Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 1-102692-3 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (40)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (2A)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)

The substitute part 6-102692-3 meets all critical matching parameters and is classified as a direct equivalent. Variations in contact finish post material and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-102692-3 and 6-102692-3 are active products from TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU Mod II series and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for all specified applications. The parts are identical across all critical functional parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, electrical ratings, and operating conditions.

The substitute part 6-102692-3 provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part 1-102692-3 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements, the 6-102692-3 is the appropriate selection. The contact finish post material differs between the two parts (Tin-Lead versus Tin), but both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance at the specified current and voltage ratings.

Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and export classification (EAR99). Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-102692-3 and 6-102692-3 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical across all electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and contact materials. They are direct equivalents within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish post materials?

A: The 1-102692-3 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 6-102692-3 features Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance at the specified 2A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. The Tin finish in the 6-102692-3 aligns with ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect functionality?

A: No. The RoHS compliance status reflects regulatory and material composition requirements, not functional performance. Both parts operate identically within the specified electrical and thermal parameters. Selection should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application.

Q: What is the pitch spacing of these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch for mating contacts and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. This standard pitch is compatible with standard 0.100" grid PCB layouts.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for continuous operation across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range. The thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material and copper alloy contacts maintain performance throughout this range.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity?

A: Both connectors are rated for 2A per contact at 250VAC. Total system current capacity depends on the number of loaded positions and circuit design.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for board-to-board applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as Board to Board or Cable style connectors with through-hole solder termination, making them suitable for direct PCB-to-PCB interconnection or cable harness applications.

Q: What shrouding configuration is provided?

A: Both connectors feature shrouded 4-wall construction, which provides mechanical protection and alignment guidance during mating operations.

Q: What is the contact material composition?

A: Both connectors use copper alloy contacts with gold plating on the mating surface (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness) and tin or tin-lead plating on the post surface (100.0µin / 2.54µm thickness).

Q: Are these parts available in stock?

A: Inventory availability varies. The 1-102692-3 has 684 pieces in stock, while the 6-102692-3 has 1407 pieces in stock. Verify current availability with your supplier for procurement planning.
