TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-103634-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-103634-0 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This shrouded 11-position connector operates across automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications sectors. The connector features male pin contacts with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and supports a 3A current rating across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Substitute parts become necessary when original inventory is unavailable, when alternative sourcing reduces lead times, or when design flexibility permits component interchangeability within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 11-position connector configuration
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation
• Shrouded 4-wall design
• 3A current rating capability
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level

Secondary Consideration Parameters:

• Pitch spacing tolerance (0.100" nominal with minor deviations acceptable within mechanical fit constraints)
• Operating temperature range overlap
• Contact material composition (brass or copper alloy)
• Termination method compatibility (solder-based)

The JST Sales America Inc. S11B-XASK-1 qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, contact type, mounting style, shrouding configuration, current rating, flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL rating. Minor pitch spacing variation (0.098" versus 0.100") and operating temperature range difference require engineering evaluation for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Automotive and telecommunications applications with stringent temperature specifications
• Designs utilizing square contact geometry
• Brass contact material specifications

JST S11B-XASK-1 Selection Criteria:

• Alternative sourcing when TE Connectivity inventory is unavailable
• Applications operating within -25°C to 85°C temperature envelope
• Designs compatible with circular contact geometry
• Copper alloy contact material specifications
• Press-fit termination capability provides additional assembly flexibility

Both parts maintain active product status, UL94 V-0 flammability compliance, and RoHS certification. The JST part offers ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Selection between these components depends on application-specific temperature requirements and contact geometry compatibility with mating connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JST S11B-XASK-1 directly replace the TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application operates within the JST part's temperature range (-25°C to 85°C). The TE Connectivity part supports extended temperature operation to -65°C and 105°C. Additionally, mating connector compatibility must be verified, as the pitch spacing differs slightly (0.098" versus 0.100").

Q: What is the significance of the pitch spacing difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, while the JST S11B-XASK-1 operates at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch. These are not interchangeable with the same mating connectors. Each part requires mating connectors designed for its specific pitch spacing.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 is RoHS Compliant. The JST S11B-XASK-1 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference in contact geometry between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 features square contact geometry, while the JST S11B-XASK-1 features circular contact geometry. Contact geometry affects mating connector compatibility and must be verified during component selection.

Q: Can the JST part be used in automotive applications?

A: The JST S11B-XASK-1 does not list automotive applications in its specification. The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 explicitly supports automotive applications. Application-specific requirements must be evaluated before substitution in automotive designs.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 is supplied in tube packaging. The JST S11B-XASK-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect inventory management and assembly line integration.

Q: Do both parts support solder termination?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 6-103634-0 supports solder termination. The JST S11B-XASK-1 supports both press-fit and solder termination, providing additional assembly method flexibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
