Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-103361-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (16)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Current rating (3A)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation color (Black)

The substitute part 6-103361-4 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all specified parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-103361-4 is classified as an obsolete product. The substitute part 6-103361-4 provides direct functional and mechanical equivalence while offering the advantage of active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

Key Distinctions:

The substitute part 6-103361-4 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original 1-103361-4 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The substitute part carries REACH Unaffected status, providing clearer regulatory documentation compared to the original part's Vendor Undefined status.

The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: the original uses Tin-Lead, while the substitute uses Tin. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with solder termination processes.

The substitute part is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, operating temperature range, current rating, and connector geometry remain identical between the two parts, ensuring direct substitution capability in circuit board designs and cable assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103361-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-103361-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-103361-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally equivalent for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The 6-103361-4 is RoHS Compliant, meaning it meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements. The 1-103361-4 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 6-103361-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the Tin versus Tin-Lead post finish affect soldering or performance?

A: Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes. The Tin finish on the 6-103361-4 substitute is a lead-free alternative to the Tin-Lead finish on the original part. Both maintain the specified thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the two parts?

A: No. All dimensional specifications are identical, including contact length (mating and post), insulation height, and overall connector geometry. The parts are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 6-103361-4 substitute is supplied in Tube packaging. The original 1-103361-4 packaging specification is not provided. Packaging differences do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The 1-103361-4 is listed as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 6-103361-4 is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued availability and support for this connector type.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer and series?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMPMODU Mod II series. They share the same base product number (103361) and differ only in the prefix designation.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry a current rating of 3A per contact. This specification is identical across all 16 positions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
