Amphenol ICC 54102-G3003LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54102-G3003LF is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This BERGSTIK® series component features 6 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, suitable for board-to-board or cable interconnections. The connector employs male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated posts, rated for 3A per contact across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, alternative packaging requirements, or specific mechanical variations while maintaining electrical and functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 54102-G3003LF are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 125°C (or compatible subset)
• Current Rating: 3A per Contact (or higher)

Secondary Variation Parameters:

• Contact Length - Post: Varies by part (affects PCB stack-up and mating depth)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold or Tin (both acceptable for signal integrity)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze or Copper Alloy (both acceptable)
• Insulation Material: PBT or PBT Glass Filled (both acceptable)
• Packaging: Bag or Bulk (does not affect electrical function)

Substitute parts meeting all primary criteria are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Variations in post length accommodate different PCB thicknesses and assembly configurations. Contact finish variations (gold vs. tin) do not affect functional compatibility for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Electrical and Mechanical Specifications):

PBC03DFAN is the closest direct substitute for the 54102-G3003LF. Both parts feature identical contact length specifications (3.05mm post length, 13.67mm overall), gold-plated mating contacts, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is the breakaway feature in the Sullins design, which does not affect electrical compatibility. Both are RoHS compliant.

Post Length Variants (Electrical Compatibility with Mechanical Variation):

PBC03DFBN, PBC03DFDN, and PBC03DFEN provide identical electrical specifications but with extended post lengths (5.58mm, 10.67mm, and 13.21mm respectively). These variants accommodate thicker PCB assemblies or applications requiring greater standoff height. Selection depends on specific PCB stack-up requirements.

PEC03DFAN, PEC03DFBN, and PEC03DFCN are functionally equivalent to the PBC03 series but feature tin-plated mating contacts instead of gold. Tin plating is acceptable for standard signal applications and provides cost optimization while maintaining 3A current rating and full temperature range compatibility.

Alternative Manufacturers:

929715-03-03-I (3M) meets core dimensional and contact specifications but operates within a reduced temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and carries a lower current rating (2.5A). This part is suitable only for applications not requiring the full -65°C to 125°C range or 3A per contact capability.

TSW-103-14-F-D (Samtec) provides compatible pitch and row spacing with minimal post length (2.79mm). Current rating is not specified in available documentation. This part is suitable for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Compliance Status:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 54102-G3003LF is RoHS Compliant; Sullins parts are ROHS3 Compliant; 3M and Samtec parts are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PBC03DFAN be used as a direct replacement for 54102-G3003LF?

A: Yes. PBC03DFAN is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (6 in 2 rows), contact length specifications, current rating (3A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The breakaway feature in PBC03DFAN does not affect compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between PBC03DFAN and PEC03DFAN?

A: Both parts are identical except for contact finish. PBC03DFAN features gold-plated mating contacts; PEC03DFAN features tin-plated mating contacts. Both maintain 3A current rating and full temperature range. Selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have longer post lengths?

A: Post length variations (3.05mm, 5.58mm, 8.13mm, 10.67mm, 13.21mm) accommodate different PCB thicknesses and assembly configurations. Longer posts provide greater standoff height for thicker PCB stacks or applications requiring additional clearance. Electrical performance is not affected by post length variation.

Q: Is 929715-03-03-I a suitable substitute?

A: 929715-03-03-I is compatible for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C and requiring maximum 2.5A per contact. It is not suitable for applications requiring the full -65°C to 125°C temperature range or 3A current rating of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between Bag and Bulk packaging?

A: Packaging type (Bag vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements. Bag packaging typically suits lower-volume applications; Bulk packaging suits higher-volume production.

Q: Can TSW-103-14-F-D replace 54102-G3003LF?

A: TSW-103-14-F-D is mechanically compatible for pitch and row spacing but features a shorter post length (2.79mm vs. 3.05mm). Current rating is not specified. This part is suitable only for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints and where current rating specification is not critical.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are RoHS compliant (either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status). All parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
