Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 1-103670-9 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 20
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Current rating: 3A
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: AMPMODU MTE

The substitute part 6-104909-9 meets all critical matching parameters. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the same AMPMODU MTE series and maintain identical electrical performance specifications for mating pitch, position count, current capacity, and temperature range. The primary distinction between these parts relates to post contact finish composition and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-103670-9 Primary Selection: The 1-103670-9 is the primary part number within the AMPMODU MTE series for 20-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connector headers. This part maintains active product status with 712 units in current inventory. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable or where legacy design specifications require tin-lead post plating.

6-104909-9 Substitute Selection: The 6-104909-9 serves as a direct functional equivalent with ROHS3 compliance certification. This substitute part is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance or where regulatory requirements mandate lead-free post plating. The substitute maintains identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating range. The post contact finish differs from tin-lead to tin composition, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating parameters. This part maintains active product status with 688 units in current inventory.

Compliance Considerations: Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and design specifications. The 1-103670-9 is suitable for non-RoHS applications, while the 6-104909-9 is required for designs subject to RoHS3 compliance mandates. Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and are suitable for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-103670-9 and 6-104909-9 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, including mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (20), contact lengths, insulation height (0.535" / 13.60mm), and shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall). Both are through-hole mounted headers with square contact shapes and keying slots.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are post contact finish composition and RoHS compliance status. The 1-103670-9 features tin-lead post plating and is RoHS non-compliant. The 6-104909-9 features tin post plating and is ROHS3 compliant. Both maintain identical mating contact finish (gold) and equivalent electrical performance specifications.

Q: Can I substitute 6-104909-9 for 1-103670-9 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is permissible when design specifications and regulatory requirements allow for RoHS3 compliant components with tin post plating. The electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters including current rating (3A), voltage rating (267V for 1-103670-9), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact configuration.

Q: What is the voltage rating for the 6-104909-9?

A: The voltage rating specification for 6-104909-9 is not provided in the available technical data.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the 1-103670-9 and 6-104909-9 are listed for automotive applications within their specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the current rating for both parts?

A: Both parts maintain a current rating of 3A per contact position.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage?

A: Both parts maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging format.
