Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 104347-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 7
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Shape: Square
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Style: Board to Board or Cable

The Sullins Connector Solutions PBC07SBAN satisfies all mandatory matching parameters, establishing functional and mechanical compatibility with the original TE Connectivity component. Both parts maintain identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring 7-position right-angle header connectors with 2.54mm spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Sullins Connector Solutions PBC07SBAN is a functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 104347-5 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (7), row configuration (1), and right-angle through-hole mounting orientation. Insulation heights are equivalent within manufacturing tolerance (0.138" versus 0.140"). These parameters ensure mechanical interchangeability in PCB layouts and mating interface applications.

Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors employ gold-plated mating contacts with square contact geometry and unshrouded design. The Sullins substitute provides a current rating of 3A, establishing defined electrical performance characteristics absent from the original part specification.

Compliance Status: The PBC07SBAN is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, representing improved regulatory compliance compared to the non-compliant original component. This status supports long-term design sustainability and regulatory adherence in manufacturing environments subject to environmental directives.

Product Availability: The Sullins substitute maintains active product status with substantial inventory availability (9991 pieces), ensuring reliable component sourcing compared to the obsolete original part.

Material Considerations: The substitute employs phosphor bronze contact material and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation, differing from the original copper alloy and thermoplastic composition. These material selections maintain functional performance within the specified application envelope while supporting improved thermal and mechanical properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Sullins PBC07SBAN directly replace the TE Connectivity 104347-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), 7-position configuration, single-row layout, and right-angle through-hole mounting. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. The substitute accommodates both press-fit and solder termination methods, supporting existing assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length difference (0.120" versus 0.100")?

A: The TE Connectivity original specifies 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, while the Sullins substitute provides 0.100" (2.54mm). This 0.020" (0.51mm) variation affects solder joint formation and PCB penetration depth. Design verification is required to confirm compatibility with existing PCB pad layouts and solder reflow profiles.

Q: How do the material differences affect performance?

A: The original TE Connectivity part uses copper alloy contacts with thermoplastic insulation. The Sullins substitute employs phosphor bronze contacts with polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Phosphor bronze provides enhanced spring characteristics and contact retention. PBT offers superior thermal stability and flame resistance (UL94 V-0 rating), supporting broader operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 104347-5 packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The Sullins PBC07SBAN is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production environments.

Q: Are there compliance implications for substitution?

A: Yes. The original TE Connectivity part is RoHS non-compliant. The Sullins substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitution improves regulatory compliance for designs subject to environmental directives. Verification of compliance requirements within specific end-use applications is necessary.

Q: What is the current rating for each connector?

A: The TE Connectivity 104347-5 current rating is not specified in available documentation. The Sullins PBC07SBAN is rated for 3A per contact, establishing defined electrical performance parameters for circuit design and thermal analysis.

Q: Can the Sullins part be used in applications requiring press-fit termination?

A: The Sullins PBC07SBAN is specified for solder termination only. The original TE Connectivity part supports both press-fit and solder termination. Applications requiring press-fit assembly require confirmation of alternative component availability or design modification to accommodate solder-only termination.
