TE Connectivity 146132-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 146132-4 is a rectangular connector header designed for surface mount applications. This component is a 6-position, single-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, featuring male pins, unshrouded design, and solder termination. The part operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and carries a current rating of 3A per contact.

The 146132-4 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and redesign activities where this connector is specified in existing designs or where inventory depletion requires alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 146132-4 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters: connector type (header, breakaway), contact type (male pin), number of positions (6), pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), current rating (3A), operating temperature range, insulation material, contact material, and flammability rating.

The substitute parts identified fall into two categories:

Direct Equivalent (Recommended Manufacturer Substitute): Part 5-146132-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 146132-4, with the primary distinction being product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status. This part is the manufacturer-recommended upgrade path.

Functional Alternatives (Similar Manufacturer Parts): Parts 77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) under the BERGSTIK® series. These parts share the same connector type, contact type, position count, pitch spacing, termination method, fastening type, current rating, and flammability rating. However, they differ in mounting type (through-hole, right-angle versus surface mount), contact material (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), insulation material (thermoplastic versus LCP), and operating temperature range (up to 125°C versus 105°C). These alternatives are suitable where board layout and mounting constraints permit through-hole, right-angle orientation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended): Part 5-146132-4 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 146132-4. Both parts are from the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5-146132-4 is active in production, RoHS compliant, and available in tube packaging. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production support where the original surface-mount, 6-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration is required.

For Alternative Mounting Configurations: Parts 77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® series provide functional equivalence where through-hole, right-angle mounting is acceptable. These parts maintain the same connector type, position count, pitch spacing, termination method, fastening type, current rating, and flammability rating. The primary differences are mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole versus surface mount), contact material composition, insulation material type, and extended operating temperature range (to 125°C). These alternatives are suitable for applications where board layout permits vertical connector orientation and where the enhanced temperature capability is beneficial.

All substitute parts carry RoHS compliance status and are active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-146132-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 146132-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-146132-4 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 146132-4, including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting type (surface mount), termination method, fastening type, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary advantage is that the 5-146132-4 is active in production and RoHS compliant, whereas the 146132-4 is obsolete.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 5-146132-4 and the Amphenol ICC 77315-101-06LF?

A: The primary differences are: (1) mounting type—the 5-146132-4 is surface mount, while the 77315-101-06LF is through-hole, right-angle; (2) contact material—copper alloy versus phosphor bronze; (3) insulation material—liquid crystal polymer (LCP) versus thermoplastic; (4) contact finish—tin versus gold; (5) operating temperature range—-65°C to 105°C versus -65°C to 125°C. Both maintain the same 6-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and 3A current rating.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® parts (77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF) suitable substitutes for surface-mount applications?

A: No. The BERGSTIK® parts are designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting and are not suitable for surface-mount applications. If surface-mount orientation is required, the 5-146132-4 is the appropriate substitute. The BERGSTIK® parts are alternatives only where board layout and design constraints permit through-hole, right-angle connector orientation.

Q: What is the difference between the 77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF?

A: Both parts are from the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series and share identical specifications except for contact post length. The 77315-101-06LF has a contact post length of 0.101" (2.57mm), while the 77315-113-06LF has a contact post length of 0.136" (3.46mm). Selection between these two depends on the specific board thickness and mounting depth requirements of the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 5-146132-4, 77315-101-06LF, and 77315-113-06LF are all RoHS compliant. The original 146132-4 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute parts are necessary.

Q: What packaging options are available for these parts?

A: The 146132-4 is available in standard packaging (not specified). The 5-146132-4 is supplied in tube packaging. The 77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should be based on production volume and handling requirements.

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

A: The 146132-4 and 5-146132-4 operate to 105°C. The 77315-101-06LF and 77315-113-06LF operate to 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® parts provide extended temperature capability, provided that through-hole, right-angle mounting is acceptable.

Q: Are all parts rated for the same current capacity?

A: Yes. All parts carry a 3A current rating per contact, supporting equivalent electrical performance across the 6-position configuration.
