Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TE Connectivity 5145263-2 and 5145263-3 is based on electrical and mechanical equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters that determine connector functionality and compatibility:

Key Parameters Determining Substitutability:

• Connector type and gender (Female AGP)
• Position count and arrangement (124 positions, 2 rows, 21/41 configuration)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Card thickness tolerance (0.062" / 1.57mm)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with 15.0µin gold plating)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Solder, Staggered)
• Operating temperature range (0°C to 85°C)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: 5145263-2 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 5145263-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects only handling and storage logistics, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 5145263-2 and 5145263-3 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

5145263-2 (Tray Packaging): Suitable for applications requiring organized component handling and reduced risk of contact damage during storage and transport. Tray packaging provides individual compartmentalization for each connector unit.

5145263-3 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments where bulk quantities are processed through automated assembly systems. Bulk packaging reduces per-unit packaging material and cost.

Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating no special storage or handling requirements prior to assembly. The identical base product number (5145263) confirms these parts share the same design and manufacturing specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 5145263-2 and 5145263-3 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to identical electrical specifications including contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin), pitch (0.100"), position count (124), and operating temperature range (0°C to 85°C). Electrical performance and signal integrity are equivalent.

Q: What is the only difference between these two part numbers?

A: The packaging format. 5145263-2 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 5145263-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The connector itself is identical in both cases.

Q: Can I substitute 5145263-3 for 5145263-2 in my design?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The connector specifications are identical. Substitution decisions should be based on your manufacturing process requirements and packaging handling capabilities.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), HTSUS code (8536.69.4040), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions prior to assembly.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both 5145263-2 and 5145263-3 maintain Active product status with TE Connectivity, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on your manufacturing environment's packaging handling capabilities and supply chain preferences. Both parts are equivalent from a design and performance perspective.
