Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0010894086 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of positions: 8
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Contact shape: Square
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All four substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, contact length tolerances, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications. The substitute parts are sourced from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, a manufacturer with established compatibility in the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE 5-103326-4 and TE 5-103330-4 are the primary substitutes for the Molex 0010894086. Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and are supplied in tray packaging. The 5-103326-4 features gold-plated mating contacts with 15.0µin finish thickness, while the 5-103330-4 uses tin-plated mating contacts with 100.0µin finish thickness. Both support the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and carry 3A current ratings.

TE 826634-4 is a secondary substitute with ROHS3 compliance and the highest inventory availability (7547 units). This part uses brass contact material instead of copper alloy and features a higher 5A current rating. The insulation color is green rather than black, and the mating contact finish is gold with minimal thickness (3.90µin). This part is suitable for applications where higher current capacity is required.

TE 104353-4 is not recommended as a primary substitute due to RoHS non-compliance status, which may conflict with regulatory requirements in automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications. This part does support press-fit termination in addition to solder termination and carries a 30VAC voltage rating specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts electrically and mechanically compatible with the Molex 0010894086?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts share the critical parameters that determine functional compatibility: 8-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, push-pull fastening, and square contact geometry. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material, and contact length tolerances fall within acceptable substitution parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the TE 5-103326-4 and TE 5-103330-4?

A: The primary difference is contact finish on the mating surface. The 5-103326-4 uses gold plating at 15.0µin thickness, while the 5-103330-4 uses tin plating at 100.0µin thickness. Both parts are RoHS compliant, support identical pitch and position configurations, and operate across the same temperature range.

Q: Why does the TE 826634-4 have a different insulation color?

A: The TE 826634-4 uses green insulation (polybutylene terephthalate) instead of black. This is a material and manufacturing difference that does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The color difference is purely visual and does not impact functional performance in standard applications.

Q: Should I consider the TE 104353-4 as a substitute?

A: The TE 104353-4 meets core electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements but carries RoHS non-compliant status. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your application. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, the 5-103326-4, 5-103330-4, or 826634-4 are preferred alternatives.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: The TE 5-103326-4 and 5-103330-4 are supplied in tray packaging. The TE 104353-4 and 826634-4 are supplied in bulk packaging. The original Molex 0010894086 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality but may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Which substitute has the highest current rating?

A: The TE 826634-4 supports a 5A current rating, compared to 3A for the other TE substitutes. If your application requires higher current capacity, the 826634-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any temperature rating differences between substitutes?

A: The TE 104353-4, 5-103326-4, 5-103330-4, and 826634-4 all support the operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The original Molex 0010894086 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.
