The 103 series (103系 Hyaku-san-kei) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) type introduced in 1964 by Japanese National Railways (JNR), and currently operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) and Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu). They were also operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). In 2004, some sets were shipped to Indonesia, where they operate on the KRL Jabodetabek system in Jakarta.
The 103-0 series trains were built between 1963 and 1984.
This 8-car unit was built in 1963 without air-conditioning. The cars were withdrawn from service between 1988 and 1991.
These were built between 1964 and 1970. While not originally fitted with air-conditioning, most of the cars were fitted with air conditioning from 1975. The bogies of the trailer cars were changed from TR201 to TR212 for the cars built from 1968. Cars fitted with TR212 bogies feature disc brakes, because they needed to run on higher speeds on the Jōban and Hanwa Lines.
This single 10-car unit was built in 1970. It was equipped with various air conditioning units and tested on the Yamanote Line in Tokyo. It was subsequently modified to become a standard air-conditioned set in 1978. In 2000, four cars were scrapped at the Narashino Depot; the remaining six cars were scrapped at Keiyō Rolling Stock Center in 2005.
Built during 1972 and 1973, these units were similar to the air-conditioned prototype but without air-conditioning. This type was used mainly in Osaka area. Most cars were fitted with air-conditioning from 1976.
Built in 1973, they were similar to the air-conditioned prototype. They were fitted with motorized destination blinds on both sides.
Built between 1974 and 1980. The front end design was changed with the driver's cab raised so that an ATC signalling system could be included. Kuha 103 of this version was used in the Tokyo area only.
Built between 1979 and 1984. The front end design was the same as the ATC-equipped sets, although this type was not fitted with ATC. Kuha 103-811 & 816 were converted to include ATC in 1984.
