TE Connectivity 1-103414-2 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-103414-2 is a shrouded vertical rectangular connector header from the AMPMODU Mod II series, designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector operates at 3A current rating with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-lead post finish. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-103414-2 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 6-103414-2 maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Connector Configuration: 14-position, single-row, shrouded header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Contact Specifications: Male pin type with square contact shape, gold-plated mating surface (30.0µin thickness), and copper alloy material
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, identical contact lengths and insulation height
• Material Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, thermoplastic insulation, black color

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the post contact finish (tin-lead versus tin) and product status (obsolete versus active). Both parts are functionally interchangeable in applications requiring 14-position 2.54mm pitch rectangular connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-103414-2 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1-103414-2. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 1-103414-2 is classified as obsolete, limiting availability for new production and long-term supply chain continuity. The 6-103414-2 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Certifications: The 6-103414-2 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions. The original part is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict use in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts are identical across all functional parameters including connector configuration, contact specifications, current rating, operating temperature range, and mechanical dimensions. The parts are directly interchangeable in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Contact Finish Consideration: The substitute part features tin post finish compared to tin-lead in the original part. Both finishes meet the specified 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness requirement and are compatible with standard solder reflow processes.

For new designs and production applications, the 6-103414-2 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact historical specifications, the 1-103414-2 remains available in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-103414-2 and 6-103414-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications including 3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and contact material composition. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin post finishes?

A: The 1-103414-2 features tin-lead post finish while the 6-103414-2 features tin post finish. Both meet the 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness specification. Tin post finish is the modern standard and is compatible with lead-free solder processes. Tin-lead finish is a legacy specification.

Q: Can I use the 6-103414-2 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-103414-2 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, and electrical performance. No PCB layout or circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Why is the 1-103414-2 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The 6-103414-2 is the active equivalent and is the recommended part for all new applications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance?

A: RoHS compliance restricts hazardous substances in electrical components. The 6-103414-2 is RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements in the European Union and other jurisdictions. The 1-103414-2 is non-compliant and may not be acceptable for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 6-103414-2 is supplied in tube packaging. The 1-103414-2 packaging specification is not provided. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the connector pitch and how does it affect compatibility?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, the standard spacing between contact positions. This pitch is compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacles and mating connectors. Pitch is a critical parameter for mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used for board-to-board and cable applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for board-to-board or cable style applications. The shrouded 4-wall design and through-hole solder termination support both mounting configurations.
