Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5-828581-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (50)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold or Gold-Palladium)
• Contact finish - post (Tin)
• Features (Keying Slot, Mounting Flange)

The substitute part 1-5102160-0 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while introducing variations in fastening type, contact geometry, and electrical ratings. These variations are permissible within the substitution framework as they do not affect the core mating interface or board-level integration requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-5102160-0 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 5-828581-0 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Compliance and Certification: The 1-5102160-0 is RoHS Compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory compliance for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The main part 5-828581-0 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing, position count, and shrouding configuration. The substitute maintains the same contact material (Brass) and mating surface finish (Gold or Gold-Palladium), ensuring electrical performance equivalence at the mating interface.

Dimensional Variations: The substitute exhibits minor dimensional differences in contact length and insulation height. Contact length - mating is 0.240" (6.10mm) versus 0.246" (6.25mm), and insulation height is 0.315" (8.00mm) versus 0.346" (8.80mm). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole board integration.

Fastening Mechanism Difference: The main part utilizes Latch Lock/Eject Hooks fastening, while the substitute employs Push-Pull fastening. Both mechanisms provide secure mating and are functionally equivalent for connector retention.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute provides specified electrical ratings (1A per Contact, 250VAC) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The main part does not specify these parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-5102160-0 directly replace the 5-828581-0 in existing designs?

A: The 1-5102160-0 maintains identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and shrouding, enabling direct substitution at the board interface level. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height do not affect standard through-hole mounting compatibility. Fastening mechanism differences (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks versus Push-Pull) do not impact electrical or mechanical integration.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include product status (Obsolete versus Active), fastening type (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks versus Push-Pull), contact shape (Circular versus Square), and specified electrical ratings. The substitute provides RoHS compliance, operating temperature specification (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per Contact), voltage rating (250VAC), and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Contact finish thickness values differ slightly but remain within acceptable ranges for connector performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 5-828581-0 does not specify packaging information. The substitute 1-5102160-0 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs, with 1161 pieces of the main part and 1080 pieces of the substitute currently in stock.

Q: Does the contact shape difference (Circular versus Square) affect compatibility?

A: Contact shape variation does not affect mating compatibility. Both circular and square contact geometries maintain the same electrical contact area and mating force characteristics within the AMP-Latch series design parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The substitute part 1-5102160-0 is RoHS Compliant, meeting Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations applicable to electrical and electronic equipment. The main part carries "Not applicable" status due to obsolescence. For new designs subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the contact finish thickness variations significant?

A: Contact finish thickness differences are minor. Mating surface finish thickness is 31.5µin (0.80µm) for the main part versus 30.0µin (0.76µm) for the substitute. Post finish thickness is 118.1µin (3.00µm) versus 100.0µin (2.54µm). Both values remain within acceptable ranges for connector durability and electrical performance.

Q: What electrical specifications should be considered for application selection?

A: The substitute provides specified electrical ratings of 1A per Contact and 250VAC maximum voltage, with operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C. The main part does not specify these parameters. Applications requiring defined electrical ratings should reference the substitute part specifications.
