Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-102203-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type and Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count and Pitch: 20 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Geometry: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• Physical Dimensions: Contact length (mating and post), insulation height, and shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall)
• Termination Method: Solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Material and Finish Specifications: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish and thermoplastic insulation

The substitute part 6-102203-7 maintains full equivalence across all these parameters while differing in packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-102203-7 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 1-102203-7 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, contact geometry, current rating, and operating temperature specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-102203-7 is classified as obsolete, while the 6-102203-7 maintains active product status. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 6-102203-7 is the appropriate selection.

Compliance Differences: The 6-102203-7 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 1-102203-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Organizations subject to RoHS regulations must use the 6-102203-7. The 1-102203-7 remains suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Contact Finish Variation: The 1-102203-7 features tin-lead plated posts, while the 6-102203-7 uses tin plating. Both maintain the same contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and gold mating surfaces. This difference does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Packaging: The 6-102203-7 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the 1-102203-7 is not specified. Procurement processes should account for this packaging difference when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-102203-7 replace the 1-102203-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-102203-7 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-102203-7. Both connectors have identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (20), contact geometry, current rating (3A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). The connectors are interchangeable from a functional standpoint.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1-102203-7 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 6-102203-7 maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the 6-102203-7 is the recommended choice.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement, not a functional specification. The 6-102203-7 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 1-102203-7 is not. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. Both connectors function identically in electrical and mechanical terms.

Q: Are there differences in contact plating between these parts?

A: The mating contacts are identical in both parts (gold plated, 15.0µin thickness). The post contacts differ: the 1-102203-7 uses tin-lead plating, while the 6-102203-7 uses tin plating. Both maintain the same thickness specification (100.0µin / 2.54µm). This difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What packaging format is used for the 6-102203-7?

A: The 6-102203-7 is supplied in tube packaging. The 1-102203-7 packaging format is not specified in available documentation. Procurement teams should verify packaging requirements for their specific supply chain processes.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. This range is suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Specific application requirements should be evaluated against this operating range.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of these connectors?

A: Both the 1-102203-7 and 6-102203-7 are rated for 3A per contact. Total circuit current capacity depends on the number of contacts used and circuit design.

Q: Can these connectors be used in moisture-sensitive environments?

A: Both connectors have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating they are not moisture-sensitive components. Standard handling and storage practices apply.
