Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 54101-T06-03 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector Type: Header (board-to-board interface)
• Contact Type: Male Pin (mating interface requirement)
• Number of Positions: 3 (circuit count)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (mating geometry and spacing)
• Number of Rows: 1 (physical layout)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (PCB assembly method)
• Termination: Solder (connection method)
• Insulation Color: Black (visual identification)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (storage and handling compatibility)

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while allowing variation in contact finish material and thickness, which do not affect mechanical fit or basic electrical function within standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

54101-T06-03 (Amphenol ICC): Primary part with Active product status. RoHS non-compliant classification applies to applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

TS-103-G-AA (Samtec): Active substitute with ROHS3 compliance. Gold contact finish (20.0µin) provides alternative mating surface. Suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and gold plating specifications.

TS-103-T-A-1 (Samtec): Active substitute with ROHS3 compliance. Tin contact finish (200.0µin) matches the mating surface material of the primary part with increased thickness. Suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and tin plating with enhanced thickness.

Selection between substitute parts depends on RoHS compliance requirements and contact finish specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS-103-G-AA and TS-103-T-A-1 be used interchangeably with 54101-T06-03?

A: Both Samtec parts maintain the critical parameters for mechanical and electrical compatibility: 3-position, 0.100" pitch, male pin header, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Differences in contact finish material and thickness do not affect fit or basic function. Selection depends on application-specific requirements for RoHS compliance and contact finish specifications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variation?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear characteristics. The 54101-T06-03 specifies 100.0µin tin finish, TS-103-G-AA specifies 20.0µin gold finish, and TS-103-T-A-1 specifies 200.0µin tin finish. These variations are within acceptable ranges for standard connector applications and do not affect mating geometry or electrical conductivity.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 54101-T06-03 is RoHS non-compliant. Both Samtec substitutes (TS-103-G-AA and TS-103-T-A-1) are ROHS3 compliant. Applications requiring RoHS3 certification must use one of the Samtec alternatives.

Q: Do all three parts share the same MSL rating?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity and storage requirements.

Q: What packaging format is available for these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format.
