Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical parameters that determine if a part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 5-146261-7?

A: The following parameters must match exactly: 14 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, unshrouded design, and male pin contact type. The connector must support board-to-board or cable applications. All substitute parts listed in this reference meet these core requirements.

Q2: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact finish?

A: Contact finish variations are acceptable within defined parameters. The main part features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Substitutes with gold or tin mating finishes are functionally compatible. Tin-plated mating contacts (such as Molex 0010897141) provide equivalent electrical performance with different corrosion resistance characteristics. Contact finish thickness variations within industry standards do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q3: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges among the substitutes?

A: Yes. The main part operates from -65°C to 105°C. Several substitutes extend the upper temperature limit: Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-S0807LF operates to 125°C, Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68602-114HLF operates to 130°C, Preci-Dip 802-10-014-10-001101 operates to 125°C, and Samtec Inc. TSW-107-07-G-D-006 operates to 125°C. The 3M 961214-6404-AR has a lower upper limit of 105°C. Selection should be based on application thermal requirements.

Q4: What is the difference between the Molex C-Grid 70280 series parts (0010897140, 0010897141, 0010897142)?

A: These three parts are mechanically and electrically identical with variations in contact finish specifications. Part 0010897140 features gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin thickness). Part 0010897141 features tin-plated mating contacts (150.0µin thickness). Part 0010897142 features gold-plated mating contacts with reduced thickness (15.0µin). All three are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical position counts, pitch, and row spacing.

Q5: Can I use the Molex 0702871103 with kinked pin termination as a direct replacement?

A: The Molex 0702871103 is mechanically compatible but features kinked pin termination in addition to solder termination. This design provides enhanced mechanical retention during board assembly. It is suitable as a substitute when additional mechanical stability is beneficial. The kinked pin feature does not prevent solder termination compatibility.

Q6: Why is the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-T06-07 marked as obsolete?

A: The 54102-T06-07 is listed with obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant certification. This part should not be selected for new designs. It is identified in this reference for legacy system support and component replacement in existing equipment only. Active alternatives from the same manufacturer (54102-S0807LF and 68602-114HLF) are recommended for all new applications.

Q7: What is the significance of the contact shape difference in the Preci-Dip 802-10-014-10-001101?

A: The Preci-Dip part features circular contact geometry, while the main part and most substitutes feature square contacts. Circular contacts provide equivalent electrical performance and are mechanically compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacles. The circular shape does not affect mating or unmating operations. This part is suitable for applications where circular contact geometry is acceptable.

Q8: How do current ratings compare among the substitutes?

A: The main part is rated for 3A. Most substitutes maintain this 3A rating (Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-S0807LF, Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68602-114HLF, Preci-Dip 802-10-014-10-001101). The 3M 961214-6404-AR is rated for 2A per contact. Samtec Inc. TSW-107-07-G-D-006 does not specify a current rating. Selection should confirm that the substitute current rating meets application requirements.

Q9: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The main part is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are available in bulk (Molex, Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-S0807LF, Preci-Dip, 3M, Samtec), bag (Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68602-114HLF), or unspecified packaging (Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-T06-07). Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q10: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Most substitutes are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. The exception is Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-T06-07, which is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from the active products listed in Tier 1 recommendations. All Tier 1 substitutes meet current RoHS regulatory requirements.
