• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (30VAC)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Contact shape (Circular)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Mating contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Post contact finish thickness (150.0µin / 3.81µm)
• Insulation height (0.290" / 7.37mm)
• Contact length - mating (0.125" / 3.18mm)
• Contact length - post (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Features (Board Guide)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Series (AMPMODU System 50)

The substitute part 5-104069-2 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore a direct equivalent for the 104069-2.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-104069-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the 104069-2 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Both parts are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU System 50 series and share identical connector specifications, dimensional characteristics, and performance ratings.

Compliance Considerations:

The 5-104069-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 104069-2 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The 5-104069-2 is therefore the preferred selection for designs requiring documented RoHS3 compliance.

Post Contact Finish Variation:

The 104069-2 specifies tin-lead post termination, while the 5-104069-2 specifies tin-only post termination. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification (150.0µin / 3.81µm) and are compatible with standard solder reflow processes. The tin-only finish of the 5-104069-2 aligns with lead-free manufacturing practices.

REACH Status:

The 104069-2 is marked as "REACH Affected," while the 5-104069-2 shows "Vendor Undefined" REACH status. Organizations with specific REACH compliance obligations should clarify this status with the supplier before final part selection.

Both parts are suitable for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications within the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and voltage rating of 30VAC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-104069-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 104069-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-104069-2 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the 104069-2. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (1.27mm), position count (50), row configuration (2 rows), mounting style (through-hole right-angle), and performance specifications. The parts are interchangeable at the board level.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead and tin post finishes?

A: The 104069-2 uses tin-lead post termination, while the 5-104069-2 uses tin-only termination. Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. Tin-only finishes are standard in lead-free manufacturing environments. Both are compatible with standard solder reflow processes.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS3 compliance?

A: The 5-104069-2 carries explicit ROHS3 Compliant certification. If your application requires documented RoHS3 compliance, the 5-104069-2 is the appropriate selection. The 104069-2 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status.
