Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 103324-8 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Base Product Number: Both parts share the 103324 base designation, indicating they are part of the same connector family
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors maintains design continuity within the MODII series
• Number of Positions: 16-position configuration maintained
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing preserved
• Connector Type: Header configuration with breakaway capability
• Mounting Type: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Contact Type: Male pin configuration
• Termination Method: Solder termination

The substitute part 5-103324-8 is classified as the manufacturer-recommended alternative, sharing the same base product number and maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-103324-8 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 103324-8. Selection of this active component is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, maintaining export and tariff compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling
• Base Product Continuity: Shared base product number (103324) confirms manufacturer-validated compatibility within the MODII connector family
• Electrical and Mechanical Parameters: The substitute maintains all critical specifications including 16-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination

The substitute part provides enhanced documentation of mechanical and electrical characteristics, including operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (3A), and material specifications (UL94 V-0 flammability rating), supporting comprehensive design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-103324-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 103324-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share the same base product number (103324), maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (16), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). The substitute is the manufacturer-recommended active alternative.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number match?

A: The shared base product number (103324) indicates that both connectors are part of the same product family and have been validated by the manufacturer for functional and mechanical compatibility. This designation confirms that the substitute maintains the same mating interface and footprint requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited) rated. The obsolete part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected; compliance status for the substitute should be verified against current regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for the 5-103324-8?

A: The substitute is rated for 3A current at operating temperatures from -65°C to 105°C. Contact material is copper alloy with tin finish (100.0µin thickness). Insulation material is thermoplastic with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The obsolete 103324-8 has 1059 pieces in stock. The active substitute 5-103324-8 has 954 pieces available. For new designs or long-term production, the active substitute should be specified to ensure ongoing supply availability.

Q: What is the connector configuration of the 5-103324-8?

A: The substitute is a 16-position header with 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch between positions and between rows. It features male pins, unshrouded design, push-pull fastening, and breakaway capability for modular applications.
