Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors in the AMPMODU Mod II series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 34
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Current Rating: 3A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 3 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Detent Lock

Material & Compliance Parameters:

• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: AMPMODU Mod II

The substitute part 6-103164-5 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in contact finish specifications and product status do not affect functional interchangeability in applications requiring the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 6-103164-5 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently utilizing the obsolete 1-102055-5. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration.

The primary distinction between the parts is product status: 1-102055-5 is obsolete, while 6-103164-5 is active and available for procurement. The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the original part status is not applicable. The contact finish on the post differs (Tin-Lead versus Tin), and the mating contact finish thickness is increased (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), both of which represent material improvements without affecting functional interchangeability.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector configuration, 6-103164-5 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part number is specified, 6-103164-5 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 1-102055-5 and 6-103164-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 34 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. They are electrically interchangeable in all applications.

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 3-wall configuration, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, and detent lock fastening. Mating and post contact lengths are identical.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The mating contact finish is gold in both parts, but the thickness differs: 1-102055-5 has 15.0µin thickness, while 6-103164-5 has 30.0µin thickness. The post contact finish differs: 1-102055-5 uses Tin-Lead, while 6-103164-5 uses Tin. These differences do not affect functional performance in standard applications.
