Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1761602-5 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (14), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), and fastening type (push-pull). All identified substitute parts maintain these critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Secondary parameters including contact length, insulation height, contact material, and contact finish thickness may vary within acceptable tolerances for board-to-cable/wire applications. Operating temperature range, current rating, voltage rating, and flammability rating establish the performance envelope within which substitutes must operate.

The following parts are qualified as direct substitutes:

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2-1761603-5 is the primary recommended substitute for the obsolete 1761602-5. This part maintains identical core electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The increased contact finish thickness on the mating surface (30.0µin vs. 15.0µin) provides enhanced durability and contact reliability. The blue insulation color differentiates the part visually but does not affect electrical performance. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the original 1761602-5 specification.

TE Connectivity 5103308-2 is an alternative substitute within the TE Connectivity AMP-Latch series. This part maintains core connector geometry and electrical ratings while incorporating brass contact material and extended post length. The increased insulation height (0.388" vs. 0.350") and post length (0.120" vs. 0.102") may require PCB layout verification to ensure compatibility with existing board designs. RoHS compliance status is confirmed. This substitute is suitable for applications where the dimensional variations are accommodated by the design.

Assmann WSW Components AWHW 14G-0202-T is a third-party substitute offering enhanced current rating capability (3A vs. 1A per contact). This part differs in multiple dimensional parameters including contact length mating (0.224" vs. 0.240"), contact length post (0.130" vs. 0.102"), and insulation height (0.354" vs. 0.350"). The operating temperature minimum is reduced to -40°C, which may limit applicability in extended low-temperature environments. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity and where dimensional variations are acceptable.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on application requirements for current capacity, operating temperature range, and PCB layout constraints. All three substitutes maintain the critical connector interface specifications (pitch, row spacing, shrouding, fastening type) required for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-1761603-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 1761602-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-1761603-5 maintains identical core specifications including connector type, contact type, number of positions, rows, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination, shrouding, and fastening type. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. not applicable), contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. 15.0µin), and insulation color (blue vs. black). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between the 1761602-5 and 5103308-2?

A: The 5103308-2 differs in contact length post (0.120" vs. 0.102"), insulation height (0.388" vs. 0.350"), and contact material (brass vs. phosphor bronze). These dimensional variations may affect PCB footprint compatibility and mating interface geometry. Design verification is required to confirm that the increased post length and insulation height do not create interference with existing board layouts or mating connectors.

Q: Is the AWHW 14G-0202-T suitable for applications requiring the full -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range?

A: No. The AWHW 14G-0202-T has a minimum operating temperature of -40°C, which does not meet the -65°C lower limit of the original 1761602-5. This substitute is suitable only for applications with operating temperature requirements of -40°C to 105°C or higher. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation must use either the 2-1761603-5 or 5103308-2.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness differences between substitute parts?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability, wear resistance, and long-term reliability. The 1761602-5 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) mating finish thickness. The 2-1761603-5 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm), offering enhanced durability. The 5103308-2 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm), matching the original. The AWHW 14G-0202-T specifies flash finish thickness, which is thinner than specified values. Thicker finishes generally provide longer contact life in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1761602-5 has RoHS status listed as "not applicable." The 2-1761603-5 and AWHW 14G-0202-T are ROHS3 compliant. The 5103308-2 is RoHS compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 2-1761603-5 and AWHW 14G-0202-T are suitable. The 5103308-2 meets RoHS requirements but with a different compliance designation.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 2-1761603-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 5103308-2 is supplied in tube packaging. The AWHW 14G-0202-T is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement logistics, handling, and storage requirements. Verify packaging compatibility with receiving and inventory management procedures.

Q: Can the higher current rating of the AWHW 14G-0202-T (3A vs. 1A) be utilized in existing designs?

A: The AWHW 14G-0202-T supports 3A per contact, compared to 1A for the original 1761602-5. However, utilization of the higher current rating requires verification that the mating connector, PCB traces, and circuit design support the increased current. The higher current capability does not automatically apply to existing designs; it is available only if the complete signal path is rated for 3A operation.

Q: What is the difference between the AMP-Latch series parts and the Assmann part?

A: The TE Connectivity parts (1761602-5, 2-1761603-5, and 5103308-2) are part of the AMP-Latch series. The Assmann AWHW 14G-0202-T is a separate product line from a different manufacturer. While both maintain the same core connector specifications (pitch, row spacing, shrouding, fastening type), they may have different mating connector compatibility and mechanical tolerances. Verify mating connector compatibility when substituting between manufacturers.
