Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 120674-1 and the identified equivalent 5120674-1 is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same connector configuration, position count, pitch, mounting method, and performance ratings. The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance status. Substitution is valid when the following parameters match:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins and Blades; Dual Beam, Center)
• Position count and arrangement (60 positions, 6 rows × 10 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Electrical ratings (1.15A current, 250V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 120674-1 and 5120674-1 are functionally equivalent for PCB backplane connector applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

120674-1 is appropriate for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material sourcing is permissible. This part maintains active production status.

5120674-1 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material sourcing. This substitute provides enhanced regulatory alignment for markets with strict environmental and material restriction requirements. The tube packaging format may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Both parts operate identically across all electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters. Selection should be driven by regulatory requirements, supply chain constraints, and packaging specifications for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5120674-1 be used as a direct replacement for 120674-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

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

A: The 120674-1 packaging specification is not detailed in the provided data. The 5120674-1 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging differences may affect order quantities, storage requirements, and handling procedures but do not impact component performance.

Q: Why does 5120674-1 have different RoHS and REACH status?

A: The 5120674-1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while 120674-1 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. These differences reflect material sourcing and manufacturing process variations. Selection should align with regulatory requirements applicable to the end product and target markets.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current rating (1.15A), voltage rating (250V), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and contact finish specifications (gold plating, 30.0µin thickness).

Q: What is the inventory availability for each part?

A: The 120674-1 has 814 pieces in stock. The 5120674-1 has 5271 pieces in stock. Inventory levels should be verified at the time of procurement.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range. Interchangeability in high-reliability applications depends on specific regulatory and compliance requirements of the end application. The ROHS3 compliance of 5120674-1 may be required for certain markets or applications.
