TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-104128-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-104128-0 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a vertical orientation with 60 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, supporting board-to-cable/wire connections with solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

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 1-104128-0 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (60)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Long)
• Current rating (1A per Contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold or Gold-Palladium)
• Series designation (AMP-Latch)

The substitute part 1-1761606-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. Variations in contact material, insulation material, contact finish post composition, and specific dimensional tolerances do not affect substitution eligibility when all primary parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1761606-6 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1-104128-0 rectangular connector header. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and performance ratings.

Product Status Consideration: The 1-104128-0 is classified as obsolete, while the 1-1761606-6 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, the 1-1761606-6 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The 1-1761606-6 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 1-104128-0 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance.

Material and Dimensional Variations: The substitute part incorporates phosphor bronze contact material and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation in place of brass and glass-filled polyamide respectively. These material substitutions do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height remain within functional tolerance for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Packaging: The 1-1761606-6 is supplied in tube packaging, providing standardized handling and storage compared to the unspecified packaging of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1761606-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-104128-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-1761606-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. The connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range are identical. The part is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), contact material (brass versus phosphor bronze), insulation material (glass-filled polyamide versus PBT), and contact finish post composition (tin-lead versus tin). These differences do not affect substitution eligibility for electrical or mechanical applications.

Q: Does the change in contact material from brass to phosphor bronze affect performance?

A: No. Both brass and phosphor bronze are suitable contact materials for this connector class. The phosphor bronze material in the substitute part maintains equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties required for 1A per contact current rating and 250VAC voltage rating applications.

Q: Are the dimensional variations between the parts significant?

A: The dimensional variations are minor and within functional tolerance. Contact length mating differs by 0.003" (0.08mm), contact length post differs by 0.018" (0.45mm), and insulation height differs by 0.019" (0.48mm). These variations do not affect board-level compatibility or mating interface performance.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in many jurisdictions and a specification requirement for many original equipment manufacturers. The 1-1761606-6 achieves ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications with regulatory or customer-mandated RoHS requirements, whereas the 1-104128-0 does not meet these standards.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The 1-1761606-6 is supplied in tube packaging, which provides standardized component handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility. The main part packaging is unspecified. Tube packaging is the industry standard for connector components and facilitates supply chain management.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer and series?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMP-Latch series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the connector family.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. This classification applies to both the obsolete and active parts.

Q: Can the 1-1761606-6 be used in applications requiring tin-lead contact finish?

A: The 1-1761606-6 uses tin contact finish on the post, whereas the 1-104128-0 uses tin-lead. For applications with specific tin-lead requirements, this difference must be evaluated against application specifications. However, for standard board-to-cable/wire connections, tin finish is functionally equivalent.
