• Mounting method (Through Hole, Right Angle) is identical
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall) is identical
• Termination method (Solder) is identical
• Style (Board to Cable/Wire) is identical
• Series designation (AMP-Latch) is identical
• Contact material (Brass) is identical
• Contact finish - Post (Tin) is identical
• Insulation color (Black) is identical
• Keying slot and mounting flange features are present on both

Substitution Basis: The 5102160-4 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications designed for the 2-828581-0. The substitute part is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (1808 Pcs vs. 789 Pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5102160-4 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 2-828581-0. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 5102160-4 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The obsolete status of the 2-828581-0 necessitates transition to the active equivalent for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance and Certification: The 5102160-4 provides enhanced compliance documentation with ROHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, compared to the main part's undefined compliance status. The substitute includes UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications requiring such certification.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters determining connector functionality are identical between the two parts: 20-position configuration, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, and solder termination. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height fall within acceptable tolerances for standard connector applications.

Fastening Mechanism Difference: The main part features Latch Lock/Eject Hooks fastening, while the substitute uses Push-Pull fastening. Both mechanisms provide secure mating and are standard within the AMP-Latch series. Application-specific requirements should determine fastening preference.

Contact Geometry Variation: The main part uses circular contact shapes, while the substitute uses square contact shapes. Both contact geometries are compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles and provide equivalent electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5102160-4 directly replace the 2-828581-0 in existing designs?

A: The 5102160-4 is functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 20-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole right-angle header with shrouded 4-wall design and solder termination. The substitute maintains identical pitch spacing, position count, mounting method, and electrical interface. Minor differences in contact geometry (square vs. circular) and fastening mechanism (Push-Pull vs. Latch Lock/Eject Hooks) do not affect compatibility with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product status—5102160-4 is active while 2-828581-0 is obsolete; (2) Fastening type—5102160-4 uses Push-Pull while 2-828581-0 uses Latch Lock/Eject Hooks; (3) Contact shape—5102160-4 uses square contacts while 2-828581-0 uses circular contacts; (4) Compliance documentation—5102160-4 includes ROHS3 certification and UL94 V-0 rating; (5) Electrical specifications—5102160-4 provides 1A per contact at 250VAC and -65°C to 105°C operating range.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: Contact length and insulation height show minor variations. The 5102160-4 has a mating contact length of 0.240" (6.10mm) compared to 0.246" (6.25mm) on the 2-828581-0, and insulation height of 0.315" (8.00mm) compared to 0.346" (8.80mm). These variations are within standard tolerances for 2.54mm pitch connector applications and do not affect PCB layout or receptacle compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Latch Lock/Eject Hooks and Push-Pull fastening?

A: Both fastening mechanisms provide secure mating and unmating of the connector. Latch Lock/Eject Hooks use mechanical latches for positive retention, while Push-Pull uses a friction-based mechanism. Selection depends on application requirements for mating force and retention security. Both are standard within the AMP-Latch series.

Q: Does the contact shape difference (circular vs. square) affect performance?

A: Contact shape does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles. Both circular and square contact geometries are designed to mate with standard receptacle cavities and provide equivalent current-carrying capacity and signal integrity.

Q: What compliance advantages does the 5102160-4 provide?

A: The 5102160-4 includes ROHS3 compliance certification, REACH Unaffected status, and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The 2-828581-0 has undefined compliance status. For applications requiring regulatory documentation or compliance with environmental directives, the 5102160-4 provides superior certification coverage.

Q: Is the 5102160-4 available in the same packaging as the 2-828581-0?

A: The 5102160-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging specifications for the 2-828581-0 were not provided. Both parts are available in new original condition with active inventory.

Q: What are the electrical specifications of the 5102160-4?

A: The 5102160-4 is rated for 1A per contact at 250VAC with an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The 2-828581-0 does not provide specified electrical ratings. For applications requiring defined electrical performance parameters, the 5102160-4 provides complete specification documentation.
