• Contact Type: Male Pin (identical)
• Number of Positions: 10 (identical)
• Number of Rows: 1 (identical)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall (identical)
• Contact Shape: Square (identical)
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic (identical)
• Features: Keying Slot (identical)

Physical Dimension Parameters:

• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm) (identical)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.130" (3.30mm) (identical)
• Overall Contact Length: 0.550" (13.97mm) (identical)
• Insulation Height: 0.535" (13.60mm) (identical)

Contact Finish Parameters:

• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (identical)
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 15.0µin (0.38µm) (identical)
• Contact Finish Thickness - Post: 100.0µin (2.54µm) (identical)

The substitute part 5-104362-9 differs only in contact finish post material (Tin versus Tin-Lead) and compliance certifications, with no impact on functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (104362-9): The main part 104362-9 is suitable for applications where tin-lead post finish is acceptable and RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part maintains active product status with established inventory availability of 943 units.

Substitute Part Selection (5-104362-9): The substitute part 5-104362-9 is functionally equivalent and provides RoHS Compliant certification, making it the appropriate selection for applications requiring lead-free compliance. The substitute part features tin post finish instead of tin-lead, with identical contact finish thickness and electrical performance characteristics. Inventory availability for the substitute part is higher at 3374 units.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPMODU MTE series and maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and operating specifications. Selection between the two parts depends on compliance requirements and inventory availability rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104362-9 and 5-104362-9 connectors electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate at identical current ratings (3A) and voltage ratings (267V) with the same operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C). The electrical performance is equivalent.
