TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-103167-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-103167-2 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This shrouded 30-position connector operates within the AMPMODU Mod II series and features male pin contacts with solder termination and detent lock fastening. The connector is specified for applications requiring 3A current capacity across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative component selection. Substitutes must maintain compatibility across critical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch specifications, and mounting characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 30
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Style: Board to Board or Cable

The Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as a direct substitute. Both connectors maintain identical position counts, pitch specifications, and mounting configurations, enabling functional interchangeability in applications where the specified parameters are required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 Selection Criteria:

The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 is the primary specification when applications require:

• Operating temperatures extending to -65°C minimum
• Current capacity of 3A per contact
• Detent lock fastening mechanism
• Tin-Lead post finish for specific soldering processes
• RoHS non-compliant component acceptance

Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA Selection Criteria:

The Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA is suitable as a substitute when applications permit:

• Operating temperature minimum of -40°C
• Current capacity of 1A per contact
• Push-Pull fastening mechanism
• Gold post finish compatibility
• ROHS3 compliance requirement
• REACH unaffected regulatory status

Both connectors maintain active product status and share identical mechanical and electrical pitch specifications, connector positioning, and shrouding configurations. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding temperature extremes, current capacity, fastening mechanism, and regulatory compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 in all applications?

A: The Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch, and mounting configuration. However, substitution is application-dependent. The BHR-30-HUA operates at a minimum temperature of -40°C compared to -65°C for the 1-103167-2, and provides 1A current capacity versus 3A. Applications requiring the full -65°C to 105°C temperature range or 3A current capacity require the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What are the key differences in fastening mechanisms between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 uses detent lock fastening, while the Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA uses push-pull fastening. These represent different mechanical engagement and disengagement methods. The choice depends on application requirements for connector retention and mating force characteristics.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish that affect soldering or reliability?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 features tin-lead post finish, while the Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA features gold post finish. These finishes affect soldering characteristics, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions. Selection depends on soldering process compatibility and application environment.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling. PBT glass-filled material typically provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. Material selection affects connector durability under mechanical stress and thermal cycling.

Q: How do the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses affect part selection?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. The Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulatory requirements must use the Adam Tech part. Applications without these regulatory constraints may use either part based on other technical requirements.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-103167-2 has 1060 pieces in stock. The Adam Tech BHR-30-HUA has 1935 pieces in stock. Inventory availability may influence part selection when immediate delivery is required.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Both connectors maintain identical pitch specifications (0.100" or 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" or 2.54mm) with 30 positions in 2 rows. PCB footprints designed for one connector accommodate the other. However, mechanical envelope differences including insulation height and contact length variations may affect clearance in confined spaces.
