TE Connectivity 104433-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 104433-7 is a rectangular connector header manufactured under the AMPMODU Mod II series. This through-hole connector features 14 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-lead plated posts, supporting a 3A current rating at 30VAC operation across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

The 104433-7 carries an obsolete product status, indicating discontinuation from TE Connectivity. Locating equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design compatibility, ensure continued component availability, and support legacy system repairs and production requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and RoHS3 Compliance Requirements:

The Molex C-Grid series (0010897143, 0010977146, 0901310767, 0901310927) represents the preferred substitution path. All four variants carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The 0901310767 and 0901310927 are functionally identical, differing only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tray). These parts feature modern insulation materials (LCP or Polyester, Glass Filled) and REACH Unaffected status, making them suitable for applications subject to environmental regulations.

For Legacy System Maintenance and Retrofit Applications:

The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series (67998-114HLF, 67998-214HLF, 68691-114HLF, 68691-214HLF) provides direct dimensional and functional compatibility with the 104433-7. Parts 68691-114HLF and 68691-214HLF offer extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 130°C) compared to the original specification (-65°C to 105°C), providing thermal margin for demanding applications. These parts carry RoHS Compliant status and active product designation.

For Cost-Sensitive Applications with Relaxed Compliance Requirements:

The Amphenol ICC 68481-114 offers active status with RoHS non-compliant designation. This part maintains core dimensional compatibility and push-pull fastening but features reduced contact length specifications. Selection of this part is appropriate only when RoHS compliance is not mandated by application or regulatory requirements.

Dimensional Considerations:

Contact length variations exist across the substitute population. The Molex C-Grid III series (0901310767, 0901310927) exhibits reduced mating contact length (0.266" versus 0.318"), which may affect mating force characteristics and connector durability in high-cycle applications. The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series maintains mating contact length alignment with the original 104433-7 specification (0.318"), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing mating connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0901310767 directly replace the TE Connectivity 104433-7 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0901310767 maintains pitch, position count, row configuration, and fastening type compatibility. However, the reduced mating contact length (0.266" versus 0.318") and different insulation material (Polyester, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic) constitute design variations. Physical fit with existing mating connectors requires confirmation based on specific connector geometry and mating force requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0010897143 and 0010977146?

A: Both parts are from the Molex C-Grid 70280 series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The primary difference is contact finish thickness on the mating surface: 0010897143 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) while 0010977146 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). This variation affects contact wear characteristics and mating force over connector lifecycle.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II variants (67998-114HLF versus 67998-214HLF) interchangeable?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical, differing only in contact finish thickness on the mating surface: 67998-114HLF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) while 67998-214HLF specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). Selection between these variants depends on application requirements for contact durability and mating force characteristics.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best RoHS and environmental compliance?

A: The Molex C-Grid series (0010897143, 0010977146, 0901310767, 0901310927) provides ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, representing the highest compliance profile. The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series (67998-114HLF, 67998-214HLF, 68691-114HLF, 68691-214HLF) carries RoHS Compliant status but maintains REACH Affected designation due to legacy material composition.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Molex 0901310767 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while 0901310927 is supplied in Tray packaging. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II variants are supplied in Bag packaging (67998-114HLF, 67998-214HLF, 68691-114HLF, 68691-214HLF), and 68481-114 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory management and component handling procedures.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the Amphenol ICC 68691 series provide advantages over the original 104433-7?

A: The Amphenol ICC 68691-114HLF and 68691-214HLF specify operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C, compared to the original 104433-7 specification of -65°C to 105°C. This 25°C upper temperature margin provides thermal headroom for applications operating near the original specification limit or subject to thermal cycling stress.

Q: What is the significance of contact material differences between substitute parts?

A: The original 104433-7 uses Copper Alloy contacts, while most Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants use Phosphor Bronze, and Molex C-Grid variants use Copper Alloy. Phosphor Bronze offers superior spring characteristics and wear resistance, potentially extending connector service life in high-cycle mating applications. Copper Alloy provides cost efficiency with adequate performance for standard applications.

Q: Are there current or voltage rating differences that affect application suitability?

A: The original 104433-7 specifies 3A at 30VAC. Amphenol ICC 67998-114HLF and 67998-214HLF specify 5A at 110V, providing higher electrical capacity. Molex C-Grid variants do not specify current or voltage ratings in available documentation. Application selection should confirm that substitute part electrical ratings meet or exceed design requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: Molex 0901310767 maintains the highest inventory level (5516 pieces), followed by 0901310927 (2358 pieces). Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II variants range from 677 to 1074 pieces. Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897143, 0010977146) maintain 1048 and 947 pieces respectively. Inventory levels support both immediate procurement and long-term supply chain planning.
