Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 104892-7 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch geometry, row arrangement, termination method, wire gauge compatibility, contact material and finish, mounting orientation, and fastening mechanism.

The part 5-104892-7 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 70
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Wire Gauge: 28 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Color: Black
• Series: AMPMODU 50/50 Grid

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 104892-7 and 5-104892-7 are functionally equivalent rectangular connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and regulatory status.

The 104892-7 carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation. This part is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or where legacy component specifications are required.

The 5-104892-7 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The REACH status for this part is listed as Vendor Undefined, which may require clarification from the supplier for applications with specific REACH compliance obligations.

Both parts maintain identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. Both are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes, confirming equivalent trade and export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104892-7 and 5-104892-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically identical. They feature the same 70-position configuration, 0.050" pitch geometry, two-row arrangement, IDC termination interface, and latch lock fastening mechanism. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in ribbon cable assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors accept 28 AWG ribbon cable through IDC termination. The contact geometry, spacing, and termination force characteristics are identical, allowing direct substitution in ribbon cable harness applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 104892-7 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5-104892-7 is ROHS3 Compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on applicable regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the 5-104892-7 is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is functionally suitable.

Q: Are there any differences in contact reliability or performance?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, identical female socket contact geometry, and identical IDC termination specifications. Performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard handling and storage practices are applicable without special environmental controls.

Q: Can these connectors be used with different wire gauges?

A: No. Both connectors are specified for 28 AWG ribbon cable only. The IDC contact geometry and termination force are calibrated for this wire gauge. Use with different gauges will result in improper termination and contact reliability issues.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in Tube packaging. Inventory quantities differ, with 1082 pieces available for 104892-7 and 1583 pieces available for 5-104892-7.
