Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-104074-6 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 1-104074-6 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Selection between these parts is determined by the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The 1-104074-6 is classified as obsolete, while the 6-104074-6 is active. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 6-104074-6 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6-104074-6 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 1-104074-6 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require the 6-104074-6. The 1-104074-6 remains suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Contact Finish Specification: The 1-104074-6 features tin-lead post finish, while the 6-104074-6 features tin post finish. Both maintain identical contact finish thickness (150.0µin / 3.81µm) and mating surface gold plating. The tin post finish of the 6-104074-6 aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards.

Packaging Configuration: The 6-104074-6 is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original packaging of the 1-104074-6. Verify packaging requirements for automated assembly processes.
