TE Connectivity 104076-7 Rectangular Connector Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 104076-7 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector is part of the AMPMODU System 50 series and features 50 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing. The connector is classified as a board-to-board or cable connector with shrouded 3-wall construction and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production status with 717 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific compliance requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers within the AMPMODU System 50 series is determined by strict equivalence of the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (50)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 3 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (30VAC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 5-104076-7 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and the substitute relates to contact finish material on the post termination and regulatory compliance status. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (104076-7): The 104076-7 is the original part number and remains the first choice for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where legacy system compatibility is required. This part is currently active in production with higher inventory availability (717 units).

Substitute Part Selection (5-104076-7): The 5-104076-7 serves as the direct substitute when RoHS compliance is mandated by design specifications, procurement policies, or regulatory requirements. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part while providing RoHS-compliant status. The contact finish on the post termination differs (Tin versus Tin-Lead), which aligns with RoHS compliance requirements while maintaining equivalent solderability and electrical performance characteristics. This part is currently active in production with 660 units in stock.

Compliance Considerations: Selection between these two part numbers should be based on the specific regulatory and compliance requirements of the end application. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The choice between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant versions depends on whether the application or procurement specification requires adherence to RoHS directives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104076-7 and 5-104076-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including voltage rating (30VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), contact materials, and contact finish on mating surfaces (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness). The parts are functionally equivalent for all electrical applications.

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

A: The 104076-7 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5-104076-7 features Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. The Tin finish on the substitute part aligns with RoHS compliance requirements that restrict lead content in electronic components.

Q: Can I use the 5-104076-7 as a direct replacement for the 104076-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-104076-7 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting type, and shrouding. The connector will mate with the same receptacles and fit the same PCB footprints as the original part.

Q: Why would I choose one part over the other if they are electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Selection depends on regulatory compliance requirements. If your application or procurement specification requires RoHS compliance, the 5-104076-7 is the appropriate choice. If RoHS compliance is not required or if legacy system compatibility with non-compliant components is necessary, the 104076-7 remains suitable.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 104076-7 has 717 units in stock, and the 5-104076-7 has 660 units in stock. Both parts are active in production status.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are specified for Automotive, General Purpose, Medical, and Telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C support use in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
