Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-104069-2 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (24)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (30VAC)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 6-104069-2 meets all critical matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and functional specifications. The primary distinction between these parts relates to compliance certifications and contact finish specifications on the post termination, which do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6-104069-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the 1-104069-2 for all electrical and mechanical applications.
