Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 104506-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact Type and Termination Method: Pin contact with crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 28-32 AWG range
• Contact Finish Specification: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Connector Series: AMPMODU MTE series membership
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Electrical Category: Rectangular connector classification

The substitute part 5-104506-7 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, confirming direct interchangeability within the AMPMODU MTE connector system. Both parts share the same base product number (104506), indicating design equivalence with manufacturing or packaging variations reflected in the part number suffix.
