HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE is a 4-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole connector features gold-plated mating contacts and push-pull fastening, operating across -55°C to 125°C. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements where alternative mechanical or electrical characteristics are acceptable within defined parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 5-534206-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type (Receptacle) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Matching position count (4 positions) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Matching mounting method (Through Hole) and termination (Solder)
• Identical fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Matching contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Identical insulation color (Black)
• Compatible style classification (Board to Board or Cable)

These parameters establish mechanical and electrical interchangeability for standard board-to-board connection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain active production status and comply with applicable environmental regulations (RoHS and REACH). The HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE operates within -55°C to 125°C, while the 5-534206-2 extends the lower temperature limit to -65°C, providing broader thermal coverage. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special handling requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, delivery timeline, and specific application temperature requirements within the stated operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (4), and row configuration (2 rows). They mount identically via through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts? A: The primary differences are insulation height (HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE: 0.138"; 5-534206-2: 0.320"), contact material composition (Beryllium Copper vs. Phosphor Bronze), current rating (4.1A vs. 2A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -65°C to 125°C). The 5-534206-2 also carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Can I use the 5-534206-2 as a direct replacement? A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established for standard board-to-board applications. However, verify that the higher insulation height (0.320" vs. 0.138") does not conflict with PCB layout constraints, and confirm that the lower current rating (2A vs. 4.1A per contact) meets application requirements.

Q: What packaging differences exist? A: The HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 5-534206-2 is supplied in Tube packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental standards? A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The HLE-102-02-L-DV-TE is specifically ROHS3 compliant. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification.
