TE Connectivity 102393-8 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 102393-8 is a 20-position rectangular receptacle connector from the AMPMODU MT series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with discrete or ribbon cable in the 26-30 AWG wire gauge range. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts and is configured as a free-hanging in-line component with a closed-end design. The part is currently active in production status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address supply chain requirements, compliance specifications, and inventory optimization while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors in this category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (20)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Wire gauge range (26-30 AWG)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Closed-end design

Series and Base Product Alignment:

• AMPMODU MT series
• Base product number 102393

The substitute part 5-102393-8 maintains complete equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters, differing only in regulatory compliance status and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 102393-8 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and REACH-affected materials are permitted by design specifications or regulatory framework.

Part 5-102393-8 is the preferred selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance and REACH-unaffected status. This substitute maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence while providing enhanced regulatory compliance. The higher inventory availability (1107 units versus 628 units) supports improved supply chain continuity.

Both parts are active products from TE Connectivity and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Selection between them is determined by compliance requirements and supply availability rather than functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 102393-8 and 5-102393-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 20-position rectangular receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications: gold-plated female socket contacts, 26-30 AWG wire gauge compatibility, IDC termination, 0.100" pitch, and 2-row configuration. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance status and inventory availability. Part 5-102393-8 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while 102393-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Part 5-102393-8 has higher stock availability (1107 units versus 628 units).

Q: Can I substitute 5-102393-8 for 102393-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes, part 5-102393-8 is a direct substitute for 102393-8. All mechanical and electrical parameters are identical. The substitution is valid for new designs and design revisions where RoHS compliance is required or preferred.

Q: Are there any physical or dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 20 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting, closed-end design, and black color.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors support 26-30 AWG wire gauge for discrete or ribbon cable termination using IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify part 5-102393-8 if RoHS compliance is a requirement. If RoHS compliance is not required and REACH-affected materials are acceptable, either part is suitable. Consider inventory availability and supply chain factors in your selection.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for ribbon cable applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are designed for ribbon cable termination via IDC technology, as well as discrete wire termination in the 26-30 AWG range.
