Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-103080-0 connector serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 1-103080-0 part number. Selection of the 6-103080-0 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 1-103080-0 is classified as obsolete, limiting long-term procurement viability. The 6-103080-0 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance Characteristics: The 6-103080-0 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 1-103080-0 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries.

Contact Finish Specification: The 6-103080-0 utilizes pure tin contact finish, compared to the tin-lead finish of the 1-103080-0. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and deliver functionally equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (12-position, 0.100" pitch, 3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating range) and mechanical parameters (through-hole solder termination, shrouded 4-wall configuration, push-pull fastening) remain identical between the two part numbers.

Packaging: The 6-103080-0 is supplied in tube packaging, providing standard handling and storage conditions suitable for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103080-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-103080-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-103080-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-103080-0 across all critical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, current rating, operating temperature range, mounting type, and termination method. The connector footprint and mating interface are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead finish on the 1-103080-0 and the tin finish on the 6-103080-0?

A: Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability. The tin finish on the 6-103080-0 reflects current manufacturing standards and regulatory compliance requirements. Functional performance in the specified operating environment (-65°C to 105°C) is equivalent.

Q: Why is the 1-103080-0 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-103080-0 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 6-103080-0 represents the active product line continuation within the AMPMODU Mod II series, offering improved compliance characteristics and assured long-term availability.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting the 6-103080-0 for the 1-103080-0?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and interface specifications. The 6-103080-0 is a direct form-fit-function replacement.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance on the 6-103080-0?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, which restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. This compliance status is required for procurement in many regulated markets and industries.

Q: Does the packaging difference (unspecified for 1-103080-0 versus tube for 6-103080-0) affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging affects handling, storage, and logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Tube packaging for the 6-103080-0 provides standard protection and organization for production environments.

Q: Are the contact dimensions identical between the two part numbers?

A: Yes. Contact length specifications are identical: mating contact length 0.240" (6.10mm), post contact length 0.130" (3.30mm), and overall contact length 0.589" (14.96mm). Insulation height is also identical at 0.549" (13.94mm).

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 1-103080-0 and 6-103080-0 are rated for 3A continuous current per contact.

Q: Can the 6-103080-0 operate within the same temperature range as the 1-103080-0?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, with identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.
