TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104319-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104319-1 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 16 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, shrouded 4-wall construction, and gold-plated mating contacts. The 104319-1 belongs to the AMPMODU Mod II series and is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, identifying equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers is necessary to ensure continued component availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 104319-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 16
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex C-Grid 74164 series parts (0741640116 and 0741640316) satisfy all mandatory matching parameters. Both substitute parts are classified as active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The substitutes employ Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation material in place of thermoplastic, which provides equivalent functional performance within the specified operating envelope. Contact finish variations between the main part and substitutes do not preclude functional equivalence for standard board-to-board interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs: The Molex C-Grid 74164 series substitutes (0741640116 or 0741640316) are the recommended selections for new product development. Both parts carry active product status, ensuring manufacturer support and long-term availability. The Molex substitutes achieve ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications. The 0741640316 variant with gold mating contact finish provides the closest electrical performance match to the original TE Connectivity 104319-1 specification.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The TE Connectivity 104319-1 remains available in inventory (1177 pieces in stock) for direct replacement in existing systems requiring exact specification matching. When original parts are unavailable or depleted, the Molex 0741640316 serves as the primary substitute due to gold mating contact finish alignment. The Molex 0741640116 with tin mating contact finish functions as a secondary substitute when cost optimization is prioritized over exact finish specification matching.

Compliance Considerations: Both Molex substitutes provide superior regulatory compliance compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity part. The transition from RoHS non-compliant to ROHS3 compliant status and from vendor-undefined to REACH unaffected status represents a compliance upgrade suitable for applications subject to environmental and safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0741640116 and 0741640316 be used interchangeably with the TE Connectivity 104319-1?

A: Both Molex parts satisfy the critical functional parameters required for substitution: 16 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, and solder termination. The primary difference between the two Molex variants is the mating contact finish (tin versus gold). The 0741640316 with gold finish provides closer electrical performance alignment to the original specification.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Contact length mating dimensions differ slightly: the TE Connectivity 104319-1 specifies 0.318" (8.08mm) compared to 0.315" (8.00mm) for both Molex substitutes. Contact post length is 0.135" (3.43mm) for the original versus 0.130" (3.30mm) for substitutes. Insulation height is 0.400" (10.16mm) for the TE part versus 0.420" (10.67mm) for Molex parts. These dimensional variations remain within acceptable tolerance ranges for standard board-to-board interconnection applications.

Q: How do the insulation materials differ?

A: The TE Connectivity 104319-1 uses thermoplastic insulation, while both Molex substitutes employ Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled material. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain equivalent functional performance across the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex 0741640116 and 0741640316?

A: Both parts are identical except for mating contact finish. The 0741640116 features tin mating contact finish with 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness, while the 0741640316 features gold mating contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Both maintain tin post contact finish. The gold-finished 0741640316 provides superior corrosion resistance and electrical performance characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 104319-1 packaging is not specified in the technical data. Both Molex substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitutes meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both Molex substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations. The original TE Connectivity 104319-1 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status, making the Molex substitutes preferable for applications subject to regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 104319-1 specifies a 3A current rating per contact. Current rating specifications are not provided for the Molex substitutes in the available technical data. Consult Molex detailed specifications or contact the manufacturer for current rating confirmation.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive applications?

A: The Molex C-Grid 74164 series (both 0741640116 and 0741640316) list automotive applications in their specification. The TE Connectivity 104319-1 does not specify applications. Verify application suitability based on your specific automotive requirements and environmental conditions.
