TE Connectivity 102567-3 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 102567-3 is a vertical board-to-board rectangular connector header featuring 36 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole solder-terminated connector is part of the AMPMODU Mod II series and operates across the industrial temperature range of -65°C to 105°C with a 3A current rating per contact and 250VAC voltage rating. The connector is actively manufactured and maintained in production inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address specific compliance requirements, inventory availability, or manufacturing process variations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part number 102567-3 and the equivalent part 5-102567-3 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. Both connectors maintain identical specifications across all critical dimensions and performance characteristics: 36-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole solder termination, shrouded 4-wall design, and identical operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Both connectors deliver 3A current rating per contact at 250VAC voltage rating with copper alloy contacts and thermoplastic glass-filled insulation rated UL94 V-0.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in post-termination contact finish specification and regulatory compliance status. The main part 102567-3 features tin-lead post finish with RoHS non-compliant status and REACH-affected classification. The substitute part 5-102567-3 features tin post finish with RoHS compliant status and REACH-unaffected classification. These variations do not alter the electrical performance, mechanical fit, or mating compatibility of the connectors. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPMODU Mod II series and share the same base product number 102567.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 102567-3 and 5-102567-3 connectors are actively manufactured and fully compatible for board-to-board interconnection applications requiring 36-position, 2-row through-hole headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and material specifications applicable to the end application.

The 102567-3 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance and REACH-affected material status are acceptable. This part features tin-lead post termination and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with all AMPMODU Mod II series mating connectors and receptacles.

The 5-102567-3 is required for applications subject to RoHS compliance mandates or REACH regulatory frameworks. This part features tin post termination in place of tin-lead and carries RoHS compliant and REACH-unaffected designations. The substitution of tin for tin-lead post finish does not alter electrical performance, mechanical fit, or thermal characteristics. Both parts deliver identical current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and contact geometry.

Selection should be based on the specific regulatory environment and material restrictions of the target application. Both parts are available in production inventory with established supply chains through TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102567-3 and 5-102567-3 connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical specifications including 36-position, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 0.180" (4.57mm) post length, 0.550" (13.97mm) insulation height, and shrouded 4-wall design. They are fully interchangeable in board-to-board applications without modification to PCB layouts or mating connector specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead and tin post finishes on these connectors?

A: The 102567-3 features tin-lead post termination while the 5-102567-3 features tin post termination. Both finishes are applied at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solder joint reliability. The tin finish on the 5-102567-3 eliminates lead content to achieve RoHS compliance.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The 5-102567-3 is designated RoHS Compliant and must be selected for applications subject to RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulatory requirements. The 102567-3 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for RoHS-restricted applications.

Q: Are both connectors rated for the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 102567-3 and 5-102567-3 deliver identical electrical performance: 3A current rating per contact, 250VAC voltage rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Mating contact finish is gold on both parts at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness.

Q: What is the REACH status difference between these parts?

A: The 102567-3 carries REACH Affected status, indicating the part contains substances of concern under REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. The 5-102567-3 carries REACH Unaffected status, indicating compliance with REACH material restrictions. Selection depends on the regulatory environment of the end application.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for continuous operation across -65°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial temperature environments. The thermoplastic glass-filled insulation and copper alloy contacts maintain performance throughout this range.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Standard dry storage conditions are sufficient for both parts.

Q: Are both parts available in production inventory?

A: Yes. The 102567-3 maintains 704 pieces in stock, and the 5-102567-3 maintains 1250 pieces in stock as new original inventory through TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.
