• Contact length - mating (0.240" / 6.10mm)
• Contact length - post (0.110" / 2.79mm)
• Insulation height (0.214" / 5.44mm)
• Termination method (Solder)

Compliance Parameters:

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

The substitute part 6-102203-3 maintains full equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in product status, RoHS compliance, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-102203-3 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-102203-3. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series, ensuring complete interchangeability in board-to-board and cable connector applications.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-102203-3 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 6-102203-3 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory of 1101 pieces in stock, providing reliable supply for current and future production requirements.

Compliance Advantage: The 6-102203-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the 1-102203-3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to environmental regulations or customer compliance requirements, the 6-102203-3 is the appropriate selection.

Contact Finish Specification: The 1-102203-3 features tin-lead post finish, while the 6-102203-3 uses tin post finish. Both finishes maintain the 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness specification and are functionally equivalent for solder termination applications.

Packaging Consideration: The 6-102203-3 is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging format. Verify packaging compatibility with existing assembly and handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-102203-3 and 6-102203-3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 16-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The gold-plated mating contacts and phosphor bronze contact material are identical across both parts.

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

A: The 1-102203-3 uses tin-lead post finish while the 6-102203-3 uses tin post finish. Both finishes are applied at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness and are functionally equivalent for solder termination. The tin finish in the 6-102203-3 reflects modern lead-free manufacturing practices.

Q: Can I use the 6-102203-3 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-102203-3 is mechanically and electrically identical to the 1-102203-3. All mounting dimensions, contact lengths, insulation heights, and shrouding configurations are identical. The connector will function identically in existing PCB layouts and cable assemblies.

Q: Why is the 1-102203-3 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-102203-3 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity. The 6-102203-3 represents the current active equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Does the 6-102203-3 meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 6-102203-3 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. The 1-102203-3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, making the 6-102203-3 the appropriate choice for regulated applications.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.240" (6.10mm) mating contact length, 0.110" (2.79mm) post contact length, and 0.214" (5.44mm) insulation height. The right-angle through-hole mounting configuration and 4-wall shrouding are identical.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 6-102203-3 is supplied in tube packaging. The original packaging format for the 1-102203-3 is not specified in the technical data. Verify that tube packaging is compatible with your assembly and storage procedures.
