Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 104074-8 and 5-104074-8 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type, pitch, and mating voltage rating (30VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material composition (Copper Alloy)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions (6) and row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact dimensions and geometry

Physical Specifications:

• Insulation height (0.190" / 4.83mm)
• Contact length - mating (0.125" / 3.18mm)
• Contact length - post (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Insulation material and color (Thermoplastic, Black)

Both parts belong to the AMPMODU System 50 series and maintain identical board guide features and latch holder fastening mechanisms. The substitution is valid where the specified parameters align across both components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The 5-104074-8 substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 104074-8 across all critical connector parameters. Both parts operate identically within the specified voltage (30VAC), temperature (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact configuration requirements. The contact finish on the post differs between Tin-Lead (104074-8) and Tin (5-104074-8); both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and are functionally interchangeable for the specified applications.

Compliance Considerations: The primary distinction between these parts lies in regulatory compliance status. The 5-104074-8 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the 104074-8 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection between these parts should be based on the regulatory requirements of the target application and end-use market. Applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH restrictions require the 5-104074-8 variant.

Inventory and Availability: The 5-104074-8 maintains significantly higher inventory availability (31,925 pcs) compared to the 104074-8 (1,071 pcs), supporting extended production runs and supply chain continuity.

Application Suitability: Both parts are rated for identical applications: automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications. Selection is determined by compliance mandates rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104074-8 and 5-104074-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at identical voltage ratings (30VAC), temperature ranges (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact configurations. The electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 104074-8 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5-104074-8 features Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and are functionally interchangeable for the specified applications. The difference reflects compliance variations rather than performance distinctions.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS3-regulated applications?

A: The 5-104074-8 is ROHS3 compliant and must be used for applications subject to RoHS3 requirements. The 104074-8 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for such applications.

Q: Are there mechanical differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications, including mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall), position count (6), pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), and all dimensional parameters.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid where the design does not impose specific compliance restrictions. If the original design specifies 104074-8 without compliance mandates, the 5-104074-8 is a direct substitute. If compliance requirements exist, the 5-104074-8 is the required selection.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging, maintaining identical handling and storage requirements.

Q: Are there any REACH or export control differences?

A: Yes. The 5-104074-8 is REACH unaffected, while the 104074-8 is REACH affected. Both parts carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS codes (8536.69.4040). Applications subject to REACH restrictions require the 5-104074-8 variant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
