Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-103414-6 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 1-103414-6. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature range, and contact geometry.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status: the 1-103414-6 is obsolete while the 6-103414-6 is active and currently manufactured. The 6-103414-6 additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 1-103414-6 is RoHS non-compliant. The post-contact finish differs (tin versus tin-lead), though both maintain equivalent contact finish thickness specifications.

For new designs and production applications, the 6-103414-6 is the appropriate selection due to active product status and regulatory compliance. Existing designs utilizing the 1-103414-6 can transition to the 6-103414-6 without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or electrical performance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103414-6 directly replace the 1-103414-6 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 6-103414-6 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. PCB footprints, mating connector compatibility, and electrical performance remain unchanged. The active product status and ROHS3 compliance of the 6-103414-6 make it the appropriate choice for replacement.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin-lead and tin?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and contact performance at the specified 3A current rating and operating temperature range. The tin finish on the 6-103414-6 reflects modern manufacturing standards and RoHS compliance requirements. The contact finish thickness remains identical at 100.0µin (2.54µm) for both variants.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1-103414-6 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 6-103414-6 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging differences do not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Why is the 1-103414-6 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects the product lifecycle status assigned by TE Connectivity. The 6-103414-6 represents the current active equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series and is the recommended selection for all new applications.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 6-103414-6 affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance indicates adherence to current environmental and regulatory standards. The 6-103414-6 is fully compatible with existing designs and applications. For new designs subject to RoHS requirements, the 6-103414-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the mating contact specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 1-103414-6 and 6-103414-6 feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness, 0.240" (6.10mm) mating contact length, and square contact geometry. Mating performance and connector compatibility are identical.
