Amphenol ICC 54102-T06-08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54102-T06-08 is a rectangular connector header for through-hole mounting, featuring 16 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® series connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with male pin contacts and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 991 pieces in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when specific design requirements demand alternative contact post lengths, different contact finishes, enhanced compliance certifications, or improved operating temperature ranges beyond the specifications of the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The Samtec TSW series substitutes offer ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory advantages over the original 54102-T06-08, which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.

The TSW-108-07-G-D-LL and TSW-108-07-SM-D variants provide contact post lengths closest to the original specification (0.100" vs. 0.110"), making them suitable for direct replacement in existing PCB designs. The TSW-108-07-G-D-LL includes kinked pin termination for enhanced mechanical retention.

For applications requiring extended contact post lengths for deeper PCB penetration or stacking configurations, TSW-108-08-F-D (0.200"), TSW-108-22-G-D (0.300"), TSW-108-09-G-D (0.400"), and TSW-108-11-G-D (0.600") provide graduated options.

All Samtec substitutes feature gold contact finish on mating surfaces, improving corrosion resistance compared to the tin finish of the original part. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is specified for all TSW variants, providing defined thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-108 series headers directly replace the Amphenol ICC 54102-T06-08 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible with TSW-108-07-G-D-LL or TSW-108-07-SM-D, as these maintain contact post lengths within 0.010" of the original specification. Other TSW variants have longer contact posts and require PCB design verification for clearance and mating depth compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between TSW-108-07-G-D-LL and TSW-108-07-SM-D?

A: TSW-108-07-G-D-LL includes kinked pin termination for improved mechanical retention during soldering, while TSW-108-07-SM-D uses standard solder termination. Both maintain identical contact post length and mating characteristics.

Q: Why do the Samtec substitutes have gold contact finish instead of tin?

A: Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over the product lifetime. This is a material upgrade in the substitute parts and does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: Are all TSW-108 variants compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: Yes. All variants share identical mating contact length (0.230"), pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and contact geometry. Mating compatibility is determined by these parameters, which are constant across all variants.

Q: What compliance advantage do the Samtec substitutes offer?

A: All TSW-108 variants are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, compared to the original part which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. This is significant for applications subject to EU environmental regulations.

Q: How do I select the correct contact post length for my application?

A: Contact post length determines how far the pins extend into the mating connector or PCB. Select based on your PCB thickness and mating connector depth. TSW-108-07-G-D-LL (0.100") is closest to the original; longer variants accommodate thicker PCBs or deeper mating requirements.

Q: Is the operating temperature range specified for the original 54102-T06-08?

A: No. The original part does not specify operating temperature. All Samtec TSW-108 substitutes specify -55°C to 125°C, providing defined thermal performance for temperature-sensitive applications.
