Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-146858-1 are identified based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Contact Type: Male Pin
Number of Rows: 1
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Contact Shape: Square
Current Rating: 3A
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm)

Secondary Considerations:

Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full Compliance):

The following parts are recommended as direct substitutes based on active product status and compliance certifications:

68000-100HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected. Operating temperature extends to 125°C. Suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance.
68000-200HLF: Active status, ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected. Maintains identical mating contact length and insulation specifications. Recommended for new designs requiring ROHS3 certification.
68001-200HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant. Contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm) provides increased board penetration depth compared to the main part. Suitable for applications with thicker PCB assemblies.
68001-400HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant. Tin finish on mating contact with extended post length. Operating temperature to 125°C.
68002-400HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant. Extended operating temperature to 130°C with 0.150" (3.81mm) contact post length. Suitable for high-temperature applications.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, REACH Affected):

68000-400HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant. REACH affected status requires compliance verification for regulated substance applications.
68001-100HLF: Active status, RoHS compliant. REACH affected status requires compliance verification.

68001-200H: Obsolete product status. RoHS non-compliant. Not suitable for new designs or long-term supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 5-146858-1?

A: The following parameters must match for functional substitution: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contact type, single row configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, square contact shape, 3A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. All listed substitute parts meet these criteria.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact post length?

A: Yes. Contact post length variations (0.095", 0.110", 0.120", or 0.150") do not affect mating interface compatibility. Post length selection depends on PCB thickness and assembly requirements. Longer posts provide greater board penetration; shorter posts suit thinner assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between the AMPMODU and BERGSTIK® II series?

A: Both series are rectangular connector headers with identical mating pitch and contact specifications. The primary differences are in insulation material (Thermoplastic vs. Liquid Crystal Polymer) and contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze). These material differences do not prevent functional substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed active substitute parts are RoHS compliant. The main part is ROHS3 compliant. For new designs, 68000-200HLF is specifically ROHS3 compliant. Parts with REACH affected status (68000-400HLF, 68001-100HLF, 68001-200HLF, 68001-400HLF, 68002-400HLF) require compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations.

Q: What is the difference between parts with gold and tin contact finishes?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and contact resistance characteristics. Gold-finished contacts (68000-100HLF, 68000-200HLF, 68001-100HLF, 68001-200HLF) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-finished contacts (68000-400HLF, 68001-400HLF, 68002-400HLF) are cost-effective for standard applications. Both finishes support the 3A current rating.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher operating temperature rating?

A: Yes. The main part operates to 105°C. All substitute parts operate to 125°C or 130°C, providing thermal margin for applications approaching the main part's temperature limit. Higher temperature ratings do not create compatibility issues.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The main part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. All active substitute parts are also available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, ensuring consistent handling and assembly compatibility.

Q: Is the 68001-200H part suitable for new designs?

A: No. The 68001-200H is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Use 68001-200HLF instead, which is active, RoHS compliant, and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: How do I select between multiple substitute options?

A: Selection depends on application requirements: (1) For ROHS3 compliance, use 68000-200HLF. (2) For extended temperature operation, use 68002-400HLF (to 130°C). (3) For thicker PCB assemblies, use parts with longer contact posts (68001-200HLF, 68001-400HLF, 68002-400HLF). (4) For corrosion-resistant applications, select gold-finished contacts. (5) For cost-optimized designs, select tin-finished contacts. All selections maintain functional equivalence with the main part.
