TE Connectivity 1-103645-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-103645-9 is a 20-position rectangular receptacle connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with discrete or ribbon cable in the 22-26 AWG wire gauge range. This connector is part of the AMPMODU MTE series and features a tin-lead contact finish with latch lock fastening. The part maintains active product status and is currently available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate access to equivalent components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connectors in this category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions (20)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Wire gauge range (22-26 AWG)
• Contact finish composition (Tin-Lead)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire type support (Discrete or Ribbon Cable)
• Physical features (Closed End)

The substitute part 6-103645-9 maintains identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters, confirming direct substitution capability within the AMPMODU MTE series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both part numbers 1-103645-9 and 6-103645-9 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for all applications requiring a 20-position IDC receptacle connector with the specified parameters.

Compliance Considerations:

The main part 1-103645-9 is classified as RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status. The substitute part 6-103645-9 carries RoHS status as Not applicable and REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements must account for these compliance differences when selecting between the two part numbers.

Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS codes differ only in the final digits (8000 vs. 4051), reflecting potential tariff classification variations based on packaging or origin.

Inventory Availability:

Selection between these equivalent parts may be driven by current inventory levels. The main part 1-103645-9 currently maintains 969 pieces in stock, while the substitute 6-103645-9 has 678 pieces available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-103645-9 be used as a direct replacement for 1-103645-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, termination method, and wire gauge range. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: The critical electrical parameters are: 20-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, female socket contact type, 22-26 AWG wire gauge compatibility, tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin thickness, and IDC termination method. Both parts match on all these parameters.

Q: What are the key mechanical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: The critical mechanical parameters are: receptacle connector type, free hanging in-line mounting, latch lock fastening, closed end feature, and support for both discrete and ribbon cable. Both parts match on all these parameters.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these part numbers?

A: Yes. The main part 1-103645-9 is RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status. The substitute part 6-103645-9 has RoHS status listed as Not applicable and REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Applications with regulatory compliance requirements must evaluate these differences.

Q: What is the difference between the HTSUS codes for these parts?

A: The main part carries HTSUS code 8536.69.8000 while the substitute carries 8536.69.4051. These variations may reflect differences in packaging, origin, or tariff classification but do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used with both discrete and ribbon cable?

A: Yes. Both parts support wire type specification for discrete or ribbon cable in the 22-26 AWG range using IDC termination.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both 1-103645-9 and 6-103645-9 maintain active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.
