TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2134146-3 PGA Socket Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2134146-3 is a 989-position PGA socket designed for surface mount applications with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead plated posts. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The socket accommodates a 35 x 36 pin grid array with 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch spacing and is constructed from thermoplastic housing material rated UL94 V-0 for flammability compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2134146-3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Socket type classification (PGA)
• Pin grid array configuration (989 positions, 35 x 36 grid)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish specification (Gold mating surface)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Housing material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic, UL94 V-0)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

Pitch Consideration: The mating pitch of 0.157" (4.00mm) is a defining characteristic of the 2134146-3. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with components designed for this specific pitch spacing to ensure proper electrical and mechanical connection.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2013620-3 is identified as a substitute part within the same product family. While this part shares the same pin grid array configuration (989 positions, 35 x 36), socket type classification (PGA), mounting method (Surface Mount), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0), it incorporates Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) functionality and operates at a different mating pitch of 0.039" (1.00mm). This difference in pitch represents a fundamental design variation that affects component compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 2134146-3 is classified as obsolete, while the 2013620-3 is active. For new designs or ongoing procurement requirements, the active status of the 2013620-3 provides assurance of continued availability and manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications. Both parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Functional Differences: The 2013620-3 incorporates Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) technology, which differs from the standard insertion mechanism of the 2134146-3. The ZIF feature reduces insertion force requirements during component placement and removal operations. However, the mating pitch difference of 0.157" (4.00mm) versus 0.039" (1.00mm) represents a critical design distinction that affects physical and electrical compatibility with mating components.

Selection Basis: Component selection between these parts must be based on the specific pitch requirement of the target application. The mating pitch determines compatibility with the pin grid array package being inserted into the socket. Direct substitution is only appropriate when the application accommodates the pitch specification of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2013620-3 directly replace the 2134146-3 in existing applications?

A: Direct replacement depends on the mating component's pin pitch specification. The 2134146-3 operates at 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, while the 2013620-3 operates at 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch. The mating component must be designed for the socket's pitch specification. If the existing application uses components designed for 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch, the 2013620-3 is not compatible. If the application can accommodate 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch components, the 2013620-3 is a viable substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the ZIF feature in the 2013620-3?

A: ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) technology reduces the mechanical force required to insert and remove components from the socket. This feature is beneficial for applications requiring frequent component changes or where insertion force limitations exist. The standard 2134146-3 does not incorporate this feature.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 2134146-3 and 2013620-3 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, indicating no special moisture control requirements during handling or storage.

Q: Why is the 2134146-3 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part. The active status of the 2013620-3 suggests it represents the current product offering from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors for this socket category.

Q: What are the contact finish specifications for each part?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The 2134146-3 specifies flash thickness gold plating, while the 2013620-3 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. Both parts use copper alloy as the base contact material. The 2134146-3 includes tin-lead plated posts with flash thickness; the 2013620-3 does not specify post finish details in the provided parameters.

Q: How do the pitch specifications affect component selection?

A: Pitch specification determines the physical spacing between pins in the grid array. The 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch of the 2134146-3 accommodates components designed for this spacing. The 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch of the 2013620-3 accommodates components with tighter pin spacing. These specifications are not interchangeable; the mating component must match the socket's pitch specification for proper electrical and mechanical connection.
