TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102570-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 102570-8 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features a 20-position configuration with 2.54mm (0.100") pitch spacing across 2 rows, utilizing shrouded 4-wall construction with male pin contacts and solder termination.

The 102570-8 carries an obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement. The part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, presenting regulatory considerations for new applications or manufacturing transitions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 102570-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (20)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Detent Lock)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Series Compatibility:

• AMPMODU Mod II series designation

The substitute part 5-102570-8 maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters. Differences exist only in packaging format (Tray versus unspecified), product status (Active versus Obsolete), contact finish on post terminals (Tin versus Tin-Lead), and regulatory compliance status (RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected versus non-compliant and affected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-102570-8 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 102570-8 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components maintain identical specifications for connector configuration, contact geometry, pitch spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 5-102570-8 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the 102570-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. For applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 requirements, the 5-102570-8 is the appropriate selection.

The contact finish on post terminals differs between the two parts: the 102570-8 uses Tin-Lead while the 5-102570-8 uses Tin. Both finishes provide equivalent solder termination performance and maintain the same contact finish thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm).

The 5-102570-8 carries Active product status with higher inventory availability (1800 Pcs versus 795 Pcs), supporting long-term procurement reliability. The substitute part is packaged in Tray format, which may differ from the original packaging specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102570-8 and 5-102570-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 20-position configuration, 2.54mm pitch spacing, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The contact finish on mating surfaces is gold in both cases.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish on post terminals?

A: The 102570-8 features Tin-Lead post finish while the 5-102570-8 features Tin post finish. Both finishes are suitable for solder termination and maintain the same thickness specification. The Tin finish in the substitute part aligns with lead-free manufacturing practices.

Q: Why is the 102570-8 listed as obsolete?

A: The 102570-8 carries obsolete product status from TE Connectivity. The 5-102570-8 is the active equivalent part and is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect mechanical compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tray versus unspecified) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. The packaging difference relates only to order quantity and handling logistics. The connector itself maintains identical form factor and mounting characteristics.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 5-102570-8 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while the 102570-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, the 5-102570-8 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can the 5-102570-8 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 102570-8?

A: Yes. The 5-102570-8 is a direct functional replacement. All electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications are identical. The substitute part is compatible with existing PCB layouts, mating connectors, and cable assemblies designed for the 102570-8.

Q: What is the current inventory status for these parts?

A: The 102570-8 has 795 Pcs in stock. The 5-102570-8 has 1800 Pcs in stock, providing greater availability for procurement planning.
