Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 960114-7102-AR is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position count: 14 positions
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Contact finish: Gold or tin (based on application requirements)
• Insulation color: Black
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The substitute parts listed below meet these core requirements. Variations in insulation material, contact material composition, and contact finish thickness are acceptable within the scope of functional equivalence for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (MFR Recommended): 1-535676-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The TE Connectivity 1-535676-3 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent. It maintains functional compatibility with the 960114-7102-AR across all critical parameters: 14-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. This part is in active production status with 1730 units in stock.

Alternative Substitutes (Samtec Tiger Claw™ BCS Series):

The Samtec BCS-114 series provides multiple configuration options for applications requiring active production status and enhanced compliance certifications:

• BCS-114-F-S-HE and BCS-114-FM-S-HE: Gold-plated mating contacts with standard and modified insulation heights
• BCS-114-S-S-HE and BCS-114-SM-S-HE: Gold-plated mating contacts, tube packaging available
• BCS-114-T-S-HE and BCS-114-TM-S-HE: Tin-plated mating contacts for cost-optimized applications
• BCS-114-L-S-HE-014 and BCS-114-LM-S-HE: Specialized configurations with modified contact loading

All Samtec alternatives feature ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Current rating is 4.6A per contact with 475VAC voltage rating.

Selection Criteria:

• For direct replacement with minimal design changes: Select 1-535676-3
• For enhanced compliance and extended temperature range: Select any BCS-114 variant
• For gold-plated contacts: Select BCS-114-F-S-HE, BCS-114-S-S-HE, or equivalent gold variants
• For tin-plated contacts: Select BCS-114-T-S-HE or BCS-114-TM-S-HE
• For tube packaging: Select 1-535676-3, BCS-114-S-S-HE, or BCS-114-T-S-HE

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use BCS-114-T-S-HE (tin-plated) as a direct replacement for the gold-plated 960114-7102-AR?

A: Yes, within the scope of functional equivalence. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for 14-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle receptacles. Contact finish (gold vs. tin) affects corrosion resistance and cost, not mechanical compatibility. Application requirements determine the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the difference between BCS-114-F-S-HE and BCS-114-FM-S-HE?

A: Both are gold-plated 14-position receptacles with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The "FM" designation indicates a modified configuration. Consult Samtec documentation for specific dimensional or contact loading differences.

Q: Does the 1-535676-3 require different PCB footprint than the 960114-7102-AR?

A: Both connectors maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole right-angle mounting. Verify insulation height and contact post length against your PCB design: 960114-7102-AR has 0.126" insulation height and 0.130" contact post length, while 1-535676-3 has 0.137" insulation height and 0.115" contact post length. These dimensional variations may require PCB layout verification.

Q: Are all listed substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-535676-3 lists RoHS status as "Not applicable." All Samtec BCS-114 variants are ROHS3 compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between BCS-114-L-S-HE-014 and other BCS-114 variants?

A: The BCS-114-L-S-HE-014 is loaded with 13 positions instead of all 14 positions. This configuration is used when one position must remain empty. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical to fully-loaded variants.

Q: Can I mix gold-plated and tin-plated connectors in the same assembly?

A: Contact finish selection should be consistent within an assembly to maintain uniform electrical and corrosion characteristics. Mixing finishes is not recommended without specific application justification.
