Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection among equivalent parts is determined by specific application requirements and design constraints.

TE Connectivity 3-104349-0: Primary specification with tin-plated mating contacts, copper alloy contact material, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Supports both press-fit and solder termination methods. Suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance and dual termination capability.

Molex 0022286060 (KK254 Series): Tin-plated mating contacts with extended contact length (0.361" mating length). Polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation. Suitable for applications where deeper mating contact engagement is required. Automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications are documented.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary criteria for substituting the TE Connectivity 3-104349-0?

A: The primary substitution criteria include 6-position, single-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, male pin contacts, through-hole right-angle mounting, unshrouded design, square contact shape, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, black insulation color, and RoHS compliance. All identified substitute parts meet these core requirements.

Q: How do contact finish options affect substitution compatibility?

A: Contact finish (tin or gold plating) affects corrosion resistance and contact reliability but does not prevent mechanical or electrical substitution. Tin-plated contacts (3-104349-0, 0022286060, 0901210126) provide standard performance. Gold-plated contacts (0901210766, A2-6PA-2.54DS(71)) offer enhanced corrosion resistance and are suitable for applications requiring superior contact reliability or exposure to corrosive environments.

Q: What is the significance of contact length variations among substitute parts?

A: Contact length variations (mating contact length ranging from 0.230" to 0.361") affect the depth of engagement with mating connectors. The 3-104349-0 features 0.230" mating contact length. Substitute parts with longer mating contacts (0022286060 at 0.361") provide deeper engagement, while parts with similar lengths (0901210126, 0901210766, A2-6PA-2.54DS(71) at 0.236" to 0.266") maintain comparable engagement characteristics.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences among substitute parts?

A: The 3-104349-0 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The Hirose A2-6PA-2.54DS(71) operates from -55°C to 85°C, representing a narrower temperature range. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 105°C range, the 3-104349-0 or Molex alternatives (which do not specify temperature limits) are appropriate selections.

Q: What insulation material options are available?

A: Insulation materials vary among substitutes: 3-104349-0 uses unspecified material, Molex 0022286060 uses polyamide nylon glass-filled, Molex 0901210126 and 0901210766 use polyester glass-filled, and Hirose A2-6PA-2.54DS(71) uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Material selection affects mechanical properties, temperature performance, and chemical resistance.

Q: How do termination method differences impact substitution?

A: The 3-104349-0 supports both press-fit and solder termination. All substitute parts support solder termination only. Applications requiring press-fit termination capability must use the 3-104349-0 or verify alternative press-fit options.

Q: What is the inventory availability for each part?

A: TE Connectivity 3-104349-0 has 717 pieces in stock. Molex 0022286060 has 8,796 pieces, Molex 0901210126 has 18,510 pieces, Molex 0901210766 has 16,501 pieces, and Hirose A2-6PA-2.54DS(71) has 907 pieces in stock. Inventory levels support supply chain planning and lead time considerations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3-104349-0 is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current RoHS Directive requirements. All parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
