Substitution of the TE Connectivity 104338-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Connector type (Header)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Number of positions (10)
Number of rows (2)
Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting type (Through Hole)
Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Contact shape (Square)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Operating temperature range (minimum -55°C to maximum 125°C acceptable)
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent - TE Connectivity 5104338-1:

The 5104338-1 represents the active production equivalent within the TE Connectivity product line. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 104338-1 while offering RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. The transition from phosphor bronze to brass contact material and from tin-lead to tin post finish aligns with contemporary manufacturing standards. This part is recommended as the primary replacement for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Alternative Equivalents - HARTING SEK Series:

The HARTING 09185107324, 09185107322, 09195107324, and related SEK series connectors provide functionally equivalent solutions with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. These parts maintain all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The latch holder fastening mechanism provides equivalent functionality to the push-pull design. These alternatives are suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental compliance.

Alternative Equivalent - Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF:

The Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF from the Quickie™ series satisfies all primary substitution criteria with RoHS compliance. This part features gold GXT™ mating contact finish and operates within the required specifications. The push-pull fastening mechanism matches the original design approach. This alternative is appropriate for applications prioritizing Amphenol ICC supply chain integration.

Compliance Considerations:

Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements should transition to 5104338-1, HARTING alternatives, or Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF. The original 104338-1 is non-compliant with RoHS and REACH affected, limiting its use in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09185107324 directly replace the TE Connectivity 104338-1?

A: Yes. The 09185107324 maintains all critical parameters: 10-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, and square contact geometry. The latch holder fastening mechanism provides equivalent functionality to the original push-pull design. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 125°C, exceeding the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity 5104338-1 and the original 104338-1?

A: The 5104338-1 is the active production equivalent with identical form, fit, and function. Primary differences include: contact material changed from phosphor bronze to brass, post finish changed from tin-lead to tin, insulation material changed to polyphthalamide glass-filled, insulation color changed from gray to black, and RoHS/REACH compliance status improved. All electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 104338-1 original packaging is not specified. The 5104338-1 is supplied in trays. HARTING parts are supplied in bulk or trays depending on part number. The Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF is supplied in tubes. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance certification?

A: The HARTING SEK series parts (09185107324, 09185107322, 09195107324, 09195106324, 09195105324740, 09185106322, 09185105324, 09185105322) offer ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. The TE Connectivity 5104338-1 offers RoHS compliance with REACH unaffected status. The Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF offers RoHS compliance with REACH affected status. Selection depends on specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the contact length difference between substitute parts?

A: Contact length variations exist among substitutes. The original 104338-1 specifies 0.240" (6.10mm) mating contact length and 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. The 5104338-1 maintains these specifications. HARTING parts vary: 09185107324 and 09185107322 specify 0.114" (2.90mm) post length, while 09185105322 and 09185106322 specify 0.177" (4.50mm) post length. The Amphenol ICC 10056844-110LF specifies 0.079" (2.00mm) post length. Post length selection affects PCB stack-up and mating depth requirements.

Q: Can the 10056844-110LF from Amphenol ICC be used in applications requiring extended temperature range?

A: The operating temperature range for the 10056844-110LF is not specified in the provided data. Applications requiring confirmed extended temperature operation should reference the HARTING alternatives, which specify -55°C ~ 125°C operating range, or the TE Connectivity 5104338-1, which maintains the original -65°C ~ 105°C specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for 1A per contact?

A: Current rating specifications are not provided for HARTING or Amphenol ICC parts in the available data. The original 104338-1 and TE Connectivity 5104338-1 are both rated at 1A per contact. Applications with specific current requirements should obtain detailed specifications from manufacturers for alternative parts.
