Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 2-103328-5 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 50 positions (exact match required)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (exact match required)
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway (functional equivalence)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Contact Type: Male Pin (exact match required)
• Termination: Solder (exact match required)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows (exact match required)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (exact match required)

The recommended substitute part 7-146254-5 meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 7-146254-5 is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 2-103328-5. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including position count, pitch, row configuration, contact type, and operating temperature range.

The 7-146254-5 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support and established supply chain availability. This part is compliant with ECCN EAR99 classification and carries HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the compliance status of the substitute part should be verified against specific regulatory requirements, as the original 2-103328-5 is documented as RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
