TE Connectivity 1-104355-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-104355-0 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle mounted, with 20 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The AMPMODU Mod II series connector features through-hole solder termination, unshrouded design, and male pin contacts suitable for board-to-board or cable applications. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 6-103330-0

The 6-103330-0 is the direct active production equivalent from TE Connectivity. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the 1-104355-0 while offering active product status and improved supply chain availability. The 6-103330-0 is the preferred choice for direct replacement in existing designs.

Secondary Recommendation: Molex 0010894202

The Molex 0010894202 provides cross-manufacturer compatibility with ROHS3 compliance certification. This part is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required. The contact post length of 0.110" (2.79mm) differs slightly from the original specification and must be evaluated for PCB thickness compatibility.

Tertiary Recommendations: Sullins Connector Solutions PBC10 and PEC10 Series

Sullins parts offer multiple contact post length options to accommodate various PCB thicknesses and application requirements:

PBC10DBAN: 0.100" (2.54mm) post length, gold-plated mating contacts
PBC10DBBN: 0.200" (5.08mm) post length, gold-plated mating contacts
PBC10DBDN: 0.400" (10.16mm) post length, gold-plated mating contacts
PEC10DBAN: 0.100" (2.54mm) post length, tin-plated mating contacts
PEC10DBBN: 0.200" (5.08mm) post length, tin-plated mating contacts
PEC10DBCN: 0.300" (7.62mm) post length, tin-plated mating contacts
PEC10DBEN: 0.500" (12.70mm) post length, tin-plated mating contacts

All Sullins variants feature ROHS3 compliance, phosphor bronze contacts, and extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). Selection among Sullins variants depends on required contact post length for specific PCB applications.

Parts marked as "Discontinued at DiGi Electronics" (PBC10DBDN, PEC10DBDN) remain available through alternative distribution channels but should not be selected for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6-103330-0 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 1-104355-0?

A: Yes. The 6-103330-0 maintains identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact length (0.230"), insulation height (0.238"), and all mechanical mounting parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish material (tin versus tin-lead) and active product status.

Q: What is the significance of contact post length variations in the Sullins parts?

A: Contact post length determines the depth to which the connector penetrates the PCB. The original 1-104355-0 specifies 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. Sullins variants range from 0.100" to 0.500" to accommodate different PCB thicknesses and application geometries. Selection must match the intended PCB thickness and mounting depth requirements.

Q: Are the Molex 0010894202 and Sullins parts electrically equivalent to the original?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same 20-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and push-pull fastening. Electrical performance is equivalent for standard applications. The Molex part features gold-plated mating contacts (15.0µin thickness) compared to the original tin-lead finish, which may provide enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments.

Q: What is the difference between PBC10 and PEC10 series from Sullins?

A: Both series are functionally equivalent 20-position right-angle headers. The primary distinction is contact finish: PBC10 series features gold-plated mating contacts, while PEC10 series features tin-plated mating contacts. Both use phosphor bronze contact material and PBT insulation. Selection depends on application requirements for contact finish properties.

Q: Why do some Sullins parts show "Discontinued at DiGi Electronics" status?

A: Parts marked as discontinued at DiGi Electronics (PBC10DBDN, PEC10DBDN) are no longer stocked by this specific distributor but may remain available through alternative channels. For new designs requiring assured long-term supply, select parts with "Active" product status.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting a substitute?

A: The original 1-104355-0 is RoHS non-compliant due to tin-lead contact finish. All recommended substitutes except the 6-103330-0 are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, Molex 0010894202 and all Sullins variants are suitable. The 6-103330-0 compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Can the 1-104355-0 be used interchangeably with the 6-103330-0 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, for applications where the original part is still available. However, the 6-103330-0 is the recommended choice for new production due to active status and improved supply availability. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for mating interface compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between the original and substitutes?

A: The original 1-104355-0 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The 6-103330-0 does not specify operating temperature. Sullins and Molex substitutes operate from -65°C to 125°C, providing extended high-temperature capability. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, Sullins or Molex parts are required.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues when substituting the Molex 0010894202?

A: The Molex 0010894202 maintains identical pitch and row spacing. The contact post length is 0.110" (2.79mm) compared to the original 0.120" (3.05mm), a difference of 0.010" (0.25mm). The insulation height is 0.220" (5.60mm) versus 0.238" (6.05mm). These dimensional variations must be evaluated for specific PCB thickness and mounting depth requirements.
