TE Connectivity 104893-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 104893-5 is a 50-position rectangular receptacle connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable. This connector operates as a female socket in the AMPMODU 50/50 Grid series and is classified as an active product. The connector features gold-plated contacts and is configured for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or supply chain continuity. The primary substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved regulatory compliance status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 104893-5 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters:

• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (50)
• Wire gauge (28 AWG)
• Contact finish material (Gold) and thickness (30.0µin)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Housing features (Closed End)

Functional Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire type (Ribbon Cable)
• Series designation (AMPMODU 50/50 Grid)

The substitute part 5-104893-5 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent.
