Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the 66429-049 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for direct replacement:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of positions: 10
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 wall
• Termination: Solder
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 102160-1 meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting orientation, shrouding design, and termination method. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 66429-049 and TE Connectivity 102160-1 are active products with UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

The 66429-049 features a latch lock/eject fastening mechanism, circular contact geometry, and phosphor bronze alloy contacts with gold finish. The 102160-1 employs push-pull fastening, square contact geometry, and brass contacts with gold or gold-palladium finish. The 102160-1 provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC), whereas the 66429-049 does not specify these electrical parameters.

Dimensional differences exist in contact length and insulation height. The 102160-1 has a lower insulation height (0.315" versus 0.681") and slightly longer mating contact length (0.240" versus 0.230"). These dimensional variations may affect board layout and mechanical fit in constrained applications.

Both parts share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and shrouding design, establishing mechanical and electrical interchangeability at the connector interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 102160-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 66429-049 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible at the mating interface level, as both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through hole, right angle), and shrouding (4 wall). However, dimensional differences in insulation height and contact length may require PCB layout verification. Fastening mechanism differences (latch lock/eject versus push-pull) affect connector engagement behavior.

Q: What are the key dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: The 102160-1 has an insulation height of 0.315" (8.00mm) compared to 0.681" (17.30mm) for the 66429-049. Mating contact length differs by 0.010" (0.26mm), with the 102160-1 at 0.240" (6.10mm) and the 66429-049 at 0.230" (5.84mm). Post contact length differs by 0.005" (0.12mm).

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The 66429-049 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 102160-1 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. Both are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: What is the difference between the fastening mechanisms?

A: The 66429-049 uses latch lock/eject hooks for connector retention, while the 102160-1 uses a push-pull fastening mechanism. These different engagement methods affect how the connector is mated and unmated from the receptacle.

Q: Does the 102160-1 provide electrical specifications that the 66429-049 does not?

A: Yes. The 102160-1 specifies operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC). The 66429-049 does not provide these electrical parameters in the available data.

Q: Are the contact materials compatible?

A: The 66429-049 uses phosphor bronze alloy contacts with gold finish, while the 102160-1 uses brass contacts with gold or gold-palladium finish. Both employ 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish thickness. Contact material differences may affect electrical conductivity and wear characteristics in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 66429-049 is supplied in tray packaging with 881 pieces in stock, while the 102160-1 is supplied in bulk packaging with 828 pieces in stock. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.
