Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 1-104809-1 and the equivalent part 6-104809-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. Both parts share identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Connector type, contact type, number of positions, number of rows, pitch spacing, mounting type, shrouding configuration, contact shape, current rating, operating temperature range, and material flammability rating are identical between the main part and substitute.

The primary distinction between these parts exists in the contact finish specification for the post termination. The main part 1-104809-1 specifies Tin-Lead contact finish on the post, while the substitute part 6-104809-1 specifies Tin contact finish on the post. Both finishes maintain the same contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and the same mating contact finish of Gold at 15.0µin (0.38µm).

An additional distinction exists in regulatory compliance status. The main part 1-104809-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute part 6-104809-1 is ROHS3 compliant. This difference is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 1-104809-1 and the substitute part 6-104809-1 are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector functionality, including pitch spacing, contact configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range.

The selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements. The main part 1-104809-1 is RoHS non-compliant and contains Tin-Lead contact finish on the post termination. The substitute part 6-104809-1 is ROHS3 compliant and contains Tin contact finish on the post termination.

For applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or where lead-free components are specified, the substitute part 6-104809-1 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance requirements, either part is functionally equivalent.

Both parts are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the parts 1-104809-1 and 6-104809-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including connector type, number of positions, pitch spacing, mounting type, shrouding configuration, contact dimensions, and insulation height. Physical installation and board layout compatibility are identical.
