Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5102155-5 with the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5102156-5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both connectors maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters that determine interchangeability:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (24 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and termination (Through Hole, Solder)
• Shrouding design and fastening mechanism (Shrouded 4-Wall, Push-Pull)
• Contact dimensions and overall form factor
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The 5102156-5 represents an active product with enhanced compliance status and improved contact finish specifications, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 5102155-5.
