Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-102202-2 with the 6-102202-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU Mod II connector series. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 15-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, 4-wall shrouding, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The connector geometry, contact dimensions, and mating interface are identical. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format. The 6-102202-2 is an active production part supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 1-102202-2 is obsolete. A secondary difference exists in the contact finish post specification: the 1-102202-2 features tin-lead finish while the 6-102202-2 features tin finish, both meeting the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The 6-102202-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 1-102202-2 status is not applicable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-102202-2 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 1-102202-2. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically identical across all electrical and dimensional specifications. The 6-102202-2 is the recommended selection for new designs and production applications due to its active product status and confirmed availability. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 6-102202-2 is the appropriate choice, as it carries RoHS Compliant certification. The contact finish post specification difference (tin-lead versus tin) does not affect functional compatibility, as both finishes meet identical thickness requirements and are suitable for solder termination. The tube packaging of the 6-102202-2 is standard for active production inventory. Existing designs utilizing the 1-102202-2 can transition to the 6-102202-2 without circuit board layout modifications or connector interface changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-102202-2 and 6-102202-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch, position count, contact dimensions, shrouding configuration, and mounting interface. No board layout or mating connector modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finish on the post?

A: Both finishes meet the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are suitable for solder termination. Tin finish (6-102202-2) is the modern standard and aligns with RoHS compliance requirements. Tin-lead finish (1-102202-2) is the legacy specification. Both are functionally equivalent for solder joint formation.

Q: Why is the 1-102202-2 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-102202-2 has been superseded by the 6-102202-2 in the active product portfolio. The 6-102202-2 is the current production equivalent and is the recommended part for all new applications.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Tube packaging is a supply and handling specification only. It does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. The connector itself is identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Can the 6-102202-2 be used in applications originally designed for the 1-102202-2?

A: Yes. The 6-102202-2 is a direct functional replacement. All electrical ratings, operating temperature range, current capacity, and mechanical interfaces are identical. No design modifications are necessary.

Q: Is the 6-102202-2 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 6-102202-2 is RoHS Compliant. The 1-102202-2 RoHS status is not applicable. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 6-102202-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 1-102202-2 and 6-102202-2 are rated for 3A per contact at the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.
