Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish functional equivalence:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (24)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 5-103167-9 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part 103167-9. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-103167-9 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 103167-9. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Key Selection Factors:

Product Status: The 103167-9 is obsolete. The 5-103167-9 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Considerations: The 5-103167-9 is RoHS compliant, whereas the 103167-9 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require the 5-103167-9. The 5-103167-9 also carries REACH Vendor Undefined status compared to the main part's REACH Affected designation.

Contact Finish Difference: The 103167-9 features tin-lead post termination, while the 5-103167-9 uses tin post termination. Both finishes maintain the 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness specification and are functionally equivalent for solder termination applications.

Packaging: The 103167-9 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5-103167-9 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on production workflow and inventory management requirements.

Inventory Availability: Both parts maintain substantial stock levels (1169 Pcs for 103167-9; 1076 Pcs for 5-103167-9), supporting immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-103167-9 directly replace the 103167-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-103167-9 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, contact materials, and current rating are identical. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the tin versus tin-lead post finish difference?

A: Both finishes meet the 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness specification and are suitable for solder termination. Tin post termination (5-103167-9) is the modern standard and aligns with RoHS compliance requirements. Tin-lead post termination (103167-9) is the legacy specification. For new designs, tin post termination is the preferred choice.

Q: Why is the 103167-9 marked as obsolete?

A: The 103167-9 is obsolete due to product lifecycle management and the availability of the RoHS-compliant 5-103167-9 variant. The 5-103167-9 provides equivalent functionality with improved regulatory compliance.

Q: Does packaging type affect connector performance?

A: No. Bulk and tray packaging are logistics and handling formats only. They do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection depends on production volume, storage requirements, and assembly line integration.

Q: Is the 5-103167-9 suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 5-103167-9 is RoHS compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the 5-103167-9 rather than the non-compliant 103167-9.

Q: Are there any thermal or current rating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A). Thermal and electrical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: Both 103167-9 and 5-103167-9 share the base product number 103167. The prefix "5-" on the substitute part indicates a variant designation within the same product family, typically reflecting manufacturing or compliance updates.
