TE Connectivity 1-103080-2 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-103080-2 is a vertical rectangular connector header from the AMPMODU Mod II series, designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-103080-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 14-position header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Physical Form Factor: Vertical orientation, shrouded 4-wall construction, through-hole mounting
• Electrical Characteristics: 3A current rating, male pin contact type
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range -65°C ~ 105°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series Compatibility: AMPMODU Mod II series

The substitute part 6-103080-2 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while differing in product status (active versus obsolete) and contact finish composition (tin versus tin-lead). These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-103080-2 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 1-103080-2. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, temperature range, and flammability rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 6-103080-2 is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status, whereas the 1-103080-2 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. The contact finish composition differs (tin versus tin-lead), reflecting the RoHS transition. This change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring 14-position 2.54mm pitch rectangular connectors with through-hole solder termination, the 6-103080-2 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 1-103080-2 is no longer available, the 6-103080-2 provides functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-103080-2 and 6-103080-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including 14 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall construction, through-hole mounting, and overall contact dimensions. They are directly interchangeable in board layouts and mating applications.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 1-103080-2 features tin-lead contact finish, while the 6-103080-2 uses tin finish. Both maintain 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. The tin finish on the 6-103080-2 reflects RoHS3 compliance requirements. This change does not affect electrical performance or current-carrying capacity.

Q: Why is the 1-103080-2 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-103080-2 is obsolete due to RoHS regulatory transitions. The 6-103080-2 represents the compliant successor within the same product family, maintaining all functional specifications while meeting current environmental standards.

Q: Can the 6-103080-2 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-103080-2 is functionally equivalent and mechanically compatible. No design modifications are required for substitution. The part is available in active production status with higher inventory availability than the obsolete 1-103080-2.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 1-103080-2 packaging specification is not defined in available data. The 6-103080-2 is supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same current and temperature specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3A current and operate across the -65°C ~ 105°C temperature range. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 6-103080-2 should be specified for new designs. It is the active product with current manufacturing support, RoHS3 compliance, and higher inventory availability. The 1-103080-2 is obsolete and should not be selected for new applications.
