Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 104362-1 and 5-104362-1 are Active product status connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPMODU MTE series. Selection between these parts is based on compliance and regulatory requirements rather than functional performance.

104362-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement
• Tin-Lead post finish specification is explicitly required
• Inventory availability of 622 pieces supports immediate deployment

5-104362-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring RoHS Compliant certification
• Tin post finish is acceptable for the application
• Higher inventory availability of 42,447 pieces supports sustained production volumes
• Regulatory environments mandating RoHS compliance

The contact finish variation on the post (Tin-Lead versus Tin) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, dimensional specifications, and operating temperature ranges. The choice between these parts is determined by compliance documentation requirements and post-finish material specifications for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104362-1 and 5-104362-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings of 3A current and 267V voltage, with operating temperature ranges of -65°C to 105°C. The electrical performance and current-carrying capacity are equivalent across all specified conditions.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: The post finish material differs between the two parts. 104362-1 features Tin-Lead plating on the post contacts, while 5-104362-1 features Tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and mechanical performance. The selection depends on specific application requirements and compliance mandates.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for automotive applications and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The choice between them depends on RoHS compliance requirements for the specific automotive program.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: 104362-1 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status, while 5-104362-1 is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require the 5-104362-1 part number. Applications without RoHS requirements can use either part.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions including contact length (mating and post), overall contact length, insulation height, and shrouding configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in terms of PCB footprint and mating interface.

Q: What is the keying slot feature?

A: Both connectors include a keying slot as a standard feature. This slot provides polarization capability to prevent incorrect mating orientation during assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on regulatory and compliance requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify 5-104362-1. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is acceptable based on inventory and post-finish material requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating Unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage and handling.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for medical applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for medical applications and maintain the UL94 V-0 flammability rating required for medical device enclosures and assemblies.
