Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-102203-2 connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (15)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)

Compliance Parameters:

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

The substitute part 6-102203-2 maintains full equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute relates to product status and RoHS compliance classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-102203-2 connector serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-102203-2 part number. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration, pitch spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-102203-2 is classified as obsolete, while the 6-102203-2 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and design continuity.

Compliance Differentiation: The primary technical distinction between the two parts relates to regulatory compliance. The 1-102203-2 is RoHS non-compliant, whereas the 6-102203-2 is ROHS3 compliant. This compliance difference reflects updated manufacturing processes and material specifications.

Contact Finish Specification: A secondary distinction exists in the post contact finish specification. The 1-102203-2 utilizes Tin-Lead finish on the post contacts, while the 6-102203-2 employs Tin finish. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with solder termination processes.

Packaging Configuration: The 6-102203-2 is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the 1-102203-2 is not specified in the available documentation.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 6-102203-2 is the appropriate selection due to its active status and current regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-102203-2 directly replace the 1-102203-2 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 6-102203-2 maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 1-102203-2 across all critical parameters including contact type, position count, pitch spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range. Both connectors are part of the AMPMODU Mod II series and feature identical shrouding, mounting configuration, and termination specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The 1-102203-2 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6-102203-2 is ROHS3 compliant. This reflects differences in manufacturing processes and material composition.
