TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-103414-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-103414-8 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a vertical orientation with 20 positions at 2.54mm pitch, shrouded 4-wall construction, and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-103414-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Connector pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of positions: 20
• Current rating: 3A
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Contact finish - mating: Gold

Mechanical Specifications:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Insulation color: Black

Physical Dimensions:

• Contact length - mating: 0.240" (6.10mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.130" (3.30mm)
• Overall contact length: 0.589" (14.96mm)
• Insulation height: 0.549" (13.94mm)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Variations in contact finish post material, packaging configuration, or compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability when all electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-103414-8 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1-103414-8. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature range, contact geometry, and termination method.

Key Differences:

The 6-103414-8 differs from the main part in three non-functional areas:

1. Product Status: The 6-103414-8 is classified as Active, whereas the 1-103414-8 is Obsolete. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and component availability.

2. RoHS Compliance: The 6-103414-8 is RoHS Compliant, while the 1-103414-8 is RoHS non-compliant. This difference is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations and environmental compliance requirements.

3. Contact Finish - Post: The 6-103414-8 uses Tin finish on the post, whereas the 1-103414-8 uses Tin-Lead finish. Both finishes meet the specified contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with solder termination processes.

4. Packaging: The 6-103414-8 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the 1-103414-8 packaging is not specified.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental standards, the 6-103414-8 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part provides equivalent functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103414-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-103414-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-103414-8 is functionally equivalent to the 1-103414-8 across all electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors feature identical 20-position 2.54mm pitch headers with through-hole solder termination, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The parts are interchangeable at the circuit board level.

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

A: The 6-103414-8 is RoHS Compliant, meaning it contains no lead or other restricted substances. The 1-103414-8 is RoHS non-compliant due to its Tin-Lead post finish. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (including EU markets and many industrial standards), the 6-103414-8 must be used. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable.

Q: Does the difference in post finish material (Tin vs. Tin-Lead) affect soldering or performance?

A: Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes and meet the specified contact finish thickness requirement of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The post finish does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability. The choice between Tin and Tin-Lead is primarily driven by compliance and manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Why is the 1-103414-8 listed as Obsolete?

A: The Obsolete status indicates that the 1-103414-8 is no longer in active production. The 6-103414-8 represents the current production equivalent. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 6-103414-8 should be specified to ensure long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when switching from 1-103414-8 to 6-103414-8?

A: The 6-103414-8 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the 1-103414-8 packaging is not specified. Tube packaging is standard for connector distribution and does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical properties. Packaging selection may impact inventory management and handling procedures but does not influence circuit board assembly or performance.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for two connectors to be considered substitutes?

A: Substitute connectors must match across all electrical specifications (pitch, position count, current rating, operating temperature), mechanical specifications (connector type, mounting method, termination type, shrouding, contact geometry), and physical dimensions (contact lengths, insulation height). Variations in product status, compliance certifications, packaging, or post finish material do not prevent substitution when all functional parameters are identical.

Q: Is the 6-103414-8 available in the same quantities as the 1-103414-8?

A: Inventory levels are independent of part equivalence. The 6-103414-8 has 786 pieces in stock, while the 1-103414-8 has 764 pieces. Current inventory should be verified directly with the supplier for procurement planning purposes.
