-3 is no longer in active production by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The substitute part 5-102202-3 represents the current active equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series and is the recommended source for new inventory requirements.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 5-102202-3 affect its electrical performance compared to the non-compliant 102202-3?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical performance. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including current rating, operating temperature range, contact material, and contact finish thickness. The RoHS3 compliance of the substitute part represents an improvement in regulatory alignment without performance degradation.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The main part 102202-3 packaging is not specified in the available data. The substitute part 5-102202-3 is supplied in Tube packaging, which is the standard packaging format for this connector type and provides appropriate protection and handling for production environments.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The main part 102202-3 has 725 pieces available as new original stock. The substitute part 5-102202-3 has 2400 pieces available as new original stock, providing greater availability for ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 102202-3 and 5-102202-3 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMPMODU Mod II series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the same product family.

Q: Can the 5-102202-3 be used in applications requiring the exact Tin-Lead finish specification?

A: The substitute part uses Tin finish instead of Tin-Lead. For applications with strict Tin-Lead finish requirements, this difference should be evaluated against the specific application constraints. However, for standard solder termination applications, Tin finish provides equivalent performance and is the current manufacturing standard.
