Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 5-104071-1 is classified as a direct equivalent to the main part 104071-1 based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Identical connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and pitch spacing (0.050"/1.27mm)
• Matching voltage rating (30VAC) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Identical contact material (Copper Alloy) and contact shape (Circular)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Identical number of positions (10) and row configuration (1 row)
• Matching mounting type (Through Hole) and termination method (Solder)
• Identical shrouding design (Shrouded - 2 Wall) and fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Matching insulation material (Thermoplastic) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Identical contact dimensions: mating length 0.125" (3.18mm), post length 0.100" (2.54mm), insulation height 0.390" (9.91mm)

Packaging and Series:

• Same series designation (AMPMODU System 50)
• Identical packaging format (Tube)

The substitute part differs in contact finish specifications on the post (Tin versus Tin-Lead) and RoHS compliance status, with 5-104071-1 offering ROHS3 compliance compared to the main part's not applicable status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104071-1 and 5-104071-1 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard applications. The primary distinction between these parts relates to compliance and contact finish specifications.

104071-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where Tin-Lead contact finish on the post is specified or required
• Designs not subject to RoHS3 compliance requirements
• Existing inventory availability of 1195 pieces

5-104071-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Designs utilizing Tin contact finish on the post
• Higher inventory availability of 2982 pieces
• New designs or procurement cycles where RoHS3 compliance is mandated

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the 30VAC voltage rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Both are rated UL94 V-0 for flammability and feature identical mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and mounting specifications. The contact finish difference on the post (Tin versus Tin-Lead) does not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical fit, as both finishes are applied to the same 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104071-1 and 5-104071-1 directly interchangeable in circuit board designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical pitch spacing (0.050"/1.27mm), contact configuration (10-position male pin header), mounting type (through-hole solder), and operating specifications (30VAC, -65°C to 105°C). The parts are interchangeable at the board level without design modifications.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead finish on 104071-1 and the Tin finish on 5-104071-1?

A: The contact finish difference applies only to the post (solder connection point). Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The mating contact finish remains Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) on both parts. This finish difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why does 5-104071-1 have ROHS3 compliance while 104071-1 shows "Not applicable"?

A: The RoHS3 compliance status reflects the manufacturing and material specifications of each part variant. 5-104071-1 is manufactured to meet ROHS3 requirements, while 104071-1 is not designated as RoHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, 5-104071-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can I use these connectors in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both 104071-1 and 5-104071-1 are rated for automotive applications, along with general purpose, medical, and telecommunications use. Both maintain the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range suitable for automotive environments.

Q: What is the significance of the "Shrouded - 2 Wall" design?

A: The 2-wall shrouding provides mechanical protection and polarization guidance during mating operations. This design prevents accidental contact with the male pins and ensures correct connector orientation. Both substitute parts feature identical shrouding specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between these parts?

A: No. Both 104071-1 and 5-104071-1 are supplied in Tube packaging. Inventory quantities differ (1195 pieces for 104071-1 and 2982 pieces for 5-104071-1), but the packaging format is identical.

Q: What does "Latch Holder" fastening type mean?

A: Latch Holder fastening provides mechanical retention between the header and mating connector. This design ensures secure connection without requiring additional fasteners or mechanical locks. Both parts utilize identical latch holder specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in medical applications?

A: Yes. Both 104071-1 and 5-104071-1 are rated for medical applications. They maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and operate within the specified temperature and voltage ranges suitable for medical device interconnection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. These connectors do not require special storage conditions or desiccant packaging.
