Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 104893-2 and 5-104893-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 20-position rectangular receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications, including gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, 28 AWG wire gauge compatibility, and IDC termination method.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility requirements?

A: Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.050" row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting, and closed-end design. They are mechanically interchangeable in all applications.

Q: Why do the HTSUS codes differ between these parts?

A: The HTSUS codes (8536.69.4051 vs. 8536.69.8000) reflect different tariff classifications. This difference does not affect functional equivalence but may impact import/export documentation and duties.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and REACH status difference?

A: The 5-104893-2 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing improved regulatory compliance for applications subject to these standards. The 104893-2 is not applicable for RoHS and is REACH Affected. For new designs, the 5-104893-2 is the preferred selection.

Q: Can I use these connectors with different wire gauges?

A: No. Both connectors are specified for 28 AWG ribbon cable only. Wire gauge is a critical parameter for IDC contact engagement and electrical performance.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly and manual handling.

Q: Is there a difference in contact plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature gold contact finish with identical thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: The 5-104893-2 is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, combined with higher inventory availability (2807 pieces vs. 643 pieces).
