TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 103171-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 103171-4 is an active rectangular connector socket contact designed for crimp termination applications. This socket contact is part of the AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2 series and accommodates wire gauges from 22 to 26 AWG with gold plating for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. The part is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, supply chain continuity, and application-specific requirements where direct part availability may be constrained.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 103171-4 are classified into two categories based on substitution compatibility:

Direct Equivalent (5-103171-4): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number, including wire gauge range (22-26 AWG), contact termination method (crimp), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2). The direct equivalent differs only in packaging format and RoHS certification variant, making it a true functional substitute with no performance trade-offs.

Similar Substitute (HIF3-2630SCC): This part shares the same contact termination method (crimp), contact finish material (gold), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). However, the wire gauge specification differs: HIF3-2630SCC accommodates 26-30 AWG, which overlaps with the upper range of the main part (22-26 AWG) at 26 AWG. This part belongs to the Hirose Electric HIF3 series and is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitution is limited to applications where the 26 AWG overlap is acceptable and mechanical compatibility with the AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2 connector housing is confirmed.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Contact termination method (crimp)
• Contact finish material (gold)
• Wire gauge compatibility
• Moisture sensitivity level
• Series and mechanical form factor

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution: The 5-103171-4 is the primary equivalent part and is suitable for direct substitution in all applications currently using the 103171-4. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5-103171-4 maintains the same wire gauge range (22-26 AWG), contact finish thickness (30.0µin), and series designation. Selection between these two parts should be based on packaging requirements (cut tape versus cut tape) and inventory availability.

For Similar Substitution: The HIF3-2630SCC is classified as a similar substitute due to wire gauge range variance. This part is suitable only for applications where the wire gauge requirement falls within the 26 AWG overlap range and where mechanical compatibility with the AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2 connector housing has been verified through design documentation or physical testing. The HIF3-2630SCC is ROHS3 compliant and maintains MSL 1 rating, supporting use in moisture-sensitive environments. However, the contact finish thickness specification is not provided for this part, requiring verification against application requirements.

Compliance Considerations: All three parts maintain active product status and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. The 103171-4 and HIF3-2630SCC are ROHS3 compliant. The 5-103171-4 is RoHS compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status, requiring confirmation against specific regulatory requirements for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-103171-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 103171-4?

A: Yes. The 5-103171-4 is a direct equivalent with identical wire gauge (22-26 AWG), contact termination (crimp), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), and series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2). Both parts are active products with equivalent compliance ratings.

Q: What are the limitations of using HIF3-2630SCC as a substitute?

A: The HIF3-2630SCC has a wire gauge range of 26-30 AWG, which overlaps with the 103171-4 only at 26 AWG. This part is suitable only for applications where 26 AWG wire is used. Additionally, the HIF3-2630SCC belongs to the Hirose HIF3 series and must be mechanically compatible with the AMPMODU Mod IV 1/2 connector housing. Contact finish thickness is not specified for this part.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 103171-4 and HIF3-2630SCC are ROHS3 compliant. The 5-103171-4 is RoHS compliant. Verify the specific RoHS requirement for your application before final part selection.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 103171-4 and 5-103171-4 are supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. The HIF3-2630SCC is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Can the HIF3-2630SCC be used with 22-24 AWG wire?

A: No. The HIF3-2630SCC is specified for 26-30 AWG wire only. It is not suitable for wire gauges below 26 AWG.

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

A: All three parts (103171-4, 5-103171-4, and HIF3-2630SCC) have MSL 1 (unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness the same across all parts?

A: The 103171-4 and 5-103171-4 both specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) contact finish thickness. The HIF3-2630SCC contact finish thickness is not specified in available documentation.
