Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 102699-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (6)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Detent Lock)

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)

Environmental & Regulatory Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)

The substitute part 5-102699-2 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. Differences in contact finish post material (Tin-Lead versus Tin) and regulatory compliance status (RoHS and REACH) do not affect functional interchangeability in equivalent circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-102699-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the 102699-2 and is suitable for substitution in all applications requiring a 6-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch rectangular connector header with through-hole mounting and detent lock fastening.

Primary Substitution Basis:

The 5-102699-2 maintains identical mechanical, electrical, and thermal specifications across all critical parameters. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU Mod II series and share the same contact geometry, pitch configuration, and performance ratings.

Compliance Advantage:

The substitute part 5-102699-2 carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the main part 102699-2 is designated Last Time Buy with RoHS non-compliant status. For new designs and production runs subject to RoHS requirements, the 5-102699-2 is the appropriate selection.

Contact Finish Consideration:

The post contact finish differs between the two parts (Tin-Lead in 102699-2 versus Tin in 5-102699-2). Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance at the specified 3A current rating and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The Tin finish in the substitute part aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing practices.

Inventory and Availability:

The 5-102699-2 is currently in active production with 1,237 pieces in stock, providing superior long-term availability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-102699-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 102699-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-102699-2 is mechanically and electrically identical to the 102699-2. All mounting dimensions, contact spacing, current ratings, and operating temperature ranges are equivalent. The connector will mate with existing mating connectors and perform identically in circuit applications.

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

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solderability performance at the 3A current rating. The Tin finish in the 5-102699-2 is lead-free and complies with RoHS regulations, whereas the Tin-Lead finish in the 102699-2 does not. For solder joint reliability and thermal cycling performance within the specified -55°C to 105°C range, both finishes are functionally equivalent.

Q: Why is the 102699-2 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that TE Connectivity has discontinued production of this part number. The 5-102699-2 is the active production equivalent and should be specified for all new designs and procurement.

Q: Are there any PCB layout or footprint differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting hole patterns, and overall footprint. PCB layouts designed for the 102699-2 are directly compatible with the 5-102699-2 without modification.

Q: Does the RoHS Compliant status of the 5-102699-2 affect performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical or mechanical performance. The 5-102699-2 meets all performance specifications of the 102699-2 while adhering to RoHS restrictions on hazardous substances.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 102699-2 and 5-102699-2 are rated for 3A per contact. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

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

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for continuous operation up to 105°C and can withstand temperature cycling from -55°C to 105°C. The UL94 V-0 thermoplastic insulation material maintains its mechanical properties throughout this range.

Q: Is the 5-102699-2 available in different packaging options?

A: Both the 102699-2 and 5-102699-2 are supplied in Tray packaging. No alternative packaging configurations are specified for these part numbers.
