TE Connectivity 2-102935-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2-102935-8 is a 32-position rectangular receptacle connector from the AMPMODU Level V series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with discrete wire gauges from 22-28 AWG. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts and is configured as a free-hanging in-line component with a 0.125" pitch in a 2-row arrangement.

The 2-102935-8 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2-102935-8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 32
• Pitch: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Cable termination method: IDC
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Series: AMPMODU Level V

Allowable Variation:

• Wire gauge range: The main part accepts 22-28 AWG. Substitute parts with a wire gauge range that is a subset of this specification (such as 22-26 AWG) are functionally compatible, as they operate within the established electrical and mechanical parameters of the connector system.

The substitute part 2-5102935-8 meets all mandatory matching parameters and operates within the allowable wire gauge variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 2-5102935-8

The 2-5102935-8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 2-102935-8. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch, and termination method.

The substitute part offers two significant advantages:

1. Product Status: The 2-5102935-8 is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete status of the main part.

2. Regulatory Compliance: The 2-5102935-8 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement supports adherence to current environmental and regulatory standards.

Wire Gauge Consideration: The substitute part accommodates wire gauges from 22-26 AWG, which represents a subset of the main part's 22-28 AWG range. Applications utilizing wire gauges of 27-28 AWG require evaluation to determine if the narrower gauge range of the substitute is acceptable for the specific circuit design. For applications using wire gauges within the 22-26 AWG range, the substitute provides full functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-5102935-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 2-102935-8?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges from 22-26 AWG. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically identical in all critical parameters including pitch, row configuration, contact type, and IDC termination method. The substitute is an active product with improved RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the two parts?

A: The main part 2-102935-8 accepts discrete wires from 22-28 AWG, while the substitute 2-5102935-8 accepts 22-26 AWG. The substitute's wire gauge range is a subset of the main part. Applications using 27-28 AWG wires must be evaluated separately, as the substitute connector may not accommodate these larger gauges through its IDC termination mechanism.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 32 positions, 0.125" pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.125" row spacing, and free-hanging in-line mounting. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part 2-102935-8 has no specified packaging designation, while the substitute 2-5102935-8 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects order quantities and handling but does not impact connector functionality or performance.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the substitute affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance relates to the restriction of hazardous substances in the manufacturing process and does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance characteristics of the connector. Both parts maintain identical contact finish specifications and electrical properties.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent performance across moisture exposure conditions. Both are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) codes.
