Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 104809-1 and the equivalent part 5-104809-1 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components share identical specifications across all critical dimensions, contact configurations, and performance ratings. The substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type, pitch spacing, and current rating remain constant
• Operating temperature range is identical
• Material flammability rating is equivalent

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions, rows, and contact lengths are identical
• Insulation height and overall contact length match precisely
• Mounting type and shrouding configuration are the same
• Termination method (Press-Fit, Solder) is consistent

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Both components are classified as active products
• Series designation (AMPMODU MTE) is maintained
• Applications remain consistent across automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications sectors

The primary distinction between these parts relates to compliance status and contact finish specifications on the post termination, which do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104809-1 and 5-104809-1 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU MTE series. These components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for standard applications requiring a 2-position, 0.100" pitch rectangular connector header with through-hole mounting.

Compliance Considerations:

The 5-104809-1 substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status, whereas the main part 104809-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring RoHS-compliant component documentation should utilize the 5-104809-1 variant.

The main part 104809-1 is designated as REACH Affected, while the 5-104809-1 carries Vendor Undefined REACH status. Applications requiring specific REACH compliance documentation should reference the applicable regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Contact Finish Specification:

The contact finish on the post termination differs between parts: 104809-1 specifies Tin-Lead, while 5-104809-1 specifies Tin. Both maintain identical contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and mating contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin / 0.38µm). This distinction does not affect functional performance in standard soldering or press-fit applications.

Inventory and Availability:

The 5-104809-1 maintains higher inventory availability (3664 Pcs) compared to the main part 104809-1 (770 Pcs), both supplied as new original stock in tube packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104809-1 and 5-104809-1 connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 2-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole mounting type, shrouded 4-wall design, and all contact length dimensions. They are directly interchangeable in applications requiring these specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these parts?

A: The mating contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin) is identical on both parts. The post termination finish differs: 104809-1 uses Tin-Lead while 5-104809-1 uses Tin. Both maintain the same thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm). This distinction relates to compliance requirements rather than functional performance.

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

A: The 5-104809-1 is designated RoHS Compliant and should be selected for applications requiring RoHS compliance documentation or subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications: 3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: Both parts are rated for automotive applications and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between them should be based on compliance requirements (RoHS status) and post finish specifications applicable to the specific automotive application.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: Both the 104809-1 and 5-104809-1 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are there any differences in the keying or board guide features?

A: No. Both connectors include identical board guide and keying slot features, ensuring consistent mechanical alignment and mating orientation.
