Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 104128-6 and the equivalent part 1-1761606-1 is based on strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (34), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), fastening type (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Long), termination method (Solder), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per Contact), and voltage rating (250VAC).

The primary differences between these parts are packaging format (Bulk versus Tube), contact material composition (Brass with Tin-Lead post finish versus Phosphor Bronze with Tin post finish), insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon Glass Filled versus Polybutylene Terephthalate), minor variations in contact dimensions, and RoHS compliance status. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the electrical and mechanical interface requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 104128-6 and 1-1761606-1 are Active product status connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors series and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 34-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular headers with through-hole solder termination and latch lock fastening.

The 104128-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging and features Brass contact material with Tin-Lead post finish and Polyamide/Nylon glass-filled insulation material. This configuration is appropriate for applications where bulk quantities are required and RoHS compliance is not a constraint.

The 1-1761606-1 is supplied in Tube packaging and features Phosphor Bronze contact material with Tin post finish and Polybutylene Terephthalate insulation material. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The Tube packaging format provides organized component handling and is compatible with automated assembly processes.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, RoHS compliance mandates, and material specifications appropriate to the end application. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, operating temperature range, current and voltage ratings, and mechanical interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104128-6 and 1-1761606-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications including 34-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 1A per contact current rating, and 250VAC voltage rating. The contact finish on the mating surface (Gold or Gold-Palladium at 30.0µin thickness) is identical for both parts, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and signal integrity.

Q: What are the key mechanical differences between these parts?

A: The primary mechanical differences are contact material (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze), post finish (Tin-Lead versus Tin), and insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon glass-filled versus Polybutylene Terephthalate). Minor variations exist in contact length dimensions and insulation height. All other mechanical specifications including shrouding configuration, fastening type, mounting method, and keying slot design are identical.

Q: How do packaging formats differ between these parts?

A: The 104128-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 1-1761606-1 is supplied in Tube packaging. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume applications where components are handled in large quantities. Tube packaging provides organized, countable units and is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: The 104128-6 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status, while the 1-1761606-1 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must use the 1-1761606-1. Applications without RoHS constraints may use either part based on packaging and material preferences.

Q: Are the contact dimensions compatible between these parts?

A: Contact dimensions are similar but not identical. The 104128-6 has contact length mating of 0.240" (6.10mm) and post length of 0.120" (3.05mm), while the 1-1761606-1 has contact length mating of 0.237" (6.02mm) and post length of 0.102" (2.60mm). Insulation height also differs slightly (0.385" versus 0.404"). These minor variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-cable applications.

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

A: Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, with UL94 V-0 flammability rating for the insulation material. This specification applies regardless of which part is selected.

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

A: Yes, these connectors can be used interchangeably in applications where the mating interface, electrical performance, and operating conditions are compatible with the 34-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination specification. Design validation should confirm that minor dimensional variations and material differences do not impact the specific application requirements.
