Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for equivalency and substitution are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating pitch)
• Number of positions (10 positions)
• Number of rows (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact length - mating (0.230" / 5.84mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Style (Board to Board or Cable)
• Shrouding (Unshrouded)

Identified Substitute Categories:

1. Direct Equivalent (MFR Recommended): Part 5-147279-2 maintains identical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series and represents the active production equivalent.

2. Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent: Part GEC05DABN-M30 from Sullins Connector Solutions matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including 10-position, 2-row configuration, 2.54mm pitch, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening.

3. Partial Substitute: Part 54202-G0802LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) shares the same pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method but differs in position count (4 positions versus 10 positions) and is therefore suitable only for applications requiring reduced position density.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete to Active Transition):

Part 5-147279-2 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent and primary selection for replacing the obsolete 147279-2. This part maintains identical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series and represents the active production continuation. The transition from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant status and from REACH Affected to REACH Unaffected provides improved regulatory compliance for new designs. Available inventory of 2905 pieces in Cut Tape packaging supports production requirements.

For Cross-Manufacturer Equivalency:

Part GEC05DABN-M30 from Sullins Connector Solutions provides a functionally equivalent alternative with identical electrical and mechanical parameters for the 10-position, 2-row configuration. This part achieves ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status. Differences include contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy), contact finish (Tin versus Gold), insulation material (Polyamide PA9T versus LCP), and specified operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus unspecified). These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility or basic electrical function for standard applications.

For Position-Reduced Applications:

Part 54202-G0802LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) is suitable only for applications requiring 4-position connectivity. This part shares identical pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination specifications but is not a direct substitute for 10-position requirements. Selection of this part requires circuit redesign to accommodate reduced position density.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations:

All identified substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and EAR99 export classification. The transition to ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected status in recommended equivalents (5-147279-2 and GEC05DABN-M30) provides enhanced regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 5-147279-2 be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 147279-2?

A: Yes. Part 5-147279-2 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent and maintains identical specifications for all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including 10-position configuration, 2.54mm pitch, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences are product status (Active versus Obsolete), packaging format (Cut Tape versus unspecified), and improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected).

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 147279-2 and the Sullins GEC05DABN-M30?

A: Both parts share identical position count (10), row configuration (2), pitch spacing (2.54mm), mounting type (surface mount), and termination method (solder). Differences include contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy), contact finish (Tin versus Gold), insulation material (Polyamide PA9T versus LCP), and specified operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus unspecified). These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility or basic electrical function.

Q: Is the Amphenol ICC 54202-G0802LF a suitable substitute for the 147279-2?

A: The 54202-G0802LF is not a direct substitute due to position count mismatch (4 positions versus 10 positions). This part is suitable only for applications requiring reduced position density. All other critical parameters including pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between 147279-2 and 5-147279-2?

A: The 147279-2 packaging is unspecified, while 5-147279-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Cut Tape packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and provides improved handling and component protection during manufacturing. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: How do the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses affect part selection?

A: The obsolete 147279-2 carries RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected designations. The recommended equivalent 5-147279-2 achieves ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status, indicating compliance with current regulatory requirements and reduced substance restrictions. For new designs, selection of ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected parts ensures alignment with current manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there any thermal or current rating considerations for substitution?

A: The original 147279-2 does not specify operating temperature or current rating. The Sullins GEC05DABN-M30 specifies 3A current rating and -65°C to 150°C operating temperature range. The Amphenol ICC 54202-G0802LF specifies 3A current rating and -65°C to 130°C operating temperature range. Application-specific requirements should be evaluated against these specifications.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating for these connectors?

A: All identified parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. This classification applies to the 147279-2, 5-147279-2, GEC05DABN-M30, and 54202-G0802LF.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The 147279-2 and 5-147279-2 are fully interchangeable within the AMPMODU Mod II series. The GEC05DABN-M30 is mechanically and electrically compatible for 10-position applications but uses different contact materials and finishes. The 54202-G0802LF is not interchangeable due to position count differences. Design validation should confirm compatibility with specific application requirements.
