TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-103648-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-103648-0 is a 21-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component functions as a female socket receptacle for in-line, free-hanging mounting configurations and operates across an industrial temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2-103648-0 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (21)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Housing color (Black)
• Insulation material compatibility

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range overlap
• Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)
• RoHS compliance status
• ECCN classification (EAR99)

The substitute part Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65039-016LF meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material composition (Polyphenylene, Modified versus Thermoplastic) and operating temperature lower bound (-40°C versus -65°C) do not preclude substitution when the application environment remains within the substitute part's specified range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: TE Connectivity 2-103648-0

The TE Connectivity 2-103648-0 maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. This part is suitable for applications requiring the full specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The thermoplastic insulation material provides standard performance characteristics for rectangular connector housings in this category.

Substitute Part: Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65039-016LF

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65039-016LF is an Active product with RoHS compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This substitute is suitable for applications where the operating environment remains within the -40°C to 105°C range. The modified polyphenylene insulation material provides equivalent functional performance for standard rectangular connector applications. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when the lower temperature bound of -40°C satisfies application requirements and when Amphenol ICC sourcing is preferred or necessary.

Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and EAR99 ECCN classification, indicating equivalent handling and export compliance profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65039-016LF can substitute for the TE Connectivity 2-103648-0?

A: Substitution is valid when the application environment operates within the overlapping temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and does not require the extended low-temperature performance of the TE part (-65°C). All other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are equivalent between the two parts.

Q: Are the insulation materials interchangeable between these two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses thermoplastic insulation, while the Amphenol ICC part uses modified polyphenylene. Both materials are suitable for rectangular connector housings in this pitch and position configuration. Material selection does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Both parts are receptacle housings designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Contact specifications are independent of housing selection and must be sourced separately. The note "Contacts Not Included" applies to both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different RoHS compliance designations?

A: The TE Connectivity part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol ICC part carries standard RoHS compliance. Both designations indicate lead-free and restricted substance compliance. ROHS3 represents the most current regulatory standard. Both parts meet current environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability is confirmed for all electrical and mechanical interfaces. The 21-position, 0.100" pitch, single-row configuration, free-hanging mounting, and crimp termination are identical. Substitution is valid provided the application temperature range does not require operation below -40°C.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage, handling, and assembly procedures are identical for both parts.

Q: Are there any export or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification, indicating equivalent export control status. No additional regulatory considerations apply to substitution between these parts.
