Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 6-102084-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The 6-102084-4 is the original specification part and maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance. This part is recommended for new designs and applications where the AMPMODU Mod II series is specified.

Equivalent Selection: 89883-402LF (Amphenol ICC Dubox™)

The 89883-402LF provides direct functional equivalence with tin contact finish matching the mating surface of the original part. This substitute maintains RoHS compliance and is suitable for applications where Amphenol ICC sourcing is preferred or required. The part is available in higher inventory quantity (1900 pcs).

Equivalent Selection: 89883-302LF (Amphenol ICC Dubox™)

The 89883-302LF offers gold contact finish on the mating surface, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-lead original. This substitute maintains RoHS compliance and is classified as REACH Affected. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring superior contact reliability in corrosive environments.

Equivalent Selection: BCS-102-S-D-HE (Samtec Tiger Claw™ BCS)

The BCS-102-S-D-HE provides the highest current rating (4.6A per contact) and voltage rating (475VAC) among all options, with ROHS3 compliance matching the original part. The liquid crystal polymer insulation material offers superior thermal and mechanical properties. This substitute is recommended for applications requiring enhanced electrical performance or higher reliability margins.

All substitute parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, pitch spacing, and mounting configuration. Selection among equivalents is based on contact finish requirements, insulation material performance, current/voltage rating needs, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 89883-402LF be used as a direct replacement for the 6-102084-4?

A: Yes. The 89883-402LF meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both parts feature 4-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with through-hole right-angle mounting and solder termination. The primary difference is the contact finish (tin versus tin-lead) and insulation material (thermoplastic versus polyester). Both are RoHS compliant and rated for 2A minimum current capacity.

Q: What is the difference between the gold-plated substitutes (89883-302LF and BCS-102-S-D-HE)?

A: Both parts feature gold contact finish on the mating surface, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. The BCS-102-S-D-HE offers higher current rating (4.6A per contact versus unspecified for 89883-302LF) and voltage rating (475VAC). The BCS-102-S-D-HE uses liquid crystal polymer insulation, while the 89883-302LF uses thermoplastic insulation. Both are UL94 V-0 rated.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 6-102084-4 is ROHS3 compliant. The 89883-302LF and 89883-402LF are RoHS compliant. The BCS-102-S-D-HE is ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements for lead-free or controlled lead content applications.

Q: What is the impact of different insulation materials on part selection?

A: The original 6-102084-4 uses polyester glass-filled insulation. Substitutes use thermoplastic glass-filled (Amphenol ICC parts) or liquid crystal polymer glass-filled (Samtec part). All materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity. Material selection impacts thermal performance and mechanical rigidity but does not affect electrical compatibility for standard PCB mounting applications.

Q: Can I mix and match these connectors in the same assembly?

A: All four parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for mating with standard 0.100" pitch male connectors. However, assembly design should specify a single part number to ensure consistent contact finish, insulation color, and performance characteristics throughout the product.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness varies: 6-102084-4 (100.0µin tin-lead), 89883-402LF (78.7µin tin), 89883-302LF and BCS-102-S-D-HE (30.0µin gold). Thicker finishes provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications. Gold plating at 30.0µin is standard for corrosion resistance. All thicknesses are within industry specifications for 0.100" pitch connectors.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 6-102084-4 is supplied in tube packaging. All three substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What operating temperature range should I specify?

A: The 6-102084-4 and BCS-102-S-D-HE both specify -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The Amphenol ICC parts (89883-302LF and 89883-402LF) do not specify operating temperature limits. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, the 6-102084-4 or BCS-102-S-D-HE are recommended.
