Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-104074-5 be used as a direct replacement for 104074-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, mounting type, termination method, and operating specifications. Both maintain identical contact geometry, shrouding configuration, and fastening mechanisms.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The substitute part 5-104074-5 is RoHS Compliant, while 104074-5 is RoHS non-compliant. RoHS compliance restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements should specify the RoHS Compliant variant (5-104074-5).

Q: Does the Tin versus Tin-Lead contact finish post affect solderability?

A: Both contact finishes are compatible with solder termination processes. The Tin finish on the substitute part meets the same thickness specification (150.0µin / 3.81µm) as the Tin-Lead finish on the main part. Soldering performance is equivalent.

Q: Are the mating contact specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with identical thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) and contact length (0.125" / 3.18mm). Mating performance and signal integrity are equivalent.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both 104074-5 and 5-104074-5 operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, supporting automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for through-hole PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination. They are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and board guide features.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 25 positions in a single row. This pitch specification determines compatibility with mating receptacles and cable connectors.

Q: Is there a difference in packaging between the two parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format is identical.

Q: What applications are these connectors rated for?

A: Both parts are rated for Automotive, General Purpose, Medical, and Telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range support these application categories.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry a 30VAC voltage rating, establishing the maximum voltage specification for circuit design and safety compliance.
