Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1761609-3 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 104315-1 rectangular connector header. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Transition: The 104315-1 carries obsolete status, requiring transition to an active equivalent. The 1761609-3 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1761609-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 104315-1 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Material Flammability Certification: The 1761609-3 carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating, providing documented fire performance characteristics. The 104315-1 does not specify a flammability rating.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), and mechanical configuration (10-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting with shrouded 4-wall design).

Minor Dimensional Variations: Contact length post dimension differs (0.135" versus 0.102"), and contact material composition varies (brass versus phosphor bronze). These variations remain within functional compatibility for standard board-to-cable/wire applications. Insulation material composition differs (polyamide glass-filled versus PBT), with PBT offering improved chemical resistance and dimensional stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104315-1 and 1761609-3 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (10 positions, 2 rows), electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), and mechanical mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle, shrouded 4-wall with latch lock/eject hooks). The connectors are functionally equivalent for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status, regulatory compliance, and material composition. The 1761609-3 is active and ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, whereas the 104315-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Contact material differs (phosphor bronze versus brass), and insulation material composition varies (PBT versus polyamide glass-filled). Contact post length is shorter on the 1761609-3 (0.102" versus 0.135").

Q: Does the shorter contact post length on the 1761609-3 affect compatibility?

A: The contact post length difference (0.102" versus 0.135") does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard through-hole solder termination applications. Both parts maintain equivalent mating contact length (0.237" versus 0.240") and insulation height (0.362" versus 0.360"), ensuring proper engagement with mating connectors.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1761609-3 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 104315-1 packaging is not specified. Tube packaging provides organized component storage and handling for production environments.

Q: Why should I transition from 104315-1 to 1761609-3?

A: Transition is necessary due to the obsolete status of the 104315-1. The 1761609-3 provides active product availability, improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3), documented flammability certification (UL94 V-0), and higher inventory availability (2196 pcs versus 776 pcs). All electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations with the substitute part?

A: No. The 1761609-3 maintains identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (250VAC) as the 104315-1. Current rating remains 1A per contact for both parts.

Q: Does the contact material change affect performance?

A: The contact material composition differs (phosphor bronze versus brass), but both materials maintain equivalent electrical conductivity and contact finish specifications (gold or gold-palladium mating surface with 30.0µin thickness). Phosphor bronze offers improved spring characteristics and wear resistance in cyclic mating applications.

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

A: The 1761609-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance, eliminating restricted substances (lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and others) from the component composition. The 104315-1 is RoHS non-compliant, indicating the presence of restricted substances. ROHS3 compliance is required for procurement in regulated markets and aligns with environmental and safety standards.
