TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104432-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104432-6 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a vertical orientation with 12 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, supporting male pin contacts with press-fit and solder termination options. The part operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and carries a current rating of 3A at 30VAC.

The 104432-6 is classified as obsolete within the AMPMODU Mod II series. Due to its obsolete status and RoHS non-compliance, identifying equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines is essential for new designs, repairs, and ongoing production support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 104432-6 rectangular connector header is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish compatibility:

Primary Matching Parameters:

Connector type classification (Header, Breakaway)
Contact type (Male Pin)
Position count (12 positions)
Row configuration (2 rows)
Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
Contact shape (Square)
Shrouding configuration (Unshrouded)
Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
Insulation color (Black)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Operating temperature range (minimum -65°C, maximum 105°C or higher)
Current rating (3A or greater)
Termination compatibility (Solder-compatible)
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Active Product Line Substitutes (RoHS compliant, currently manufactured) and Legacy Compatibility Substitutes (RoHS non-compliant, limited availability). Selection depends on application requirements, regulatory compliance mandates, and thermal performance needs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliant Applications:

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® series parts 10076801-406-12LF, 10076801-406T12LF, 77313-422-12LF, 77313-446-12LF, and 77313-822-12LF are active products with full RoHS compliance. These parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications of the 104432-6 while extending the operating temperature range to -65°C to 130°C. The primary distinction among these variants involves contact finish specifications (tin versus gold) and contact length tolerances. Parts 77313-822-12LF and 77313-446-12LF provide gold-plated mating contacts, offering enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-plated alternatives.

For Enhanced Current Capacity:

The BERGSTIK® II series parts 67998-112HLF and 87894-112HLF support 5A current ratings, exceeding the 3A specification of the 104432-6. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher current handling while maintaining the 12-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

For Legacy System Compatibility:

The Molex 0010897123 (C-Grid 70280 series) provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining RoHS3 compliance. This part is actively manufactured and carries full regulatory compliance. However, operating temperature specifications are not provided in the available documentation.

For Non-Compliant Applications:

Parts 78548-112 and 78548-212 remain active products but do not meet RoHS compliance requirements. These BERGSTIK® II series connectors feature kinked pin termination and gold contact finishes. Selection of these parts is limited to legacy systems or applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 104432-6 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement depends on application-specific requirements. All listed substitute parts share the core mechanical interface (12 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, unshrouded configuration). However, differences in contact finish, termination method, and operating temperature range must be evaluated against your specific application requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series connectors?

A: The BERGSTIK® series (10076801-406-12LF, 10076801-406T12LF, 77313-422-12LF, 77313-446-12LF, 77313-822-12LF) and BERGSTIK® II series (67998-112HLF, 78548-112, 78548-212, 87894-112HLF) differ in contact material composition, post length, and current rating specifications. BERGSTIK® II parts generally feature higher current ratings (5A) and different contact post configurations. Both series maintain compatibility with the 2.54mm pitch standard.

Q: Are tin-plated and gold-plated contact finishes interchangeable?

A: Tin-plated contacts (77313-422-12LF, 77313-446-12LF) and gold-plated contacts (77313-822-12LF, 67998-112HLF, 87894-112HLF) are mechanically and electrically compatible within the same connector family. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred for applications with extended shelf life or harsh environmental exposure. Tin plating is suitable for standard industrial applications with normal environmental conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the "-12LF" suffix in part numbers?

A: The "-12LF" suffix indicates specific packaging and lead-free compliance characteristics. The "12" denotes the 12-position configuration, and "LF" indicates lead-free termination material compliance with RoHS regulations. Parts without this suffix may contain lead-based solder or use alternative packaging methods.

Q: Can the 104432-6 be used in new designs, or should substitute parts be specified?

A: The 104432-6 is classified as obsolete and is RoHS non-compliant. New designs should specify active, RoHS-compliant substitute parts from the BERGSTIK® or BERGSTIK® II series. Existing legacy systems may continue using the 104432-6 until end-of-life, but long-term availability is not guaranteed.

Q: What is the difference between press-fit and solder termination?

A: The 104432-6 supports both press-fit and solder termination methods. Press-fit termination uses mechanical pressure to establish contact with PCB pads, while solder termination requires thermal bonding through solder reflow. Most substitute parts listed support solder termination exclusively. Press-fit capability is not specified for the substitute parts provided.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect part selection?

A: The 104432-6 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Most BERGSTIK® series substitutes extend this range to -65°C to 130°C, providing additional thermal margin for high-temperature applications. Applications operating near or above 105°C should specify substitute parts with the extended temperature range to ensure reliable performance.

Q: Is the Molex 0010897123 a suitable alternative to the Amphenol ICC parts?

A: The Molex 0010897123 maintains the core mechanical and electrical specifications (12 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening). It carries RoHS3 compliance and is actively manufactured. However, operating temperature specifications are not provided. Compatibility should be confirmed with application thermal requirements before selection.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Bulk (0010897123, 78548-112), Bag (10076801-406-12LF, 67998-112HLF, 77313-422-12LF, 77313-446-12LF, 77313-822-12LF, 87894-112HLF), and Tube (10076801-406T12LF). Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement and manufacturing processes.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain the 2.54mm pitch and square contact geometry, ensuring electrical compatibility. Current rating differences exist: standard BERGSTIK® parts support 3A (matching the 104432-6), while BERGSTIK® II parts support 5A. Voltage ratings are not specified for most substitute parts. Contact material composition (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze) may affect long-term reliability in specific environments, but both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.
