TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-103167-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-103167-7 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This shrouded 60-position connector operates within the AMPMODU Mod II series and features male pin contacts with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing across two rows. The connector is manufactured with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold for mating surfaces and tin-lead for solder posts, supporting a 3A current rating across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing reduces lead times or costs, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified equivalent components that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Operating temperature minimum of -40°C and maximum of 105°C

The Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA meets all critical mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements for direct substitution in applications where the specified parameters are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 (Primary Part)

The TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 is an active product with RoHS non-compliant status. This part supports a 3A current rating and operates across an extended temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The connector features detent lock fastening and phosphor bronze contacts. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring the specified current capacity and extended low-temperature performance.

Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA (Substitute Part)

The Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part supports a 1A current rating and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The connector features push-pull fastening, brass contacts, and includes a keying slot. The BHR-60-HUA qualifies as a direct mechanical and electrical substitute where the 1A current rating and -40°C minimum temperature are acceptable for the application.

Selection Criteria:

• Select the TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 when 3A current capacity is required or when operating temperatures below -40°C are specified.
• Select the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA when RoHS3 compliance is required, when 1A current capacity is sufficient, and when operating temperatures remain above -40°C.
• Both parts meet identical mechanical specifications for pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and shrouding.
• Fastening type differs between parts (detent lock versus push-pull); verify connector mating interface compatibility with the receiving socket.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA directly replace the TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 in all applications?

A: The Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications where the 1A current rating is sufficient and operating temperatures remain within -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring 3A current capacity or temperatures below -40°C require the TE Connectivity part. The fastening mechanism differs (push-pull versus detent lock); verify compatibility with the mating connector socket.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in connector selection?

A: Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm) defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts. Both the primary part and substitute maintain identical pitch spacing, ensuring mechanical compatibility with PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for this standard spacing.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA uses brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for gold-plated mating surfaces and provide adequate electrical conductivity for the specified applications. Contact material selection does not affect substitution eligibility when both parts meet the same electrical performance requirements.

Q: What does the "shrouded - 4 wall" specification indicate?

A: Shrouding with 4 walls indicates that the connector body includes protective walls on all four sides of the contact array. This design prevents accidental contact with live pins and provides mechanical protection during handling and installation. Both parts feature identical 4-wall shrouding.

Q: Why does the Adam Tech part include a keying slot while the TE Connectivity part does not?

A: The keying slot on the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA provides a mechanical feature to ensure correct orientation during mating with a keyed socket. This feature does not affect substitution eligibility but requires verification that the receiving connector socket is compatible with or tolerant of the keying slot design.

Q: What is the difference between detent lock and push-pull fastening?

A: Detent lock fastening (TE Connectivity 2-103167-7) uses a mechanical locking mechanism that engages during mating and requires deliberate action to disengage. Push-pull fastening (Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA) uses a simple push-to-mate and pull-to-release mechanism. The fastening type must be compatible with the mating connector socket design.

Q: How do the insulation materials compare?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature ranges. The glass-filled PBT in the Adam Tech part provides enhanced mechanical rigidity.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 is RoHS non-compliant, while the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS3 compliance indicates the part meets restrictions on hazardous substances as defined by current regulations. Selection of the Adam Tech part is required for applications subject to RoHS3 compliance mandates.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-current applications?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 supports 3A current, while the Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA supports 1A current. Applications requiring current capacity above 1A must use the TE Connectivity part. Exceeding the current rating of the Adam Tech part may result in contact overheating and connector failure.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 2-103167-7 and Adam Tech BHR-60-HUA are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and bulk component handling.
