Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 102692-8 rectangular connector header is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 100
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Current Rating: 2A
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Finish - Post: Tin-Lead or Tin (both acceptable)
• RoHS Status: Compliant or Non-Compliant (application-dependent)
• REACH Status: Affected or Unaffected (application-dependent)

The substitute part 5-102692-8 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the primary part number 102692-8 across all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction between these parts relates to regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (102692-8): The TE Connectivity 102692-8 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected materials are permitted. This part number maintains active production status with 822 units in current inventory.

Substitute Part Selection (5-102692-8): The TE Connectivity 5-102692-8 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance and REACH-unaffected material sourcing. This part maintains active production status with 813 units in current inventory. The primary distinction is the contact finish on the post termination, which uses Tin instead of Tin-Lead, and the associated regulatory compliance certifications.

Regulatory Compliance Considerations: Selection between these two part numbers depends on end-application regulatory requirements. Applications subject to RoHS directives or REACH restrictions require the 5-102692-8 variant. Applications without such regulatory constraints may utilize either part number based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both part numbers are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters. The 2A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range apply uniformly to both variants. The contact finish difference on the post (Tin-Lead versus Tin) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 102692-8 and 5-102692-8 connectors physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting specifications, and contact geometry. The 100-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing is uniform across both part numbers. Through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, and solder termination are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes on the post?

A: The 102692-8 uses Tin-Lead finish on the post termination, while the 5-102692-8 uses Tin finish. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solder joint reliability at the specified 2A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. The Tin finish on the 5-102692-8 reflects RoHS compliance requirements that restrict lead content.

Q: When should I select the 5-102692-8 over the 102692-8?

A: Select the 5-102692-8 when your application or end-market requires RoHS compliance certification or REACH-unaffected material sourcing. The 5-102692-8 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the 102692-8 is RoHS Non-Compliant and REACH Affected. If your application has no such regulatory requirements, either part number is acceptable based on availability.

Q: Are both parts actively manufactured?

A: Yes. Both the 102692-8 and 5-102692-8 maintain Active product status with TE Connectivity. Current inventory levels are 822 units for 102692-8 and 813 units for 5-102692-8.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. This range applies uniformly to electrical performance, mechanical stability, and insulation material integrity.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring 250VAC operation?

A: Yes. Both the 102692-8 and 5-102692-8 are rated for 250VAC operation. The voltage rating applies to the mating interface and post termination across the full 100-position configuration.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of each connector position?

A: Each connector position is rated for 2A continuous current. This rating applies uniformly across all 100 positions in both the 102692-8 and 5-102692-8 variants.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations different between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both connectors share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) classification of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What packaging format is used for both part numbers?

A: Both the 102692-8 and 5-102692-8 are supplied in Tube packaging format.
