Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1-499582-1 with the active equivalent 1-5102154-1 is based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header)
• Contact type and gender (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (60 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting methodology (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Current rating per contact (1A)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMP-Latch)

Differences in Substitute Part: The substitute part 1-5102154-1 differs in contact geometry specifications (mating and post contact lengths), termination method (solder only versus press-fit/solder combination), contact finish composition on posts (tin versus tin-lead), and product status (active versus obsolete). These differences do not affect functional interchangeability for standard board-to-cable/wire connection applications within the specified electrical and thermal parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-5102154-1 is the appropriate replacement for the obsolete 1-499582-1 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Availability: The main part 1-499582-1 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The substitute 1-5102154-1 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory of 1260 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable procurement for current and future applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 1-5102154-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part remains RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions and markets.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications for all critical functional parameters including connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch spacing, mounting methodology, operating temperature range, current rating, and flammability classification. These parameters establish direct functional interchangeability for board-to-cable/wire connection applications.

Contact Geometry Variations: The substitute part incorporates modified contact post lengths and mating contact lengths. These dimensional changes do not compromise electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within standard PCB mounting and mating applications. The contact finish composition on posts transitions from tin-lead to tin, which is compatible with modern soldering processes and environmental standards.

Termination Method: The substitute part specifies solder termination exclusively, eliminating the press-fit option available in the main part. Applications requiring press-fit termination must evaluate alternative solutions or confirm solder-only compatibility with design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-5102154-1 substitute directly replace the 1-499582-1 in existing designs?

A: The 1-5102154-1 provides direct functional replacement for the 1-499582-1 in applications utilizing solder termination. The connector maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for position count, pitch spacing, mounting type, operating temperature range, and current rating. Designs currently using press-fit termination require evaluation of solder-only termination compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), contact post finish composition (tin-lead versus tin), and contact geometry dimensions. The mating contact length increases from 0.201" to 0.240", and the post contact length decreases from 0.174" to 0.110". Termination options change from press-fit/solder to solder only.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB mounting?

A: Both parts utilize identical through-hole mounting methodology with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. PCB hole patterns designed for the 1-499582-1 accommodate the 1-5102154-1 without modification. The modified contact post length in the substitute part may affect solder joint geometry; however, this does not compromise electrical or mechanical integrity within standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Does the change from tin-lead to tin post finish affect soldering?

A: The transition from tin-lead to tin post finish aligns with modern lead-free soldering standards. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder reflow and wave soldering processes. The contact finish thickness remains constant at 100.0µin (2.54µm), maintaining consistent electrical contact resistance.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance in the substitute part?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the substitute part meets current Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. This compliance status is required for many applications and markets, particularly in consumer electronics and regulated industries. The main part's non-compliant status may restrict its use in new designs subject to these regulations.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical current rating (1A per contact), voltage rating specifications where provided, operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact finish specifications for mating surfaces (gold or gold-palladium at 30.0µin thickness). The electrical performance characteristics are equivalent for standard connection applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The main part 1-499582-1 does not specify packaging information. The substitute part 1-5102154-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement requirements for specific packaging configurations should be confirmed with the supplier.

Q: Can the 1-5102154-1 be used in applications requiring press-fit termination?

A: No. The substitute part 1-5102154-1 specifies solder termination exclusively. Applications requiring press-fit termination capability must identify alternative connector solutions or confirm design compatibility with solder-only termination methodology.
