Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• 8 positions with 2-row configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Male pin contact type
• Surface mount termination via solder
• Gold contact finish on mating surfaces

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Surface mount mounting type
• Unshrouded connector design
• Board-to-board or cable connection style
• Push-pull fastening mechanism

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Active product status

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct header equivalents (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series) and alternative connector technology (Mill-Max spring piston connectors).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Header Equivalents (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® Series)

The Amphenol ICC 95278-101-08LF, 95278-101A08LF, and 95278-401A08LF connectors provide direct functional equivalence to the TE Connectivity 5-147279-7. All three parts maintain identical electrical interface specifications: 8 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount solder termination, and unshrouded design.

The 95278-101A08LF and 95278-401A08LF are packaged in Tape & Reel format, matching the original part's packaging specification. The 95278-101-08LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. All three variants are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and Active product status.

Contact finish differences exist among the Amphenol ICC variants: 95278-101-08LF and 95278-101A08LF feature gold mating surfaces with GXT™ technology, while 95278-401A08LF utilizes tin mating surfaces. The original TE Connectivity part specifies gold mating contact finish. Selection between these variants depends on application requirements for contact finish material and thickness specifications.

Alternative Connector Technology (Mill-Max Spring Piston Series)

The Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 and 814-22-008-30-006101 connectors represent an alternative connector technology classification (piston-type) while maintaining the same electrical interface parameters: 8 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, and surface mount mounting. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and Active product status.

These piston connectors are supplied in Tube packaging rather than Tape & Reel format. Contact finish specifications differ from the original part: Mill-Max variants feature 20.0µin (0.51µm) gold finish thickness compared to the TE Connectivity part's 30.0µin (0.76µm) specification.

Selection Criteria

For direct replacement requiring identical connector technology and packaging format, the Amphenol ICC 95278-101A08LF or 95278-401A08LF are appropriate selections. The 95278-101A08LF maintains gold mating contact finish matching the original specification, while 95278-401A08LF provides tin mating surfaces for alternative application requirements.

For applications where connector technology variation is acceptable and Tube packaging is suitable, the Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 or 814-22-008-30-006101 provide functional equivalence with alternative piston contact technology.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 and 814-22-008-30-006101 piston connectors be used as direct replacements for the TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 header connector?

A: The Mill-Max piston connectors maintain electrical interface compatibility through identical position count (8), row configuration (2), pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), and surface mount termination. However, these represent a different connector technology classification (piston versus header). Mechanical compatibility depends on the mating connector design. If the application utilizes a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch header socket, the piston connectors provide functional equivalence. If the application requires a specific header connector interface, direct header equivalents from Amphenol ICC are recommended.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC 95278-101-08LF, 95278-101A08LF, and 95278-401A08LF?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and contact finish specification. The 95278-101-08LF is supplied in Bulk packaging, while 95278-101A08LF and 95278-401A08LF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The 95278-101-08LF and 95278-101A08LF feature gold mating contact finish with GXT™ technology at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, matching the original TE Connectivity part specification. The 95278-401A08LF utilizes tin mating contact finish at 78.7µin (2.00µm) thickness. Selection depends on packaging requirements and contact finish material specifications for the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 is ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC variants are RoHS compliant. The Mill-Max variants are ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts, including the original TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 and all substitute options, carry this MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity considerations in component selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Tube, or Bulk) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by manufacturing process requirements, inventory management, and automated assembly equipment compatibility. The TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Amphenol ICC 95278-101A08LF and 95278-401A08LF maintain this format.

The Amphenol ICC variants (95278-101-08LF, 95278-101A08LF, 95278-401A08LF) utilize Phosphor Bronze contact material. Both material compositions are suitable for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch rectangular connector applications. Material selection does not affect electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between the original part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 specifies Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material. The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants specify Thermoplastic insulation material. The Mill-Max variants do not specify insulation material in the provided parameters. Both LCP and Thermoplastic materials are suitable for surface mount rectangular connector applications. Insulation material differences do not affect electrical interface compatibility for standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-147279-7 does not specify a current rating in the provided parameters. The Amphenol ICC variants (95278-101-08LF, 95278-101A08LF, 95278-401A08LF) specify 3A per contact current rating. The Mill-Max variants do not specify current rating in the provided parameters.
