Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 104916-1 are identified based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 5-position connector configuration
• Male pin contact type
• 3A current rating capability
• Copper alloy contact material with tin finish
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Single-row header design
• Through-hole mounting capability
• Shrouded 4-wall construction
• Solder termination support
• Square contact shape

Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN EAR99 classification

The JST Sales America Inc. BH5B-XH-2 connector meets these core substitution criteria, though pitch spacing differs slightly (0.098" versus 0.100"), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility before implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 104916-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Automotive and telecommunications environments with stringent thermal specifications
• Designs utilizing standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch PCB layouts
• Active product status with established supply chain (616 pcs in stock)
• RoHS Compliant certification for regulated markets

JST BH5B-XH-2 Selection Criteria:

• Applications operating within -25°C to 85°C temperature range
• Designs accommodating 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch spacing
• Press-fit termination capability for automated assembly processes
• ROHS3 Compliant certification for current regulatory requirements
• Higher inventory availability (1247 pcs in stock)

Both connectors maintain active product status, UL94 V-0 flammability compliance, and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts depends on PCB pitch design, operating temperature requirements, and assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JST BH5B-XH-2 directly replace the TE Connectivity 104916-1 on existing PCBs?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB layout verification. The pitch difference (0.098" versus 0.100") may result in misalignment on boards designed for 2.54mm spacing. Physical fit testing is necessary before production implementation.

Q: What is the primary electrical difference between these connectors?

A: Both connectors support 3A current rating with copper alloy contacts and tin finish. The JST part explicitly specifies 250VAC/DC voltage rating, while the TE part does not provide voltage specification in the available data.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for automotive applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 104916-1 lists automotive as an application category. The JST BH5B-XH-2 does not specify automotive applications in the provided data. Temperature range differences (-65°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 85°C) may affect suitability for extreme automotive environments.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The TE Connectivity 104916-1 is supplied in tube packaging with 616 pieces in stock. The JST BH5B-XH-2 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1247 pieces in stock. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration.

Q: Do both connectors support solder termination?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 104916-1 supports solder termination exclusively. The JST BH5B-XH-2 supports both press-fit and solder termination, providing assembly process flexibility.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 104916-1 is RoHS Compliant. The JST BH5B-XH-2 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What insulation material differences exist?

A: The TE Connectivity 104916-1 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation. The JST BH5B-XH-2 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled insulation. Material selection affects thermal performance and mechanical durability in specific environments.
