Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 4-103759-0-06 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Series: AMPMODU Mod II
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic
• Insulation Color: Black
• Current Rating: 3A
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy

The substitute part 9-103759-0 shares all mandatory parameters with the main part. The primary difference is the number of positions (40 positions versus 6 positions), which allows the substitute to serve applications requiring higher position counts within the same connector family. The substitute part carries active product status and RoHS compliance, providing improved availability and regulatory alignment for new designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 4-103759-0-06 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 9-103759-0 is an active product within the same AMPMODU Mod II series, providing continued availability and supply chain stability. The substitute maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical pitch spacing, contact geometry, current rating, and operating temperature range.

For RoHS Compliance: The main part 4-103759-0-06 is RoHS non-compliant due to its Tin-Lead contact finish. The substitute part 9-103759-0 is RoHS compliant with a Tin contact finish, meeting regulatory requirements for applications subject to RoHS directives. This compliance improvement is significant for new product designs and markets with mandatory RoHS requirements.

For Contact Finish Considerations: The main part features Tin-Lead plating on both mating and post contacts. The substitute part uses Tin plating exclusively. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability.

Position Count Differentiation: The substitute part 9-103759-0 provides 40 positions compared to the 6 positions of the main part. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements. The 40-position variant accommodates higher-density interconnect applications while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9-103759-0 substitute directly for the 4-103759-0-06 in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is possible for applications requiring 6 or fewer positions. The 40-position substitute accommodates the same pitch spacing, mounting type, and electrical specifications. However, physical board layout must accommodate the increased connector length. For applications using only 6 positions, the substitute can be populated with 6 positions loaded, maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish change from Tin-Lead to Tin?

A: The Tin finish in the substitute part eliminates lead content, achieving RoHS compliance. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solder joint reliability. The Tin finish is suitable for lead-free solder processes and meets environmental regulations.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), contact geometry (square shape), contact length specifications, and insulation material properties. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the breakaway feature in the connector type?

A: The breakaway designation indicates that individual positions can be separated from the connector body, allowing customization of the final connector configuration. This feature is present in both the main part and substitute.

Q: How does the 40-position configuration affect PCB layout?

A: The 40-position variant maintains the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing as the 6-position main part. The overall connector length increases proportionally with the additional positions. PCB design must account for the extended connector footprint when transitioning from the 6-position to the 40-position variant.

Q: Is the moisture sensitivity level the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitute carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: Both the main part (4-103759-0-06) and substitute (9-103759-0) share the base product number 103759, indicating they are part of the same connector family within the AMPMODU Mod II series.
