TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-104128-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-104128-2 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded 30-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and supports board-to-cable/wire configurations with solder termination. The connector features latch lock/eject hooks and is rated for 1A per contact at 250VAC across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when packaging requirements differ.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 1-1761606-0 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (30 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and shrouding style (Through Hole, Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Long)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (AMP-Latch)
• RoHS and MSL compliance status

Allowable Variations:

• Packaging format (Tray vs. Tube)
• Contact material composition (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT)
• Contact finish on post termination (Tin-Lead vs. Tin)
• Minor dimensional tolerances in contact and insulation heights

These variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications where the connector operates within specified electrical and thermal parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-104128-2 and 1-1761606-0 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full compliance with RoHS and MSL requirements. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and availability constraints.

1-104128-2 Selection Criteria:

• Tray packaging preferred for automated assembly processes
• Brass contact material with tin-lead post finish specified
• Polyamide insulation material required for specific thermal or chemical resistance applications

1-1761606-0 Selection Criteria:

• Tube packaging suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production
• Phosphor bronze contact material acceptable for equivalent electrical performance
• Polybutylene terephthalate insulation material compatible with application requirements
• Tin post finish acceptable where lead-free termination is preferred

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental compliance across all standard board-to-cable/wire connection applications within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-104128-2 and 1-1761606-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors deliver identical electrical performance with 1A per contact current rating and 250VAC voltage rating across the full -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Contact material differences (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze) do not affect electrical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Tray vs. Tube), contact material composition, insulation material type, and post termination finish. These variations do not affect functional compatibility in applications where the connector operates within specified electrical and thermal parameters.

Q: Can I substitute 1-1761606-0 for 1-104128-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Long). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved.

Q: Does the contact material change affect reliability?

A: No. Both brass and phosphor bronze contact materials are standard in AMP-Latch series connectors and deliver equivalent performance in applications operating within the specified voltage and current ratings.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The 1-104128-2 carries ROHS3 designation while the 1-1761606-0 carries RoHS designation. Both are compliant with applicable regulations.

Q: Which packaging format should I select?

A: Tray packaging (1-104128-2) is optimized for automated assembly and high-volume production. Tube packaging (1-1761606-0) is suitable for manual assembly, lower-volume applications, or when tube-based component handling is preferred.

Q: Are the dimensional tolerances identical?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height. The 1-104128-2 has a contact length mating of 0.240" (6.10mm) and insulation height of 0.385" (9.78mm), while the 1-1761606-0 has a contact length mating of 0.237" (6.02mm) and insulation height of 0.404" (10.26mm). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for standard connector applications.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without affecting performance or reliability.
