Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-103330-4 (Primary Substitute)

The 5-103330-4 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 104355-4. Both parts belong to the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: 5-103330-4 is active with current manufacturing support, whereas 104355-4 is obsolete. The 5-103330-4 achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and production. Contact finish differs (Tin vs. Tin-Lead), which does not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating parameters. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring active product support and regulatory compliance.

Molex 0010894086 (Alternative Substitute)

The 0010894086 provides cross-manufacturer compatibility for applications where Molex components are preferred or standardized. This part maintains the core connector architecture and electrical specifications. Dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height, which may require mechanical validation in space-constrained applications. The gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin or tin-lead finishes. Operating temperature range is not specified for this part, requiring confirmation against application requirements. ROHS3 compliance status supports regulatory requirements. This part is suitable for applications where dimensional tolerance and contact finish specifications align with design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-103330-4 directly replace the obsolete 104355-4 without design modifications?

A: Yes. The 5-103330-4 maintains identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (8), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C). Both parts are from the AMPMODU Mod II series. The contact finish change from Tin-Lead to Tin does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between the 104355-4 and the Molex 0010894086?

A: Contact length - mating differs by 0.010" (0.26mm), with the Molex part measuring 0.240" (6.10mm) versus 0.230" (5.84mm) for the TE part. Contact length - post differs by 0.010" (0.26mm), with the Molex part measuring 0.110" (2.79mm) versus 0.120" (3.05mm) for the TE part. Insulation height differs by 0.018" (0.45mm), with the Molex part measuring 0.220" (5.60mm) versus 0.238" (6.05mm) for the TE part. These dimensional variations require mechanical validation in applications with tight spacing constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences among these parts?

A: The 104355-4 features Tin-Lead finish (100.0µin / 2.54µm thickness). The 5-103330-4 features Tin finish (100.0µin / 2.54µm thickness). The 0010894086 features Gold finish (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness). All three finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance within the specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C). Gold finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments but at increased cost. Tin and Tin-Lead finishes are suitable for standard industrial applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 104355-4 packaging is not specified. The 5-103330-4 is supplied in Tray packaging. The 0010894086 is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging differences affect handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes but do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 104355-4 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. The 5-103330-4 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. The 0010894086 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All three parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and EAR99 ECCN classification. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5-103330-4 or 0010894086 are appropriate selections.

Q: Is the Molex 0010894086 suitable for applications requiring a specified operating temperature range?

A: The operating temperature range is not specified for the 0010894086. The 104355-4 and 5-103330-4 both specify -65°C ~ 105°C. Applications requiring confirmed operating temperature specifications should use the 5-103330-4 as the primary substitute. The 0010894086 may be used only after confirming that the unspecified operating temperature range meets application requirements through direct manufacturer consultation.

Q: What is the current rating for the Molex 0010894086?

A: The current rating is not specified for the 0010894086. The 104355-4 and 5-103330-4 both specify 3A current rating. Applications requiring confirmed current specifications should use the 5-103330-4 as the primary substitute. The 0010894086 may be used only after confirming that the unspecified current rating meets application requirements through direct manufacturer consultation.
