Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 1-103669-0 and the equivalent part 6-103669-0 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and position count (11-position header, male pin)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (through-hole, press-fit and solder termination)
• Physical dimensions (contact lengths, insulation height, overall contact length)
• Contact material and shape (brass, square)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Current rating (3A)
• Shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Fastening type (latch holder)
• Applications (automotive, general purpose, medical, telecommunications)

Distinguishing Factors:

• Contact finish composition (tin-lead vs. tin)
• RoHS compliance status
• Inventory availability

The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications requiring the specified connector parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-103669-0 and 6-103669-0 are active production parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for all specified connector functions. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance and regulatory requirements:

1-103669-0 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or not required
• Tin-lead contact finish specifications are required
• Existing designs with established tin-lead material specifications

6-103669-0 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• New designs targeting lead-free manufacturing standards
• Tin contact finish specifications are acceptable
• Higher inventory availability (3442 units vs. 851 units)

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating characteristics. The primary distinction is the contact finish composition and RoHS compliance status. Part 6-103669-0 offers superior inventory availability and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 1-103669-0 and 6-103669-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical current ratings (3A), operating temperature ranges (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact materials (brass). The contact finish difference (tin-lead vs. tin) does not affect electrical performance.

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

A: The contact finish composition differs between the two parts. 1-103669-0 uses tin-lead finish, while 6-103669-0 uses tin finish. Both finishes provide equivalent contact resistance and reliability at the specified 3A current rating and operating temperature range.

Q: Can I substitute 6-103669-0 for 1-103669-0 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical substitution is direct. However, if the original design specifies tin-lead contact finish or RoHS non-compliance, design documentation should be reviewed. For new designs or designs without specific finish requirements, 6-103669-0 is the preferred selection due to ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of lead and other hazardous materials. Part 6-103669-0 meets these requirements; part 1-103669-0 does not.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: contact lengths (mating 0.230", post 0.130"), overall contact length (0.545"), insulation height (0.535"), and all other mechanical specifications.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing between mating contacts and positions.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for automotive applications along with general purpose, medical, and telecommunications use. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and operate across the -65°C ~ 105°C temperature range required for automotive environments.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A continuous current per contact.

Q: How many positions does this connector support?

A: Both parts are 11-position connectors in a single-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing.

Q: What mounting method is used?

A: Both parts use through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination options. The fastening type is latch holder with keying slot features.
