• Contact Type: Male Pin (same gender)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (same installation method)
• Termination: Solder (same connection technology)
• Series: AMPMODU Mod II (same product family)
• Current Rating: 3A (electrical capacity)
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 105°C (thermal range)
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy (same base material)
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled (same dielectric)

Compliance Improvement: The substitute part 5-146304-3 is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory limitations of the original 103148-3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: The substitute part 5-146304-3 is the recommended selection. It maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 103148-3 while providing RoHS Compliance and Active product status. This ensures regulatory adherence, long-term supply chain availability, and compliance with modern environmental standards.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The original 103148-3 remains available in inventory (1025 Pcs) for applications where exact historical component matching is required. However, transition to 5-146304-3 is advised for any new production runs or system redesigns.

Compliance Considerations: The original 103148-3 carries REACH Affected status and RoHS Non-Compliant designation. The substitute 5-146304-3 resolves these compliance gaps while maintaining identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 103148-3 and 5-146304-3 electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 3A current rating, -65°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3-position single-row configuration, and copper alloy contact material with identical termination methods.
