Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 6-146252-0

The TE Connectivity 6-146252-0 is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 6-146264-0. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series, including 20 positions at 2.54mm pitch, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The 6-146252-0 maintains RoHS compliance and is currently in active production status with 889 units in stock. The primary difference is termination style: the 6-146252-0 uses standard solder termination compared to the kinked pin solder termination of the original part. This substitution is direct for new designs and production applications.

Secondary Recommendations: Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® Series

For applications requiring extended operating temperature ranges or enhanced current ratings, the following Amphenol ICC (FCI) alternatives are available:

68690-120HLF and 68691-120HLF/68691-220HLF (BERGSTIK® II Series) These parts maintain the 20-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration with 3A current rating and extended operating temperature to -65°C to 130°C. The 68691-220HLF specifically matches the original part's gold contact finish with 15.0µin thickness. All three parts are RoHS compliant and actively produced.

67998-120HLF, 67998-420HLF, and 67998-620 (BERGSTIK® II Series) These alternatives provide 5A current rating with 110V voltage rating, suitable for higher-power applications. The 67998-120HLF and 67998-620 feature gold contact finish, while 67998-420HLF provides tin finish. Operating temperature specifications are not provided for these variants.

54102-S3010LF and 54102-T32-10 (BERGSTIK® Series) These parts maintain core 20-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch specifications with 3A current rating. The 54102-S3010LF operates to -65°C to 125°C with gold contact finish. The 54102-T32-10 is RoHS non-compliant and lacks specified operating temperature data.

10076801-406T20LF (BERGSTIK® Series) This part extends operating temperature to -65°C to 130°C with 3A current rating. Contact finish is tin rather than gold, and contact finish thickness is 78.7µin (2.00µm), providing enhanced durability in corrosive environments.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. For new designs, prioritize RoHS-compliant parts: 6-146252-0, 10076801-406T20LF, 54102-S3010LF, 68690-120HLF, 68691-120HLF, 68691-220HLF, 67998-120HLF, and 67998-420HLF. Avoid 54102-T32-10 and 67998-620 for new applications due to RoHS non-compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6-146252-0 directly replace the 6-146264-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6-146252-0 is the active equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is termination style: standard solder versus kinked pin solder. Both termination methods are compatible with standard PCB through-hole assembly processes. The 6-146252-0 is recommended for all new production and maintenance applications.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and standard solder termination?

A: Kinked pin termination features a bent post that provides mechanical retention during PCB assembly, while standard solder termination relies solely on solder joint formation. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical performance in production environments. Standard solder termination is more common in current manufacturing processes.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® parts fully compatible with the TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II connector?

A: The BERGSTIK® series parts maintain identical mating interface dimensions (20 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch) and are mechanically and electrically compatible. However, they are manufactured by different suppliers with different series designations. Compatibility is confirmed through matching of critical parameters: position count, pitch, row spacing, contact type, and fastening mechanism. Physical testing is not required for applications where these parameters are identical.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: For operating temperatures above 105°C, select from the following active parts: 10076801-406T20LF, 54102-S3010LF, 68690-120HLF, 68691-120HLF, 68691-220HLF, or 67998-120HLF. These parts operate to -65°C to 125°C or -65°C to 130°C. The 68691-220HLF is recommended for direct replacement with matching gold contact finish at 15.0µin thickness.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and corrosion resistance. The original 6-146264-0 and 6-146252-0 specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold mating finish. Thicker finishes such as 30.0µin (0.76µm) or 78.7µin (2.00µm) provide enhanced protection in harsh environments but are not required for standard applications. Selection should match application environmental requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. The 54102-T32-10 and 67998-620 are RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, select from: 6-146252-0, 10076801-406T20LF, 54102-S3010LF, 68690-120HLF, 68691-120HLF, 68691-220HLF, 67998-120HLF, or 67998-420HLF.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Packaging varies by part number. The 6-146252-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC (FCI) parts are available in bag, bulk, or tube packaging depending on the specific part number. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Can parts with 5A current rating be used in applications designed for 3A?

A: Yes. Parts with higher current ratings (5A) are suitable for applications designed for lower current (3A). The higher rating provides additional margin and does not affect performance in lower-current applications. However, the reverse substitution is not permissible.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: The 6-146252-0 has 889 units in stock. Amphenol ICC (FCI) alternatives have varying inventory levels: 10076801-406T20LF (802 units), 54102-S3010LF (1074 units), 54102-T32-10 (1017 units), 67998-120HLF (763 units), 67998-420HLF (777 units), 67998-620 (1178 units), 68690-120HLF (1000 units), 68691-120HLF (778 units), and 68691-220HLF (1081 units). All parts are available as new original stock.
