TE Connectivity 102619-9 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 102619-9 is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component features 22 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnection. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-lead plated posts for solder termination.

The 102619-9 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production requirements for legacy systems utilizing this connector configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 102619-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (22)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish - mating surface (Gold)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Detent Lock)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)

Material & Certification Parameters:

• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Substitute parts must maintain identical values across all listed parameters to ensure functional and mechanical interchangeability without design modification or board rework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-102619-9 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 102619-9 connector header. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration, pitch spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Product Status Advantage: The 5-102619-9 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 102619-9 is classified as obsolete. Selection of the active substitute part ensures long-term supply chain availability and compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Contact Finish Consideration: The primary specification difference exists in the post contact finish. The main part features tin-lead plating while the substitute utilizes tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance for through-hole termination applications. Tin plating in the substitute part reflects modern manufacturing practices and environmental compliance standards.

Packaging Difference: The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging format compared to bulk packaging for the main part. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and relates solely to component handling and storage logistics.

Compliance Status: The substitute part's ROHS3 compliance status provides regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions, whereas the main part carries "not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-102619-9 be used as a direct replacement for the 102619-9 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The 5-102619-9 is mechanically and electrically identical to the 102619-9 across all critical parameters including pitch spacing, contact configuration, mounting hole pattern, and electrical ratings. No PCB rework or design modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin-lead and tin plating?

A: Both tin-lead and tin post finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical conductivity for through-hole termination. The tin finish in the substitute part reflects current manufacturing standards and environmental compliance practices. Solder wetting and joint strength characteristics remain functionally equivalent.

Q: Does the tray packaging of the 5-102619-9 affect component performance compared to bulk packaging?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics and handling consideration only. Tray packaging provides improved component organization and protection during storage and transport but does not alter electrical performance, mechanical fit, or reliability characteristics of the connector.

Q: Why is the 102619-9 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete classification indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 5-102619-9 represents the active equivalent offering identical functionality with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: Is the ROHS3 compliance of the 5-102619-9 important for my application?

A: ROHS3 compliance is relevant if your application or end-market requires adherence to hazardous substance restrictions. The substitute part's compliance status provides regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental standards. The main part's "not applicable" status reflects its obsolete classification prior to current compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two connector headers?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), contact material (phosphor bronze), and contact finish specifications on mating surfaces. Electrical performance and reliability characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both the 102619-9 and 5-102619-9 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control handling during storage or assembly.
