Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 104108 receptacle connector is based on matching the following critical parameters across all candidate parts:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of positions: 133 (95 + 38 Ground)
• Number of rows: 5 + 2
• Connector style: B 19
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Press-Fit
• Category: Backplane Connectors

The substitute parts identified (5352033-1 and 5352869-1) are header connectors with male pins manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. These parts share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and termination characteristics with the main part. Both substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements, providing viable alternatives for applications requiring the 104108 receptacle connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5352869-1

The 5352869-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 104108. This part maintains full compatibility across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters, including pitch, position count, row configuration, and press-fit termination. The 5352869-1 carries active product status with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and production continuity.

Secondary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5352033-1

The 5352033-1 provides an alternative substitute option with identical mechanical specifications and active product status. This part includes documented contact finish specifications (gold, 30.0µin thickness) and electrical ratings (1.5 A, 500Vrms operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C), offering additional technical transparency for applications requiring detailed electrical performance data.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Z-PACK series and provide direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 104108 receptacle connector. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on specific application requirements and availability considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 104108 being replaced?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 104108 has reached obsolete product status. The identified substitutes (5352033-1 and 5352869-1) are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors that maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring design continuity and component availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts mechanically compatible with the 104108?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts share the same connector style (B 19), pitch (2.00mm), position count (133 with 95 + 38 ground), row configuration (5 + 2), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (press-fit). These parameters define mechanical compatibility for backplane connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both 5352033-1 and 5352869-1 are functionally equivalent. The 5352869-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. The 5352033-1 provides documented contact finish specifications (gold, 30.0µin) and explicit electrical ratings. Selection depends on application requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 5352033-1 and 5352869-1 are RoHS Compliant. The original 104108 is RoHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the original 104108. This classification indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or use.

Q: What electrical specifications are provided for the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are rated for 1.5 A current and 500Vrms voltage. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C. The original 104108 does not specify these electrical parameters in the available documentation.

Q: Can I use a header connector (male pins) as a substitute for a receptacle connector (female sockets)?

A: The substitute parts are header connectors with male pins, while the 104108 is a receptacle with female sockets. These are complementary connector types designed to mate together. Substitution requires that the mating connector type in your application is compatible with the header configuration.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging. The original 104108 packaging type is not specified in the available documentation.
