TE Connectivity 104350-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 104350-1 is a rectangular connector header, vertical orientation, 2-position configuration from the AMPMODU Mod II series. This connector is classified as obsolete and operates as a board-to-board or cable interface with through-hole mounting and push-pull fastening. The part features unshrouded male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-lead post finishes, rated for 3A current at 30VAC across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

Due to its obsolete product status, equivalent and substitute parts are necessary for ongoing design support, production continuity, and component sourcing. Substitute parts maintain functional compatibility through matching electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved availability and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-146257-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 104350-1?

A: Yes. The 5-146257-1 maintains identical contact geometry, electrical ratings, and mechanical interface specifications. The primary differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance, and insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic). These changes represent improvements in compliance and reliability without affecting functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the various Sullins PBC01 variants?

A: All PBC01 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for contact post length. The post length determines the overall contact length and is selected based on PCB thickness and stack-up requirements. PBC01DAAN features the shortest post (0.120"), while PBC01DAFN features the longest post (0.620"). Selection should be based on the specific PCB application requirements.

Q: Are Amphenol ICC (FCI) parts compatible with TE Connectivity parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 69192-102HLF and 77313-118J02LF maintain identical contact geometry, row spacing, and electrical ratings. The primary differences are contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy), insulation material, and operating temperature range. These parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the 104350-1.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material change from Thermoplastic to LCP?

A: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation provides improved dimensional stability, lower moisture absorption, and enhanced chemical resistance compared to standard Thermoplastic materials. This change improves long-term reliability and environmental performance without affecting electrical or mechanical interface specifications.

Q: Does the contact material change from Copper Alloy to Phosphor Bronze affect compatibility?

A: No. Phosphor Bronze provides superior spring characteristics and wear resistance compared to Copper Alloy. This change improves contact reliability and cycle life without affecting electrical performance or mechanical interface specifications. Both materials are suitable for the specified 3A current rating.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 104350-1 was supplied in unspecified packaging. Substitute parts are available in Bulk, Bag, or Tape packaging depending on the specific part number. Bulk packaging is the most common option for the recommended substitutes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 104350-1 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitute parts (5-146257-1, 5-146269-1, PBC01 series, 69192-102HLF, and 77313-118J02LF) are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: The 104350-1 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The 5-146257-1 and 5-146269-1 maintain this range. The Sullins PBC01 series and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 77313-118J02LF operate from -65°C to 125°C. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 69192-102HLF extends to -65°C to 130°C, providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Can substitute parts with longer post lengths be used in applications designed for the 104350-1?

A: Longer post lengths (PBC01DABN through PBC01DAFN) can be used only if the PCB stack-up and mechanical clearances accommodate the increased overall contact length. The mating contact length (0.230") remains constant across all variants, ensuring electrical compatibility. Physical clearance verification is required before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between Press-Fit and Solder termination?

A: Press-Fit termination uses mechanical pressure to secure the contact to the PCB, while Solder termination requires thermal bonding through solder reflow. Solder termination (used in 5-146257-1) provides superior mechanical strength and is the current industry standard. Press-Fit termination (used in 104350-1) is considered obsolete technology.

Q: Are there any compliance certifications beyond RoHS?

A: All parts listed meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements. The 69192-102HLF and 77313-118J02LF carry REACH compliance status. Specific REACH and ECCN classifications are available in the detailed specifications for each part number.
