Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-106081-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (1.5 A), voltage rating (500Vrms), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) must remain identical to ensure circuit performance and safety margins.

Mechanical Parameters: The connector must maintain 77 total positions (55 signal + 22 ground), 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 5 signal rows plus 2 ground rows, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination to ensure physical and functional compatibility with existing printed circuit board designs.

Connector Architecture: The connector style (C 11), connector type (header with male pins), and series designation (Z-PACK) define the physical form factor and interface standard.

The substitute part 1-5106081-9 satisfies all these criteria while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-5106081-9 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1-106081-9. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-106081-9 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited long-term availability. The 1-5106081-9 maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain reliability for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The 1-5106081-9 achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 1-106081-9 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS-compliant components, the 1-5106081-9 is the appropriate selection.

Contact Finish: The 1-5106081-9 specifies gold contact finish, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to the unspecified finish of the 1-106081-9.

Packaging: The 1-5106081-9 is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and logistics requirements.

Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, temperature ranges, and mechanical configurations, confirming functional interchangeability in circuit applications.
