• Pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge (28 AWG)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Features (Closed End)
• Color (Black)
• Series (AMPMODU 50/50 Grid)

The substitute part 5-104893-8 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the main part number 104893-8. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical functional specifications. The primary distinction between these part numbers relates to regulatory compliance status and vendor certification documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

104893-8 Selection Criteria: The part number 104893-8 is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where legacy system compatibility is required. This part maintains active production status and is available in inventory quantities of 702 pieces. The part carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation.

5-104893-8 Selection Criteria: The part number 5-104893-8 is the preferred selection for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This variant maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to 104893-8 while providing enhanced regulatory compliance documentation. The part is actively produced with higher inventory availability (805 pieces) and carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined for this variant.

Compliance-Based Selection: Applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements must use part number 5-104893-8. Applications without RoHS3 mandates may use either part number based on supply chain and inventory considerations. Both parts share identical functional performance, mechanical fit, and electrical characteristics within the AMPMODU 50/50 Grid series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 104893-8 and 5-104893-8 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both part numbers are electrically identical. They feature the same 80-position receptacle configuration, IDC termination method, 28 AWG wire gauge rating, and gold contact finish specifications. Electrical performance and signal integrity characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Are 104893-8 and 5-104893-8 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically identical. They share the same 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.050" row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting type, closed-end design, and black color. Physical dimensions and mounting interfaces are equivalent.

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

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. Part number 5-104893-8 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, while 104893-8 is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications, including electrical performance, mechanical design, and physical characteristics, are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulations, part number 5-104893-8 is required. For applications without RoHS3 mandates, either part number is functionally suitable. Consult applicable regulatory standards for your target market and application.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or inventory availability?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability differs slightly: 104893-8 has 702 pieces in stock, while 5-104893-8 has 805 pieces in stock. Packaging format and handling specifications are identical.

Q: Can 104893-8 be used in place of 5-104893-8?

A: Substitution from 5-104893-8 to 104893-8 is not recommended for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The non-compliant status of 104893-8 violates RoHS3 regulatory requirements. For applications without RoHS3 mandates, 104893-8 is functionally equivalent.

Q: Can 5-104893-8 be used in place of 104893-8?

A: Yes. Part number 5-104893-8 is a direct substitute for 104893-8 in all applications. The ROHS3 Compliant status of 5-104893-8 provides enhanced regulatory coverage and is suitable for both RoHS3-regulated and non-regulated applications.

Q: What is the AMPMODU 50/50 Grid series?

A: The AMPMODU 50/50 Grid is a TE Connectivity connector series characterized by 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing in both the contact array and row-to-row configuration. This standardized pitch enables compatibility across multiple connector configurations within the series.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for ribbon cable termination?

A: Yes. Both 104893-8 and 5-104893-8 are designed specifically for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable. The 28 AWG wire gauge specification corresponds to standard ribbon cable conductor sizes used in data and signal distribution applications.
