TE Connectivity 1-146282-0 Rectangular Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-146282-0 is a vertical rectangular connector header from the AMPMODU Mod II series, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 10-position, single-row header connector operates at 3A current rating with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with tin-lead finish. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-146282-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (10)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Manufacturing Parameters:

• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)
• Base product number (146282)

Substitute parts must match all listed parameters without deviation. Contact finish composition differences are permissible when all other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6-146282-0 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1-146282-0 connector header. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, current rating, temperature range, and insulation properties.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 1-146282-0 is classified as obsolete, while the 6-146282-0 maintains active manufacturing status with current inventory availability (702 units in stock). The contact finish composition differs between the two parts (tin-lead versus tin), but this difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

For new designs and production applications, the 6-146282-0 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and ongoing manufacturer support. Existing designs utilizing the 1-146282-0 can transition to the 6-146282-0 without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-146282-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-146282-0 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 6-146282-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-146282-0. All contact positions, pitch spacing, mounting hole locations, and electrical ratings are identical. No PCB redesign or connector interface modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 1-146282-0 features tin-lead contact finish, while the 6-146282-0 uses tin finish. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance at the specified 3A current rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The finish difference does not impact connector performance or mating characteristics.

Q: Why is the 1-146282-0 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1-146282-0 has been superseded by the 6-146282-0 in the manufacturer's product line. The 6-146282-0 maintains identical functionality while offering active manufacturing support and current availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical compliance designations: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 ECCN classification, and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS code. Both are REACH Affected components. The 1-146282-0 is RoHS non-compliant, and RoHS status information for the 6-146282-0 was not provided in the specification data.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, which is the standard spacing for this connector family. This pitch is compatible with standard 0.1-inch breadboard and PCB grid layouts.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both the 1-146282-0 and 6-146282-0 are rated for continuous operation across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range. The Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material and copper alloy contacts maintain performance throughout this entire range.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 3A per contact. Total circuit current capacity depends on the number of contacts utilized and the specific application circuit design.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for board-to-board or cable applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are classified as Board to Board or Cable style connectors, providing flexibility for various interconnection configurations.
