Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 1-103308-2 and the identified substitute part 1-5103308-2 is based on matching the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 60
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Current Rating: 1A per Contact
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.240" (6.10mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.120" (3.05mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.388" (9.86mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Termination: Solder

Both parts belong to the AMP-Latch series and maintain identical dimensional and functional specifications. The substitute part differs in post-contact finish composition and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-103308-2 and 1-5103308-2 are Active status products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for standard applications requiring 60-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connectors with through-hole mounting.

Compliance Considerations:

The primary distinction between these parts relates to regulatory compliance. The substitute part 1-5103308-2 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the main part 1-103308-2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Selection between these parts should be based on project-specific regulatory requirements and end-use application compliance mandates.

Contact Finish Specification:

The main part 1-103308-2 features Tin-Lead post contact finish, while the substitute part 1-5103308-2 features Tin post contact finish. Both maintain identical mating contact finish specifications (Gold or Gold-Palladium at 15.0µin thickness) and identical post contact finish thickness (100.0µin). This difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Inventory and Availability:

Selection may also be influenced by inventory availability. The main part 1-103308-2 has 1115 pieces in stock, while the substitute part 1-5103308-2 has 951 pieces in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-103308-2 and 1-5103308-2 connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical specifications including 60 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, and push-pull fastening. They are directly interchangeable in applications where mechanical fit is the primary requirement.

Q: Are the 1-103308-2 and 1-5103308-2 connectors electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical electrical specifications including 1A per contact current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and matching contact materials and mating finishes. They are directly interchangeable in applications where electrical performance is the primary requirement.

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

A: The main part 1-103308-2 uses Tin-Lead post contact finish, while the substitute part 1-5103308-2 uses Tin post contact finish. Both maintain the same finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm). This difference reflects regulatory compliance evolution and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in standard solder termination applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The substitute part 1-5103308-2 is ROHS3 Compliant and should be selected for applications requiring RoHS compliance. The main part 1-103308-2 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for REACH-regulated applications?

A: The substitute part 1-5103308-2 is REACH Unaffected and should be selected for applications subject to REACH regulations. The main part 1-103308-2 is REACH Affected and may require additional documentation or restrictions in REACH-regulated markets.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1-103308-2 and 1-5103308-2 operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. This is the standard 0.1-inch pitch commonly used in rectangular connector applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the design does not have specific regulatory compliance requirements that would exclude one part. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, allowing direct substitution in PCB layouts and cable assemblies.

Q: What is the contact configuration for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 60 male pin contacts arranged in 2 rows with square contact shapes. The mating contact length is 0.240" (6.10mm) and the post contact length is 0.120" (3.05mm).

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the 1-103308-2 and 1-5103308-2 are supplied in tube packaging, suitable for standard component handling and storage procedures.
