Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 1-104074-1 and 6-104074-1 is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters that define connector interchangeability. Both parts share the same base product number (104074) and maintain equivalent performance characteristics across all critical dimensions and electrical ratings.

The following parameters are identical between the main part and substitute:

• Connector type, contact type, and position count
• Pitch, mounting configuration, and shrouding design
• Contact dimensions and material composition
• Operating temperature range and voltage rating
• Flammability certification and insulation specifications
• Termination method and fastening type
• Mating contact finish and material

Differences between these parts are limited to packaging format (Bulk versus Tube) and compliance certifications, which do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-104074-1 and 6-104074-1 are functionally equivalent rectangular connectors within the AMPMODU System 50 series. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and compliance specifications rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

1-104074-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging with RoHS status listed as Not applicable. This part is suitable for applications where bulk quantities are preferred and RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

6-104074-1 is supplied in Tube packaging and carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. This part is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and where tube packaging is acceptable for handling and storage.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), voltage rating (30VAC), and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The contact finish on the post differs slightly (Tin-Lead versus Tin), but both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes.

Selection should be based on compliance requirements of the end application and packaging format preferences. Inventory availability should also be considered, as 6-104074-1 currently has higher stock levels (5353 pieces versus 948 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 1-104074-1 and 6-104074-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with the same voltage rating (30VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), and contact specifications. They can be used interchangeably in circuit applications without performance differences.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Tube packaging?

A: Bulk packaging supplies loose components, while Tube packaging provides components in a protective tube format. Tube packaging offers better protection during storage and handling but may have different minimum order quantities. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Does the contact finish difference (Tin-Lead versus Tin) affect compatibility?

A: No. Both Tin-Lead and Tin finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes. The contact finish thickness is identical (150.0µin / 3.81µm) for both parts. The difference reflects manufacturing process variations and does not impact functional performance.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Select 6-104074-1, which carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. The main part (1-104074-1) has RoHS status listed as Not applicable and should not be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), contact lengths (0.125" mating / 0.100" post), insulation height (0.190"), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall), and mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle). They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Can I use these connectors in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for automotive applications along with general purpose, medical, and telecommunications use. They meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the -65°C ~ 105°C temperature range suitable for automotive environments.

Q: What is the AMPMODU System 50 series?

A: AMPMODU System 50 is the connector series designation for both parts. This series classification indicates they share the same mechanical and electrical interface standards, ensuring compatibility within the system.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these connectors?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
