TE Connectivity 103414-8 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 103414-8 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component is a shrouded 4-wall header with 10 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, featuring male pin contacts and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in board-to-board or cable connection configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 103414-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (10)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish material and thickness specifications

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact length specifications (Mating: 0.240", Post: 0.130")
• Insulation material and dimensions
• Contact shape (Square)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)

The substitute part 5-103414-8 maintains complete equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), packaging format (Tube), contact finish post material (Tin vs. Tin-Lead), and regulatory compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant) do not affect functional interchangeability in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-103414-8 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 103414-8 model. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, current rating, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

Selection Basis:

The 5-103414-8 is recommended for new designs and production applications requiring the 103414-8 specification. The substitute part maintains complete compatibility while offering the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 5-103414-8 is an active product with established supply chain availability (4150 Pcs in stock vs. 704 Pcs for the obsolete part).
• Improved Regulatory Compliance: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing modern regulatory requirements for electronic components.
• Standardized Packaging: Tube packaging provides standard handling and storage compatibility with modern manufacturing processes.

The minor difference in contact finish post material (Tin vs. Tin-Lead) does not affect functional performance or interchangeability. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical conductivity for the specified 3A current rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical mechanical dimensions, ensuring direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-103414-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 103414-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-103414-8 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, current rating, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finish on the post?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical conductivity for this application. The Tin finish on the 5-103414-8 represents a modern formulation that complies with ROHS3 regulations, while the Tin-Lead finish on the 103414-8 is a legacy specification. The functional performance difference is negligible for the specified 3A current rating and operating temperature range.

Q: Why is the 103414-8 listed as obsolete?

A: The 103414-8 is an older product designation. The 5-103414-8 is the current active equivalent that replaces it in TE Connectivity's product portfolio. The "5-" prefix indicates the updated version within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The packaging difference (unspecified for 103414-8 vs. Tube for 5-103414-8) affects only handling, storage, and ordering logistics. The connector itself is identical. Tube packaging is standard for modern manufacturing processes and provides equivalent component protection.

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

A: No. Both parts are rated for 3A current and operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. All electrical performance specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 5-103414-8 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many markets. The 103414-8 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 5-103414-8 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. Both the 103414-8 and 5-103414-8 are specified for board-to-board or cable style applications. The shrouded 4-wall configuration and push-pull fastening type are identical, ensuring equivalent performance in both application types.

Q: What is the contact finish specification, and does it affect signal integrity?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness) with copper alloy base material. The gold finish ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The post finish difference (Tin-Lead vs. Tin) does not affect signal integrity for the specified 3A current rating and digital/analog signal applications typical of 2.54mm pitch headers.
