TE Connectivity 6-103330-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-103330-3 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 26 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is part of the AMPMODU Mod II series. The part maintains active product status and is RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, including pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and contact geometry. Alternative models from qualified manufacturers provide functional equivalence for applications requiring component flexibility or supply chain alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 6-103330-3 are qualified based on strict equivalence of core mating interface parameters. The following parameters must match identically across all substitute candidates:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 26
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

All identified substitute parts from Samtec Inc. (TSW series) maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact post length, contact finish composition, and insulation material do not affect mating interface compatibility. All substitute parts maintain active product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain functional equivalence at the mating interface and are suitable for direct replacement applications. Selection among substitute options is determined by post-length requirements specific to the application's printed circuit board thickness and assembly configuration.

Post Length Considerations:

The TE Connectivity 6-103330-3 features a contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm). Samtec TSW series alternatives provide variable post lengths:

• TSW-113-08-S-D-LA: 0.090" (2.29mm) post length
• TSW-113-22-G-D-RA and TSW-113-22-L-D-RA: 0.190" (4.83mm) post length
• TSW-113-10-G-D-RA: 0.390" (9.91mm) post length
• TSW-113-12-S-D-RA: 0.590" (14.99mm) post length

All substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS3 requirements. All parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The Samtec TSW series utilizes phosphor bronze contact material with gold mating surface finish, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-finished copper alloy contacts of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW series connectors from Samtec directly replace the TE Connectivity 6-103330-3?

A: Yes. All identified TSW series parts maintain identical mating interface parameters including pitch (0.100"), position count (26), row configuration (2 rows), contact length (0.230"), and contact geometry (square). The mating interface is fully compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is contact post length, which varies by model designation. Post length selection depends on the specific printed circuit board thickness and assembly requirements of the application. The mating interface remains identical across all variants.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: Both the original TE Connectivity part and all Samtec TSW substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The original part is RoHS Compliant; substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard.

Q: How do contact material differences affect substitution?

A: The original part uses copper alloy contacts with tin finish. Samtec TSW substitutes use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating surface finish. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is compatible with the same mating interface. This represents an improvement in contact durability.

Q: What operating temperature range should be considered?

A: The original TE Connectivity part operates from -65°C to 105°C. All Samtec TSW substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the original part is required. For applications within the -55°C to 105°C range, either part is suitable.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: The original part is supplied in Tray packaging; substitute parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Q: Which substitute part most closely matches the original post length?

A: TSW-113-22-G-D-RA and TSW-113-22-L-D-RA both feature 0.190" (4.83mm) post length, which is closest to the original 0.120" (3.05mm). However, the specific post length requirement depends on the application's printed circuit board thickness and assembly configuration.
