Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Card Type: Combo - microSD™, Micro SIM
• Number of Positions: 8
• Connector Type: Connector
• Insertion, Removal Method: Push In, Pull Out
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Contact Finish: Gold
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Molex 1041681620 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. While the height above board differs (0.090" versus 0.098"), both connectors maintain surface mount, right-angle configuration with identical electrical and functional characteristics for microSD™ and Micro SIM card support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 1041681620 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 for applications requiring 8-position microSD™ and Micro SIM combo card connectors with surface mount, right-angle configuration.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. Both are classified as obsolete products, indicating limited ongoing availability through standard distribution channels.

Physical Consideration: The height above board differential (0.098" versus 0.090") represents a 0.008" (0.22mm) reduction in the Molex substitute. This variation must be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints and clearance requirements in the target application.

Availability: The Molex 1041681620 maintains significantly higher inventory levels (12,520 pcs) compared to the TE Connectivity part (819 pcs), supporting production continuity for new builds and field replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 1041681620 directly replace the TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 1041681620 is functionally equivalent for microSD™ and Micro SIM card support with identical electrical characteristics, contact finish, and insertion/removal methods. The 0.008" height difference must be evaluated against PCB layout and clearance specifications to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The Molex 1041681620 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier for procurement and handling requirements.

Q: Do both connectors support the same card types?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 and Molex 1041681620 are combo connectors supporting microSD™ and Micro SIM card types with 8-position configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly. This eliminates moisture-related component degradation concerns and simplifies supply chain management.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity AMP 2199003-2 and Molex 1041681620 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why are both products classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these connector designs are no longer in active production by their respective manufacturers. This classification necessitates substitute part identification for ongoing support of legacy systems and production continuity planning.
