Amphenol ICC 54202-T08-03 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 54202-T08-03 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 6 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This BERGSTIK® series component features male pins with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts and is designed for board-to-board applications with push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 874 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for production workflows, or when enhanced compliance certifications or extended operating temperature ranges are needed for specific applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 54202-T08-03 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Positions: 6
Number of Rows: 2
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Contact Type: Male Pin
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Termination: Solder
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - TE Connectivity 5-146130-2

The 5-146130-2 is the manufacturer-recommended primary substitute. It maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 54202-T08-03 across all critical parameters. The part achieves RoHS compliance and offers higher inventory availability (13,464 units). The insulation height differential of 0.010" (0.25mm) is within acceptable tolerance for standard board-to-board applications. Packaging is supplied in tube format.

Samtec TSM Series - Extended Operating Temperature

The Samtec TSM-103 series (TSM-103-01-L-DV, TSM-103-01-L-DV-A, TSM-103-01-L-DV-LC, TSM-103-01-L-DV-P-TR, TSM-103-01-L-DV-TR, TSM-103-01-S-DV-A, TSM-103-01-S-DV-P-TR) provides full mechanical and electrical equivalence with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). All variants are ROHS3 compliant and feature gold-plated mating contacts. Variants differ in packaging format (tube, tape & reel, cut tape), insulation material (LCP), and optional features (board guide, board lock, pick and place compatibility). Select based on production workflow requirements.

Sullins GBC03DABN-M30

The GBC03DABN-M30 maintains full compatibility with identical insulation height and contact geometry. It is ROHS3 compliant with extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C). Packaging is supplied in bulk format. Contact finish is gold-plated with 10.0µin thickness.

Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101

The 814-22-006-30-007101 features piston-type contacts instead of male pins, providing alternative contact engagement characteristics. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and is included for reference only. ROHS3 compliance and gold contact finish are provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 54202-T08-03 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain the critical mechanical and electrical parameters: 6 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, 0.230" mating contact length, square contact geometry, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference in the TE Connectivity 5-146130-2?

A: The 5-146130-2 has an insulation height of 0.090" (2.29mm) compared to the 54202-T08-03 at 0.100" (2.54mm). This 0.010" (0.25mm) difference does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications. Verify clearance in applications with tight vertical spacing constraints.

Q: Why do substitute parts have gold-plated contacts while the original has tin plating?

A: Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin. This is a performance enhancement, not a compatibility issue. Gold-plated contacts are fully compatible with tin-plated receptacles and do not introduce electrical or mechanical problems.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in multiple formats: tube (standard packaging), tape & reel (TR) for automated assembly, cut tape (CT) with Digi-Reel for intermediate volumes, and bulk. Select based on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 54202-T08-03 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, any substitute part meets this requirement.

Q: What is the difference between Samtec TSM variants?

A: TSM-103-01-L-DV and TSM-103-01-S-DV variants differ in contact finish thickness (10.0µin vs. 30.0µin). Packaging variants include tube, tape & reel (TR), and cut tape with pick and place (P-TR). Optional features include board guide (A suffix) and board lock (LC suffix). Select based on assembly process requirements and contact durability specifications.

Q: Can the Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 be used as a direct replacement?

A: The 814-22-006-30-007101 uses piston-type contacts instead of male pins. While it maintains the same pitch and position count, piston contacts engage differently than male pins. This part is listed as discontinued and should not be selected for new designs unless specific piston contact engagement is required.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: The 54202-T08-03 does not specify an operating temperature range. Samtec TSM series parts operate from -55°C to 125°C. TE Connectivity 5-146130-2 does not specify a range. Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 operates from -65°C to 150°C. Select based on application thermal requirements.
