• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 1A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Series: AMP-Latch
• Features: Keying Slot
• Insulation Color: Black
• Product Status: Active

Allowed Variations (Non-Critical Differences):

• Packaging format (Bulk vs. Tube)
• Contact Length - Mating (0.240" vs. 0.237")
• Contact Length - Post (0.135" vs. 0.102")
• Insulation Height (0.360" vs. 0.362")
• Contact Material (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact Finish - Post (Tin-Lead vs. Tin)
• Insulation Material (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Fastening Type detail (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks vs. Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Short)
• RoHS Status (Not applicable vs. ROHS3 Compliant)
• Material Flammability Rating (Not specified vs. UL94 V-0)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104315-9 and 1-1761609-5 are Active status products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are functionally equivalent for rectangular connector header applications requiring 50-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting.

Selection Criteria Based on Product Compliance:

The 1-1761609-5 substitute part provides ROHS3 compliance certification and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, which are not specified for the main part 104315-9. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for applications with explicit RoHS3 or UL94 V-0 compliance requirements.

The 104315-9 main part is available in Bulk packaging with 1037 pieces in stock, while the 1-1761609-5 substitute is available in Tube packaging with 2200 pieces in stock. Packaging selection depends on procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications: 1A per contact current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Contact geometry variations (mating contact length 0.240" vs. 0.237", post contact length 0.135" vs. 0.102") are within acceptable tolerances for standard connector applications. Insulation material differences (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate) and contact material variations (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze) do not affect functional interchangeability in standard board-to-cable/wire connection scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104315-9 and 1-1761609-5 connectors mechanically compatible?

A: Both connectors share identical critical mechanical specifications: 50 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, and shrouded 4-wall design. Mating interface dimensions are functionally equivalent. Minor variations in contact post length (0.135" vs. 0.102") and insulation height (0.360" vs. 0.362") do not prevent mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What are the electrical differences between these two parts?

A: Both parts are electrically identical: 1A per contact current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Contact finish specifications are equivalent (30.0µin gold or gold-palladium mating surface, 100.0µin post finish). The substitute part uses tin post finish versus tin-lead on the main part; both finishes meet solder termination requirements.

Q: Why does the substitute part have different contact materials?

A: The 1-1761609-5 uses phosphor bronze contacts while the 104315-9 uses brass contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for 1A per contact applications. Material selection does not affect functional performance in standard connector applications.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference (Bulk vs. Tube)?

A: Packaging format affects procurement and assembly handling only. Bulk packaging (104315-9) and Tube packaging (1-1761609-5) contain the same connector specifications. Selection depends on manufacturing workflow, inventory management, and assembly line requirements.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS compliance?

A: The 1-1761609-5 is ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The 104315-9 main part does not specify these certifications. Applications requiring explicit RoHS3 or UL94 V-0 compliance should use the 1-1761609-5 substitute.

Q: Are the insulation materials interchangeable?

A: The main part uses polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation, while the substitute uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials provide adequate insulation properties for 250VAC applications and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Material selection does not affect functional interchangeability in standard connector applications.

Q: What is the difference in fastening type between these parts?

A: The 104315-9 features latch lock/eject hooks, while the 1-1761609-5 features latch lock/eject hooks with "Short" designation. Both fastening types provide equivalent mechanical retention and release functionality for board-to-cable/wire connections.

Q: Can I substitute these parts in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Both connectors share identical mounting specifications (through-hole, right-angle) and pitch dimensions (0.100" / 2.54mm). PCB footprints are compatible. Minor contact geometry variations do not require design changes for standard applications.
