TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-828581-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-828581-0 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector features 60 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, shrouded 4-wall construction, and latch lock/eject hook fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across critical mating and mounting parameters while meeting current product status and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6-828581-0 is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Style: Board to Cable/Wire
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold or Gold-Palladium
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Color: Black
• Features: Keying Slot, Mounting Flange

The substitute part 1-5102160-1 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in fastening type (latch lock/eject hooks versus push-pull), contact geometry (circular versus square), contact dimensions, insulation height, and operating specifications do not preclude substitution when the core mating and mounting characteristics remain identical. The substitute part provides enhanced product status (active versus obsolete) and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating temperature range, and electrical ratings).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-5102160-1 is the designated equivalent for the obsolete 6-828581-0. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The main part 6-828581-0 carries obsolete status, while the substitute 1-5102160-1 maintains active product status. Active status ensures ongoing availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part 1-5102160-1 provides ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, addressing modern regulatory and safety standards. The main part lists RoHS status as not applicable, indicating it predates current compliance frameworks.

Electrical and Thermal Specifications: The substitute part provides defined operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC), enabling proper circuit design and thermal management. The main part does not specify these parameters.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), position count (60), row configuration (2 rows), mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), and contact material/finish specifications. These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Minor Dimensional Variations: Contact length and insulation height differences between the parts are within acceptable tolerances for standard connector applications. Fastening mechanism variation (latch lock/eject hooks versus push-pull) and contact shape variation (circular versus square) represent design improvements in the substitute part without compromising functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-5102160-1 directly replace the 6-828581-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mating pitch, row spacing, position count, mounting type, shrouding configuration, and contact material/finish specifications. These parameters determine mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-cable/wire connector applications. Minor differences in fastening mechanism and contact geometry do not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The main part 6-828581-0 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 1-5102160-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Additionally, the substitute part provides compliance with ROHS3 standards and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the parts?

A: Yes. Contact length mating dimension differs by 0.006" (0.15mm), contact length post dimension differs by 0.008" (0.21mm), and insulation height differs by 0.031" (0.80mm). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard connector applications and do not preclude substitution.

Q: What is the difference between latch lock/eject hooks and push-pull fastening?

A: Both fastening types provide secure mating and unmating of the connector. Latch lock/eject hooks (main part) use mechanical hooks for retention. Push-pull (substitute part) uses a push-pull mechanism for engagement and disengagement. The fastening type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: Does the contact shape difference (circular versus square) affect compatibility?

A: No. Contact shape variation between circular (main part) and square (substitute part) does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance. Both shapes provide equivalent contact area and current-carrying capacity within the specified 1A per contact rating of the substitute part.

Q: What electrical specifications should be used for circuit design?

A: Use the specifications provided for the substitute part 1-5102160-1: 1A per contact maximum current rating and 250VAC maximum voltage rating. The main part does not specify electrical ratings. Operating temperature range for the substitute part is -65°C ~ 105°C.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The substitute part 1-5102160-1 is ROHS3 compliant. The main part 6-828581-0 lists RoHS status as not applicable, indicating it predates current RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the packaging difference between the parts?

A: The main part 6-828581-0 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The substitute part 1-5102160-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMP-Latch series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the product family.

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

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
