TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-102156-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-102156-1 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded 60-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-cable/wire interconnections with push-pull fastening. The connector is manufactured with gold or gold-palladium mating contact finish and tin-lead post finish, rated for 1A per contact at 250VAC across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or manufacturing transitions while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the AMP-Latch series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 1-102156-1 and 1-5102156-1 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMP-Latch connector series. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical current rating (1A per contact)
• Identical voltage rating (250VAC)
• Identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Identical number of positions (60)
• Identical number of rows (2)
• Identical contact type (Male Pin)
• Identical mounting type (Through Hole)
• Identical shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Identical fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Identical contact dimensions (mating length, post length, overall length)
• Identical insulation height (0.549")

Material & Certification Parameters:

• Identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Identical insulation color (Black)
• Identical contact shape (Square)
• Identical mating contact finish (Gold or Gold-Palladium)
• Identical mating contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Identical post contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm)

The primary differences between these parts relate to post contact finish composition and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-102156-1 and 1-5102156-1 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for standard applications requiring 60-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connectors with through-hole mounting.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance:

The 1-5102156-1 substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 1-102156-1 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements should specify 1-5102156-1.

Post Contact Finish Consideration:

The 1-102156-1 features tin-lead post finish, while 1-5102156-1 features tin post finish. Both finishes are applied at identical thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and support equivalent solder joint reliability. The tin post finish of 1-5102156-1 aligns with lead-free manufacturing practices.

Inventory and Availability:

Both parts are in active production with current inventory availability. Selection between these parts may be driven by supply chain requirements or compliance mandates specific to the application or end-use market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 1-102156-1 and 1-5102156-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 60 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, and all contact dimensions. They mount identically on printed circuit boards and accept the same mating connectors.

Q: Are 1-102156-1 and 1-5102156-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors carry identical electrical ratings: 1A per contact, 250VAC, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. They perform identically in electrical applications.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin post finishes?

A: Both finishes are applied at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness and provide equivalent solder joint performance. Tin post finish (1-5102156-1) is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, while tin-lead post finish (1-102156-1) supports traditional lead-containing solder processes.

Q: Which part should I specify for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Specify 1-5102156-1, which carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The 1-102156-1 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status.

Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent and can be substituted without design modifications. Existing PCB layouts, mating connector selections, and electrical designs remain valid for either part.

Q: What is the keying slot feature?

A: The keying slot is a mechanical feature that prevents incorrect mating orientation. Both 1-102156-1 and 1-5102156-1 include this feature, ensuring proper connector alignment during assembly.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, suitable for industrial and consumer applications requiring thermal stability.
