TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104809-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 104809-8 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 9-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is classified as a shrouded 4-wall header with press-fit and solder termination options. The connector is rated for 3A current and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, making it suitable for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The product maintains Active status within the AMPMODU MTE series. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified for 104809-8 is 5-104809-8, which maintains identical specifications across all critical dimensions and electrical characteristics.

The substitution logic is based on the following parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Identical 9-position, single-row header format with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Physical Dimensions: Matching contact lengths (mating: 0.230", post: 0.130"), overall contact length (0.545"), and insulation height (0.535")
• Electrical Performance: Identical 3A current rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• Contact Specifications: Matching male pin contact type, square contact shape, and brass material composition
• Mounting and Termination: Identical through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination options
• Shrouding and Features: Matching shrouded 4-wall design with board guide and keying slot features
• Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintained across all substitutes

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 104809-8 and 5-104809-8 are Active status products within the TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE series and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility for rectangular connector header applications requiring 9-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole mounting.

104809-8 carries Not Applicable RoHS status with Tin-Lead post finish. This part is suitable for applications where legacy compliance requirements or specific post-finish specifications are required.

5-104809-8 is ROHS3 Compliant with Tin post finish. This part is suitable for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance and lead-free termination specifications. The contact finish variation (Tin versus Tin-Lead) represents the primary technical distinction between the two parts.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature), mechanical dimensions, and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance requirements and post-finish specifications applicable to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104809-8 and 5-104809-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 3A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and gold-plated mating contacts. The parts are electrically equivalent for all standard applications.

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

A: The primary difference is the contact finish material applied to the solder post. 104809-8 uses Tin-Lead finish, while 5-104809-8 uses Tin finish. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and mechanical performance. The selection depends on application compliance requirements and soldering process specifications.

Q: Can I use 5-104809-8 as a direct replacement for 104809-8?

A: Yes, 5-104809-8 is a direct substitute for 104809-8. All mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and connector features are identical. The primary consideration is the post finish specification and RoHS compliance status applicable to your application.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, which restrict the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. This is relevant for applications subject to European Union regulations or equivalent compliance standards.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions across all critical parameters: contact length (mating: 0.230", post: 0.130"), overall contact length (0.545"), insulation height (0.535"), and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The parts are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for Automotive, General Purpose, Medical, and Telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range support these diverse application categories.

Q: Is the shrouding configuration the same on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical shrouded 4-wall design with board guide and keying slot features. The mechanical keying and board alignment characteristics are equivalent.
