Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU Mod II series is determined by strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 26
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch spacing (mating): 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing (mating): 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact length (mating): 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Contact length (post): 0.120" (3.05mm)
• Insulation height: 0.238" (6.05mm)
• Current rating: 3A
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 6-146310-3 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences exist only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tray), contact finish material on the post (Tin-Lead versus Tin), insulation material composition (Thermoplastic versus Thermoplastic, Glass Filled), and regulatory compliance status (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-104353-3 and 6-146310-3 are Active product status connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU Mod II series and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications requiring 26-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch headers with right-angle through-hole mounting.

Selection based on compliance requirements:

The 6-146310-3 substitute part is ROHS3 Compliant, making it the appropriate selection for applications subject to Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations. The main part 1-104353-3 is RoHS non-compliant and is suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

Selection based on packaging:

The 1-104353-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 6-146310-3 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements, handling procedures, and inventory management protocols.

Selection based on post contact finish:

The 1-104353-3 features Tin-Lead post contact finish, while the 6-146310-3 features Tin post contact finish. Both maintain equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability. The Tin finish in 6-146310-3 aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Selection based on insulation material:

The 1-104353-3 uses Thermoplastic insulation, while the 6-146310-3 uses Thermoplastic, Glass Filled insulation. Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. Selection depends on mechanical stress and thermal environment requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (3A current, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature), contact geometry, and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-104353-3 and 6-146310-3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 3A current rating, 30VAC voltage rating (1-104353-3) or unspecified voltage rating (6-146310-3), operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, and contact material composition. The mating contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness) is identical on both parts.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The 1-104353-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 6-146310-3 is supplied in Tray packaging. Bulk packaging typically involves loose components in a container, while Tray packaging provides organized, compartmentalized storage. Selection depends on assembly line automation capabilities and handling requirements.

Q: Can I use the 6-146310-3 as a direct replacement for the 1-104353-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 6-146310-3 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the 1-104353-3. All critical parameters including position count (26), row configuration (2 rows), pitch spacing (0.100"), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), and contact dimensions are identical. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in PCB designs and cable assemblies.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 1-104353-3 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6-146310-3 is ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is a regulatory requirement in many jurisdictions for electrical and electronic equipment. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the 6-146310-3. Applications without RoHS requirements may use either part.

Q: How do the insulation materials differ between these connectors?

A: The 1-104353-3 uses Thermoplastic insulation, while the 6-146310-3 uses Thermoplastic, Glass Filled insulation. Glass-filled thermoplastic provides improved mechanical rigidity, higher temperature stability, and enhanced dimensional stability compared to unfilled thermoplastic. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference in post contact finish?

A: The 1-104353-3 features Tin-Lead post contact finish (100.0µin thickness), while the 6-146310-3 features Tin post contact finish (100.0µin thickness). Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability and electrical performance. Tin finish in the 6-146310-3 aligns with lead-free manufacturing and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same current and voltage applications?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A current. The 1-104353-3 specifies 30VAC voltage rating. The 6-146310-3 does not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. For applications requiring voltage rating confirmation, the 1-104353-3 documentation should be consulted. Both parts maintain identical contact material (Copper Alloy) and mating contact finish (Gold), ensuring equivalent electrical performance.

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

A: Both the 1-104353-3 and 6-146310-3 have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
