Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 148167-5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TE Connectivity Eurocard connector family. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 96-position receptacle with female sockets
• Position Loading: 64 positions loaded
• Pitch and Geometry: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3-row configuration, Style C
• Electrical Class: Level, Class 2
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination
• Contact Material: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Insulation Material: Polyester, glass-filled composition

The substitute part 1-148167-5 meets all these criteria while maintaining active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1-148167-5 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 148167-5. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, mounting method, and environmental operating parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 1-148167-5 maintains active production status with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 148167-5 is obsolete with undefined RoHS status. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 1-148167-5 is the appropriate selection due to its active availability and enhanced regulatory alignment.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Eurocard series and are suitable for backplane connector applications requiring 96-position, 3-row configurations with press-fit termination and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-148167-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 148167-5?

A: Yes. The 1-148167-5 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 148167-5. All critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, contact finish, and operating temperature range are identical. The primary difference is that 1-148167-5 is in active production while 148167-5 is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The 148167-5 and 1-148167-5 are variants within the same connector family. The "1-" prefix on 1-148167-5 indicates a different packaging or distribution configuration (bulk packaging). Both parts are functionally identical for PCB mounting applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Both feature 96 positions with 64 positions loaded, 0.100" pitch, 3-row configuration, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. PCB layouts and mating connector specifications remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance on the 1-148167-5?

A: ROHS3 compliance on the 1-148167-5 indicates adherence to current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This is relevant for applications subject to environmental and regulatory requirements. The obsolete 148167-5 has undefined RoHS status, making the 1-148167-5 the preferred choice for regulated applications.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect the connector's performance?

A: No. Packaging differences do not affect connector performance or electrical characteristics. The bulk packaging of 1-148167-5 is a distribution method and does not alter the connector's functional specifications or compatibility with existing designs.

Q: What is the position loading specification, and why is it important?

A: The connector has 96 total positions but only 64 are loaded with contacts. This specification defines the actual number of signal or power connections available. Both the 148167-5 and 1-148167-5 maintain identical position loading, ensuring equivalent functionality in existing applications.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for industrial and harsh environment applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating provides additional safety assurance for temperature-sensitive installations.
