Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connectors in this category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (60)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Mated stacking heights (6.35mm, 8.13mm, 9.91mm)

The substitute part 5-104652-6 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the primary part number 104652-6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both part numbers 104652-6 and 5-104652-6 are active products from TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU 50/50 Grid series and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for all standard applications requiring a 60-position, 0.050" pitch surface mount receptacle connector with gold mating contacts.

Compliance Considerations:

The substitute part 5-104652-6 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the primary part 104652-6 is marked as Not applicable for RoHS status. Applications subject to RoHS directives should specify part number 5-104652-6.

Post Contact Finish Variation:

The primary part 104652-6 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the substitute part 5-104652-6 features Tin post finish. This variation affects soldering characteristics and thermal cycling performance. Selection between these finishes depends on specific assembly process requirements and end-application thermal cycling specifications.

Inventory Availability:

The substitute part 5-104652-6 maintains higher inventory levels (2448 pieces) compared to the primary part number (866 pieces), providing improved supply chain continuity for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 104652-6 and 5-104652-6 directly interchangeable in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical across all critical mating parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact finish. They are direct substitutes for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: The primary part 104652-6 uses Tin-Lead post finish, while the substitute part 5-104652-6 uses Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability under standard assembly conditions. The selection depends on specific soldering process parameters and thermal cycling requirements defined in your assembly specifications.

Q: Why does part 5-104652-6 show RoHS Compliant status while 104652-6 shows Not applicable?

A: The RoHS status difference reflects the regulatory classification and material composition documentation provided by TE Connectivity for each part number variant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should specify part number 5-104652-6.

Q: Can I use part 5-104652-6 as a drop-in replacement for 104652-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 5-104652-6 is a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent. No design modifications are required. Verify that your assembly process parameters are compatible with the Tin post finish specification.

Q: What is the significance of the different REACH status values?

A: The primary part 104652-6 is marked as REACH Affected, indicating it is subject to REACH regulations. The substitute part 5-104652-6 shows Vendor Undefined for REACH status. Consult TE Connectivity documentation or your supplier for specific REACH compliance requirements applicable to your end-use application.

Q: Are the mated stacking heights identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts support identical mated stacking heights of 6.35mm, 8.13mm, and 9.91mm, ensuring compatibility with standard connector stack configurations.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Both parts are suitable for new designs. Part 5-104652-6 is recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance or when higher inventory availability is a supply chain priority. Part 104652-6 is appropriate for applications where Tin-Lead post finish is specified or preferred.
