Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 2330-5121-TG is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-104355-5 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 3M 2330-5121-TG maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The 1-104355-5 is classified as obsolete, making the 3M alternative the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Electrical Specification Compliance: Both connectors maintain identical electrical ratings: 30-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 3A current capacity, and push-pull fastening. The operating temperature range of the 3M part (-55°C to 105°C) encompasses the critical upper limit of 105°C and supports the majority of applications requiring the original -65°C to 105°C range.

Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole, right-angle mounting, solder termination, and unshrouded design are identical between both parts. Minor dimensional variations in contact post length (0.120" versus 0.110") and insulation height (0.238" versus 0.242") fall within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect board-level compatibility or mating performance.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, and RoHS non-compliant status. Regulatory compliance profiles are equivalent.

Contact Finish Consideration: The 3M 2330-5121-TG features gold-plated mating contacts compared to the tin-lead finish of the original part. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in applications subject to environmental exposure or extended storage periods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 2330-5121-TG be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-104355-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3M 2330-5121-TG meets all critical electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The 30-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3A current rating, and through-hole right-angle mounting are identical. Minor dimensional variations in contact post length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerances and do not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish between the two parts?

A: The 1-104355-5 uses tin-lead mating contact finish, while the 3M 2330-5121-TG uses gold plating. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability, particularly in applications with extended storage, high humidity environments, or frequent mating cycles. This represents an improvement over the original specification.

Q: Are there any temperature range limitations when substituting the 3M part?

A: The 3M 2330-5121-TG operates from -55°C to 105°C, compared to the original -65°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring operation below -55°C would not be compatible with the 3M substitute. For applications within the -55°C to 105°C window, the substitute is fully qualified.

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

A: The 1-104355-5 does not specify insulation material in the provided data. The 3M 2330-5121-TG uses thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability compared to standard thermoplastic formulations.

Q: What is the impact of the different contact post lengths?

A: The 1-104355-5 has a 0.120" (3.05mm) contact post length, while the 3M 2330-5121-TG has 0.110" (2.79mm). This 0.010" (0.26mm) difference is within standard manufacturing tolerances for this connector class and does not affect solder joint formation, board-level spacing, or mating performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 1-104355-5 and the 3M 2330-5121-TG are classified as RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative connector solutions must be evaluated.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 3M 2330-5121-TG is currently available with 839 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The TE Connectivity 1-104355-5 has 655 pieces available but is classified as obsolete, making the 3M part the recommended selection for ongoing procurement.

Q: Are the fastening mechanisms identical between both connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors use push-pull fastening type, ensuring identical mating and unmating procedures. No design modifications are required for connector engagement or release operations.
