Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across mechanical and electrical parameters. The following criteria establish substitutability for the 1-102570-4:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (32)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Insulation height (0.400" / 10.16mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)

Substitute parts must maintain identical values across all listed parameters to ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and functional compatibility within existing circuit board designs and mating connector assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-103167-3 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-102570-4 rectangular connector header. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting orientation, and current rating.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-102570-4 carries Obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 1-103167-3 maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1130 pieces in stock), establishing it as the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts carry identical certifications including UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS commodity code 8536.69.4040. The 1-103167-3 is designated RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-102570-4 status is listed as not applicable. This distinction reflects the obsolete status of the original part and does not affect functional substitution.

Contact Finish Specification: The 1-103167-3 provides increased mating contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) compared to the 1-102570-4 (15.0µin / 0.38µm). This enhancement represents an engineering improvement that maintains backward compatibility while providing extended contact durability.

Packaging Configuration: The 1-103167-3 is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the 1-102570-4 packaging specification is not provided. This represents a standard commercial packaging difference without impact on component functionality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-103167-3 directly replace the 1-102570-4 in existing circuit board designs?

A: Yes. The 1-103167-3 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and electrical specifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit board redesign or layout modification.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish thicknesses?

A: The 1-103167-3 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish thickness compared to 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the 1-102570-4. Both specifications meet functional requirements. The increased thickness on the substitute part represents an engineering enhancement that extends contact life and improves wear resistance without affecting electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1-102570-4 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 1-103167-3 represents the active equivalent component currently available for procurement and new design implementation.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with mating connectors?

A: No. The 1-103167-3 maintains identical contact geometry, pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and shrouding configuration. Existing mating connectors designed for the 1-102570-4 are fully compatible with the 1-103167-3.

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

A: The 1-102570-4 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1-103167-3 is supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard commercial packaging for this connector category. Packaging differences do not affect component performance or functionality.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1-102570-4 and 1-103167-3 operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, supporting equivalent thermal performance in all applications.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry a 3A current rating per contact, supporting identical electrical load specifications.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance differences?

A: The 1-102570-4 lists RoHS status as not applicable, while the 1-103167-3 is designated RoHS non-compliant. This distinction reflects the obsolete status of the original part. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, alternative components outside this substitution group must be evaluated.
