TE Connectivity 1-102617-5 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-102617-5 is a rectangular connector header manufactured under the AMPMODU Mod II series. This component is a through-hole, right-angle header with 34 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. The connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with male pin contacts and solder termination.

The 1-102617-5 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for legacy systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-102617-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (34)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 6-102617-5 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-102617-5 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 1-102617-5 connector header. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 6-102617-5 carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 1-102617-5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: the 1-102617-5 uses Tin-Lead finish while the 6-102617-5 uses Tin finish. This difference reflects the RoHS compliance transition and does not affect functional compatibility.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 6-102617-5 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 1-102617-5 is no longer available, the 6-102617-5 provides full functional equivalence and maintains compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-102617-5 and 6-102617-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), position count (34), pitch (2.54mm), and row spacing (2.54mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and mating applications.

Q: Are the 1-102617-5 and 6-102617-5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including contact type (male pin), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), contact material (phosphor bronze), and mating contact finish (gold). They are electrically interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these parts?

A: The 1-102617-5 uses Tin-Lead finish on the post (solder tail), while the 6-102617-5 uses Tin finish. This difference reflects RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. The mating contact finish (gold) is identical on both parts.

Q: Why is the 1-102617-5 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-102617-5 has been superseded by the 6-102617-5 as part of TE Connectivity's product line transition to RoHS-compliant components. The 6-102617-5 maintains full functional equivalence while meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use the 6-102617-5 in place of the 1-102617-5 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 6-102617-5 is a direct substitute for the 1-102617-5 in all applications. No design modifications or PCB layout changes are required. The connector will mate with existing mating connectors and function identically in the circuit.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1-102617-5 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 6-102617-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. Contact the manufacturer for specific packaging details regarding the 1-102617-5 if required for procurement purposes.

Q: Are there any temperature or current limitations when substituting the 6-102617-5 for the 1-102617-5?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and carry the same current rating (3A). There are no operational limitations when using the 6-102617-5 as a substitute.
