Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7-102619-3 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 2-102619-3. Both components are members of the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications across all critical parameters.

Primary Advantages of 7-102619-3:

The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The 7-102619-3 incorporates RoHS-compliant construction with tin post finish, eliminating lead content while maintaining electrical performance. The REACH status is defined as unaffected, providing regulatory clarity for international applications. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which differs from the main part's unspecified packaging format.

Compatibility Basis:

Full mechanical and electrical interchangeability is established through identical pitch specifications (0.100" mating and row spacing), position count (50 positions in 2 rows), contact configuration (male pin, square shape), mounting method (through hole), shrouding design (4-wall shrouded), and current rating (3A). Operating temperature range, flammability rating, and contact materials remain unchanged. The contact finish modification from tin-lead to tin represents a material improvement aligned with modern manufacturing standards.

Regulatory Compliance:

The 7-102619-3 addresses the regulatory limitations of the obsolete 2-102619-3 through RoHS compliance and defined REACH status, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-102619-3 and 7-102619-3 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical dimensions, pitch specifications (0.100"), position count (50), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (through hole), and shrouding design (4-wall shrouded). They are fully mechanically interchangeable in board layouts and mating applications.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead finish on the 2-102619-3 and the tin finish on the 7-102619-3?

A: The 2-102619-3 uses tin-lead post finish, while the 7-102619-3 uses tin post finish. Tin is a lead-free alternative that maintains equivalent electrical performance and solderability. The tin finish on the 7-102619-3 supports RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 2-102619-3 classified as obsolete?

A: The 2-102619-3 is no longer in active production. The 7-102619-3 represents the current production equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. The packaging difference (unspecified for 2-102619-3 versus tray for 7-102619-3) affects only handling, storage, and logistics. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical.

Q: Can the 7-102619-3 be used in applications originally designed for the 2-102619-3?

A: Yes. The 7-102619-3 maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. The RoHS compliance and defined REACH status of the substitute may provide additional regulatory benefits for new designs and updated production runs.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 2-102619-3 and 7-102619-3 are rated for 3A per contact, with an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Q: Are there any restrictions on using the 7-102619-3 as a substitute?

A: No restrictions exist based on the provided electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute meets or exceeds the specifications of the main part while offering active product status and improved regulatory compliance.
