Number of positions (40)
Number of rows (2)
Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
Voltage rating (30VAC)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 5-104069-6 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts belong to the AMPMODU System 50 series and share identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, and environmental specifications. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) and is classified as an active product.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104069-6 and 5-104069-6 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPMODU System 50 series. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, and environmental operating specifications.

The substitute part 5-104069-6 provides an additional compliance advantage: it is RoHS Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, whereas the main part 104069-6 carries undefined compliance designations. For applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the substitute part 5-104069-6 is the appropriate selection.

The only technical distinction between the parts is the contact finish on the post: the main part uses Tin-Lead while the substitute uses Tin. Both finishes meet the specified contact finish thickness of 150.0µin (3.81µm) and are functionally equivalent for solder termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104069-6 and 5-104069-6 interchangeable in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. They share identical pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact geometry, and mounting configuration. PCB footprints designed for one part accommodate the other without modification.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on the post?

A: The main part 104069-6 uses Tin-Lead finish while the substitute 5-104069-6 uses Tin finish. Both finishes meet the specified thickness of 150.0µin (3.81µm). The Tin finish on the substitute part aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards.
