Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-104352-3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

26 positions in 2-row configuration
0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Male pin contact type
Through-hole mounting
Push-pull fastening
Square contact shape
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Black insulation color
Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Contact length dimensions (mating and post)
Overall contact length
Insulation height tolerance
Termination method (solder compatibility)
Contact finish material and thickness
Insulation material composition

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters within acceptable engineering tolerances for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. Variations in contact finish (gold, tin, or tin-lead), contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), and insulation material (LCP vs. PBT) do not preclude functional substitution when mating geometry and electrical ratings remain compatible.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

The Molex C-Grid 87914 series connector 0879142616 represents the closest functional equivalent to the TE Connectivity 1-104352-3. This part maintains identical mating contact length (0.230"), matching the original specification precisely. The 0879142616 is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status with substantial inventory availability (3245 units). The tin contact finish on both mating and post surfaces aligns with the original tin-lead specification in terms of electrical performance, while the LCP glass-filled insulation material provides superior thermal and mechanical properties compared to unspecified insulation in the original part.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable Alternatives):

The Molex C-Grid 70280 series connectors (0010897260, 0010897261, 0010897262) provide functional substitution with minor dimensional variations. These parts feature slightly longer mating contact length (0.240" vs. 0.230") and shorter post length (0.107" vs. 0.120"), resulting in overall contact lengths within 0.003" of the original. All three variants are ROHS3 compliant with active status. Selection among these three depends on contact finish requirements: 0010897260 offers gold mating finish, 0010897261 provides tin mating finish, and 0010897262 combines gold mating with tin post finish. Inventory levels range from 982 to 1260 units.

Alternative Substitutes (Functional Compatibility with Dimensional Variance):

The Amphenol ICC 67997-726HLF (BERGSTIK® II series) and Samtec TSW-113-08-F-D represent functional alternatives with extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 130°C and -55°C to 125°C respectively, compared to the original -65°C to 105°C). The Amphenol part maintains identical contact lengths and current rating (3A) but features phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish. The Samtec part exhibits significantly longer post length (0.200" vs. 0.120"), resulting in overall contact length of 0.530", and uses PBT insulation material. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant (either RoHS or ROHS3), addressing the non-compliant status of the original TE Connectivity part. The Molex C-Grid 87914 series (0879142616) and Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897260, 0010897261, 0010897262) are REACH unaffected, while the original part and Amphenol alternative are REACH affected. All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0010897260 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-104352-3 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0010897260 maintains all critical mating parameters including 26 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.100" pitch, and square contact geometry. The mating contact length differs by 0.010" (0.240" vs. 0.230"), which falls within acceptable tolerance for standard through-hole PCB applications. The part is electrically and mechanically compatible for board-to-board interconnection. Verification of post length compatibility with specific PCB hole depth is required, as the post length is 0.107" compared to the original 0.120".

Q: What is the difference between the three Molex C-Grid 70280 variants (0010897260, 0010897261, 0010897262)?

A: All three parts share identical geometry and electrical specifications. The primary differences are contact finish materials: 0010897260 features gold mating finish (30.0µin thickness), 0010897261 provides tin mating finish (150.0µin thickness), and 0010897262 combines gold mating finish (15.0µin thickness) with tin post finish. Selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and solderability. Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance, while tin finishes offer better solderability in wave soldering processes.

Q: Why does the Samtec TSW-113-08-F-D have a significantly longer post length (0.200" vs. 0.120")?

A: The Samtec part is designed for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration or extended solder joint length. The 0.200" post length results in overall contact length of 0.530", compared to 0.440" for the original part. This design variation is suitable for thick PCB assemblies or applications requiring enhanced mechanical strength in the solder joint. Compatibility depends on PCB hole depth and design specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant. The Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897260, 0010897261, 0010897262), Molex C-Grid 70287 series (0702871109), and Molex C-Grid 87914 series (0879142616) are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC 67997-726HLF is RoHS compliant, and the Samtec TSW-113-08-F-D is ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity 1-104352-3 is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex C-Grid 87914 (0879142616) and C-Grid 70280 series?

A: The primary difference is contact length specification. The C-Grid 87914 (0879142616) maintains the original mating contact length of 0.230", while C-Grid 70280 variants feature 0.240" mating contact length. The C-Grid 87914 also features kinked pin termination option in addition to solder termination, providing flexibility for press-fit assembly. Both series use LCP glass-filled insulation and are ROHS3 compliant with active product status.

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 67997-726HLF be used in applications requiring the original 30VAC voltage rating?

A: The Amphenol ICC 67997-726HLF does not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. The original TE Connectivity part is rated for 30VAC. For applications with specific voltage requirements, the Molex C-Grid 87914 series (0879142616) is recommended as the primary substitute, as it maintains the original contact geometry and current rating (3A). Verification of voltage rating capability with the Amphenol manufacturer is required for voltage-critical applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: Packaging varies by manufacturer and part number. The Molex C-Grid 70280 series (0010897260, 0010897261, 0010897262) are supplied in bulk packaging. The Molex C-Grid 70287 series (0702871109) is bulk packaged. The Molex C-Grid 87914 series (0879142616) is supplied in tray packaging. The Amphenol ICC 67997-726HLF is bag packaged. The Samtec TSW-113-08-F-D is bag packaged. Packaging selection may impact handling, storage, and assembly process requirements.

Q: Is the Molex C-Grid 87914 (0879142616) the recommended first choice for replacement?

A: The Molex C-Grid 87914 (0879142616) is the recommended primary substitute based on dimensional compatibility. It maintains identical mating contact length (0.230"), matching the original specification precisely. The part is ROHS3 compliant, carries active product status, and offers the highest inventory availability (3245 units) among all substitutes. The tin contact finish on both mating and post surfaces provides electrical performance equivalent to the original tin-lead specification. For applications where exact dimensional matching is critical, this part is the optimal choice.
