Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 69904-004 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (16 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact geometry (Square)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 69904-004LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in applications requiring the 69904-004. The primary distinction is product status: 69904-004LF is active and RoHS compliant, whereas 69904-004 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 69904-004LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 69904-004. Selection of 69904-004LF is appropriate for new designs and production transitions due to:

• Identical mechanical interface and mating specifications
• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
• REACH affected status, indicating compliance with chemical substance regulations
• Equivalent electrical ratings (2.5A at 250VDC) and contact specifications
• Tin finish on post contacts in the substitute part, compared to unspecified finish in the main part

For applications currently using 69904-004, direct substitution with 69904-004LF requires no circuit board redesign or connector housing modifications.
