Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 104550-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (60)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (30VAC)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)

The substitute part 5-104550-7 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. Variations in contact finish post material and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104550-7 and 5-104550-7 are active production parts from TE Connectivity and are functionally equivalent for board-to-board surface mount applications requiring 60-position receptacle connectors with 0.050" pitch and gold mating contacts.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance Requirements:

The 5-104550-7 is designated as ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to European Union RoHS Directive 3 and REACH regulations. This part features tin post finish instead of tin-lead, aligning with lead-free manufacturing requirements.

The 104550-7 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status and "Vendor Undefined" REACH status, indicating it may contain lead in the post finish (tin-lead). This part is suitable for applications without RoHS or REACH compliance mandates.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), voltage rating (30VAC), and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these parts should be based solely on regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the end application and manufacturing jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104550-7 and 5-104550-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 60-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.050"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (surface mount), and mated stacking heights (11.94mm and 13.08mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact post finishes?

A: The 104550-7 features tin-lead post finish, while the 5-104550-7 features tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. The tin finish in the 5-104550-7 aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The 5-104550-7 is designated ROHS3 Compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS Directive 3 compliance. The 104550-7 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 104550-7 and 5-104550-7 operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and carry the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical voltage ratings (30VAC), contact materials (phosphor bronze), mating contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and fastening type (push-pull). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different REACH statuses?

A: The 5-104550-7 is marked REACH Unaffected, indicating compliance with REACH registration requirements. The 104550-7 shows Vendor Undefined status. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the 5-104550-7 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application does not have specific compliance mandates. If the design is subject to RoHS or REACH requirements, the 5-104550-7 must be used. For applications without such requirements, either part is functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The 104550-7 has 1053 pieces in stock, while the 5-104550-7 has 1342 pieces in stock. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.
