TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104479-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104479-5 is a socket contact connector designed for rectangular connector applications. This component is classified as a Socket Contact with Tin-Lead finish, rated for 20-24 AWG wire gauges, and utilizes crimp termination technology. The part is currently Active in product status and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across wire gauge, contact termination method, pin/socket configuration, and contact finish specifications. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 104479-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Pin or Socket configuration: Socket
• Contact Termination method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge range: 20-24 AWG
• Contact Finish Thickness: 100.0µin (2.54µm)
• Series: AMPMODU Short Point
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 1-104479-5 maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Variations in contact finish material (Tin-Lead versus Tin) do not affect the substitution eligibility when all other parameters remain equivalent. Both parts share the same base product number (104479) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPMODU Short Point series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (104479-5): The 104479-5 is suitable for applications where Tin-Lead contact finish is specified or required. This part carries RoHS Not Applicable status and is available in bulk packaging with 944 pieces in current inventory.

Substitute Part Selection (1-104479-1): The 1-104479-1 provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with ROHS3 Compliant certification. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance or where Tin finish is acceptable. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 40,648 pieces.

Both parts maintain identical wire gauge specifications (20-24 AWG), crimp termination technology, contact finish thickness (100.0µin), and moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and application-specific finish specifications rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-104479-1 be used as a direct replacement for 104479-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts within the AMPMODU Short Point series, rated for 20-24 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination and identical contact finish thickness. The primary difference is contact finish material (Tin versus Tin-Lead) and RoHS compliance status. Substitution is valid when application requirements permit Tin finish and do not mandate Tin-Lead specification.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The 104479-5 features Tin-Lead finish while the 1-104479-1 features Tin finish. Both maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The contact finish material may affect solderability characteristics and environmental resistance properties depending on application requirements.

Q: Are both parts compatible with 20-24 AWG wire gauges?

A: Yes. Both the 104479-5 and 1-104479-1 are rated for 20-24 AWG wire gauges and utilize crimp termination technology. Wire gauge compatibility is identical across both parts.

Q: What does RoHS compliance status mean for part selection?

A: The 1-104479-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, indicating compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The 104479-5 is marked as Not Applicable for RoHS status. Applications subject to RoHS requirements should specify the 1-104479-1 substitute part.

Q: How do moisture sensitivity levels compare?

A: Both parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or application conditions.

Q: What packaging format is available for these parts?

A: Both the 104479-5 and 1-104479-1 are supplied in Bulk packaging format.
