Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-104071-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (50)
• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Contact dimensions (mating length, post length, insulation height)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (30VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface, Tin-Lead post finish)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Functional Compatibility:

• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Style (Board to Board or Cable)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in packaging format, product status, or regulatory compliance do not affect functional interchangeability in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-104071-9 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1-104071-9. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU System 50 series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters.

Key Distinction:

The primary difference between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 1-104071-9 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6-104071-9 is an active product with RoHS compliance. The 6-104071-9 also features a Tin post finish compared to the Tin-Lead finish of the 1-104071-9, which aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards.

For new designs, production continuity, or system upgrades, the 6-104071-9 is the appropriate selection. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in applications requiring a 50-position, 1.27mm pitch vertical header connector with gold-plated mating contacts and through-hole solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-104071-9 and 6-104071-9 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), number of positions (50), contact dimensions, insulation height, shrouding configuration, and mounting type (through-hole). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: The 1-104071-9 uses Tin-Lead post finish, while the 6-104071-9 uses Tin post finish. Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The Tin finish on the 6-104071-9 reflects compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability when used with appropriate solder alloys.

Q: Why is the 1-104071-9 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-104071-9 has reached end-of-life status. The 6-104071-9 is the active replacement part within the same AMPMODU System 50 series, offering improved regulatory compliance and modern manufacturing standards.

Q: Can I use the 6-104071-9 in applications originally designed for the 1-104071-9?

A: Yes. The 6-104071-9 is functionally equivalent and electrically compatible. It operates across the same temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), maintains the same voltage rating (30VAC), and meets the same flammability standard (UL94 V-0). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 1-104071-9 packaging format is not specified in the available data. The 6-104071-9 is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications?

A: Yes. Both the 1-104071-9 and 6-104071-9 are rated for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. They share identical operating temperature ranges and voltage ratings required for these environments.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for the 6-104071-9?

A: The 6-104071-9 is RoHS compliant, meaning it meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. This is relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements mandating lead-free components. The 1-104071-9 is RoHS non-compliant due to its Tin-Lead post finish.

Q: Do both connectors require the same mating connector?

A: Yes. Both the 1-104071-9 and 6-104071-9 are headers within the AMPMODU System 50 series with identical pitch spacing and contact configurations. They mate with the same receptacle connectors designed for this series.
