Amphenol ICC 54102-S3003LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54102-S3003LF 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 manufacturing sources, or specific post length requirements for different PCB stack-up configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), contact shape (square), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Substitute parts are grouped by contact post length, which determines PCB stack-up compatibility:

Group A - Short Post (0.120" / 3.05mm): PBC03DFAN, PEC03DFAN, TSW-103-14-F-D Group B - Medium Post (0.220" / 5.58mm): PBC03DFBN, PEC03DFBN Group C - Extended Post (0.320" / 8.13mm): PEC03DFCN Group D - Long Post (0.410" / 10.41mm): 929715-03-03-I Group E - Extra Long Post (0.420" / 10.67mm): PBC03DFDN Group F - Maximum Post (0.520" / 13.21mm): PBC03DFEN

Contact finish variations (gold mating surface with tin posts versus tin mating surface with tin posts) are secondary differentiators within each post-length group.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Same Post Length): PBC03DFAN and PEC03DFAN provide direct functional equivalence to the 54102-S3003LF with identical 3.05mm post length. PBC03DFAN maintains gold mating contact finish matching the original specification. PEC03DFAN substitutes tin mating finish, suitable for applications where contact finish material compatibility is not a constraint. Both are ROHS3 compliant and rated for -65°C to 125°C operation with 3A per contact.

Post Length Variants: Selection of alternative post lengths (PBC03DFBN, PBC03DFDN, PBC03DFEN, PEC03DFBN, PEC03DFCN) is determined by PCB stack-up requirements. Longer post variants accommodate thicker PCB assemblies or additional stacking layers. All Sullins variants maintain 3A current rating and -65°C to 125°C operating range.

3M Alternative: 929715-03-03-I provides substitution from a different manufacturer with extended post length (10.41mm). This part operates at reduced temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and lower current rating (2.5A per contact), limiting its use to applications within these constraints.

Samtec Option: TSW-103-14-F-D offers an alternative from Samtec with minimal post length (2.79mm) and gold mating finish. Current rating is not specified in available documentation. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C minimum, compatible with the original specification's lower bound.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and push-pull fastening type. Selection should prioritize post length compatibility with target PCB assembly configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute PEC03DFAN for 54102-S3003LF in my design? A: Yes, if contact finish material compatibility is not a design requirement. PEC03DFAN matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including post length (3.05mm), current rating (3A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The primary difference is tin mating contact finish versus gold on the original part.

Q: What determines which substitute part I should select? A: Post length is the primary selection criterion. Measure your PCB stack-up thickness and select a substitute with post length matching your assembly requirements. Secondary considerations include contact finish material (gold versus tin) and manufacturer preference. All listed substitutes maintain equivalent electrical performance within their specified operating ranges.

Q: Is 929715-03-03-I a suitable replacement for all applications? A: No. The 3M part operates at reduced temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -65°C to 125°C) and lower current rating (2.5A versus 3A per contact). Use this substitute only in applications operating within these reduced specifications.

Q: What is the difference between PBC03DFAN and PBC03DFBN? A: Both are Sullins Connector Solutions parts with identical electrical ratings and operating temperature. The difference is post length: PBC03DFAN has 3.05mm posts while PBC03DFBN has 5.58mm posts. Select based on your PCB stack-up thickness.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The original 54102-S3003LF is RoHS Compliant, and all listed substitutes are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use TSW-103-14-F-D as a direct replacement? A: TSW-103-14-F-D is compatible for applications with minimal post length requirements (2.79mm). It maintains gold mating finish and operates within the -55°C to 125°C range. Verify current rating requirements with Samtec documentation, as this specification is not provided in standard data.

Q: Do all substitutes support the same 3A current rating? A: No. Most Sullins variants (PBC03 and PEC03 series) and the original Amphenol part support 3A per contact. The 3M 929715-03-03-I is rated for 2.5A per contact. Verify your application's current requirements before selecting this alternative.
