Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 6-103916-7 is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Identical pitch spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Identical row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical position count: 100 positions in 2 rows
• Identical voltage rating: 30VAC
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 105°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Identical connector type: Header
• Identical contact type: Male Pin
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination method: Solder
• Identical contact shape: Square
• Identical insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Identical insulation color: Black
• Identical fastening type: Push-Pull

Physical Dimensions:

• Identical contact length - mating: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Identical contact length - post: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical overall contact length: 0.325" (8.26mm)
• Identical insulation height: 0.100" (2.54mm)

Contact Finish:

• Mating surface: Gold with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness (identical)
• Post surface: Tin-Lead (main part) versus Tin (substitute part)
• Post thickness: 150.0µin (3.81µm) (identical)

The substitute part maintains full compatibility across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The contact finish post material differs only in the absence of lead content in the substitute part, reflecting modern RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-103916-7 and 6-103916-7 are active production parts from TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU System 50 series. The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, contact geometry, operating temperature range, and voltage rating.

The primary distinction between the parts is the post contact finish material and RoHS compliance status. The substitute part 6-103916-7 features tin-only post plating and carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, whereas the main part 1-103916-7 uses tin-lead post plating and is marked as not applicable for RoHS. Both parts maintain identical contact finish thickness specifications and identical mating surface gold plating.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and application constraints. The 6-103916-7 is suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The 1-103916-7 remains available for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. Both parts are suitable for automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications within the specified operating temperature and voltage parameters.
