Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 6-103166-8 (Primary Substitute)

The 6-103166-8 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 1-103167-7. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 6-103166-8 is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (34,737 units). This substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. Contact finish on the post differs from tin-lead to tin, which maintains solder compatibility. The operating temperature range remains -65°C to 105°C, and current rating is maintained at 3A.

Adam Tech BHR-40-HUA (Secondary Substitute)

The BHR-40-HUA provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility. This part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Notable differences include a push-pull fastening mechanism instead of detent lock, reduced insulation height (0.356" versus 0.400"), and a lower current rating of 1A compared to 3A. The operating temperature range is narrower (-40°C to 105°C versus -65°C to 105°C). The BHR-40-HUA incorporates glass-filled PBT insulation material and brass contacts with gold finish on both mating and post surfaces. Selection of this substitute requires verification that the reduced current rating and narrower temperature range are acceptable for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103166-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-103167-7?

A: Yes. The 6-103166-8 maintains identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), and termination method (solder). Both components operate across the same temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and carry the same 3A current rating. The primary difference is product status: the 6-103166-8 is active production while the 1-103167-7 is obsolete.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 1-103167-7 is RoHS non-compliant due to its tin-lead contact finish on the post. The 6-103166-8 achieves ROHS3 compliance with a tin-only post finish. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 6-103166-8 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why does the BHR-40-HUA have a lower current rating?

A: The BHR-40-HUA is rated for 1A maximum current, compared to 3A for both the 1-103167-7 and 6-103166-8. This difference reflects the contact material composition and design specifications of the Adam Tech component. Applications requiring 3A current capacity must use either the original part or the 6-103166-8 substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1-103167-7 packaging specification is not provided. The 6-103166-8 and BHR-40-HUA are both supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before finalizing part selection.

Q: What is the impact of the different fastening types?

A: The 1-103167-7 and 6-103166-8 both use detent lock fastening, providing positive mechanical engagement. The BHR-40-HUA uses push-pull fastening, which operates differently mechanically. If your application design relies on detent lock engagement characteristics, the 6-103166-8 is the appropriate substitute. The BHR-40-HUA requires evaluation of mechanical compatibility with your mating connector design.

Q: Can I use the BHR-40-HUA in applications requiring -65°C operation?

A: No. The BHR-40-HUA operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which does not extend to -65°C. Applications requiring operation at -65°C must use either the original 1-103167-7 or the 6-103166-8 substitute.

Q: What contact material differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1-103167-7 and 6-103166-8 both use phosphor bronze contacts. The BHR-40-HUA uses brass contacts. Phosphor bronze provides superior spring characteristics and contact reliability in high-cycle applications. Brass contacts are suitable for general-purpose applications with lower cycle requirements. Verify contact material compatibility with your application's mating connector specifications.
