Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute for TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102570-5 is identified based on the following criteria:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (14)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Current rating (3A)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)

The substitute part 5-102570-5 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 102570-5. The primary difference is product status and packaging configuration, with the substitute being an active product available in tray packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-102570-5 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 102570-5 model. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, and operating characteristics.

Key Considerations for Selection:

Product Status: The 102570-5 is classified as obsolete, while the 5-102570-5 is an active product with confirmed ongoing availability. For new designs and production continuity, the 5-102570-5 is the appropriate selection.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 5-102570-5 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 102570-5 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The original part contains tin-lead finish on the post, while the substitute uses tin finish, aligning with RoHS3 requirements.

Contact Finish Specifications: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with identical thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm). The post finish differs between tin-lead (original) and tin (substitute), reflecting regulatory evolution and environmental compliance standards.

Packaging and Availability: The substitute is supplied in tray packaging with higher inventory levels (1800 pcs vs. 1040 pcs), supporting improved supply chain reliability and production planning.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters remain unchanged, ensuring direct interchangeability in existing circuit board designs and connector mating applications without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-102570-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 102570-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-102570-5 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 102570-5. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The original 102570-5 is RoHS non-compliant due to its tin-lead post finish. The substitute 5-102570-5 is ROHS3 compliant with a tin post finish. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the mating contact specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with identical thickness specifications (15.0µin / 0.38µm). The contact material, shape, length, and finish are equivalent across both parts.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The original 102570-5 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute 5-102570-5 is supplied in tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is primarily relevant to inventory management and handling procedures.

Q: Are there any temperature or current rating differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and support the same current rating (3A). All thermal and electrical specifications are equivalent.

Q: Why is the 102570-5 classified as obsolete?

A: The 102570-5 has been superseded by the 5-102570-5, which offers improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3) and maintains full functional equivalence. TE Connectivity has transitioned production to the newer part number.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same application?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, allowing both parts to be used interchangeably in the same application without performance degradation or compatibility issues.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: Both the 102570-5 and 5-102570-5 share the base product number 102570. The prefix "5-" on the substitute part indicates a variant designation within the same product family, typically reflecting packaging or compliance updates.
