Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 (Primary Part)

The primary part maintains active product status with RoHS compliance certification. This connector is suitable for applications requiring full RoHS compliance and operates across the extended temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The 30VAC voltage rating and 3A current capacity are specified parameters. Inventory availability is 805 pieces.

3M 2380-5121TG (Substitute Option)

The 3M 2380-5121TG provides mechanical and electrical equivalence with identical pitch, position count, and row configuration. This part carries RoHS non-compliant status and operates within -55°C to 105°C temperature range. The contact length for mating is reduced to 0.230" (5.84mm) compared to the primary part. Inventory availability is 1436 pieces. This substitute is applicable only in applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

Samtec Inc. HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA (Substitute Option)

The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA provides mechanical and electrical equivalence with identical pitch, position count, and row configuration. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and operates within an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The contact material is phosphor bronze rather than copper alloy, and the insulation material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP). The current rating varies by wire gauge. Moisture sensitivity level is not applicable. Inventory availability is 972 pieces. This substitute is applicable in applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and extended temperature operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a connector header can substitute for the TE Connectivity 7-104436-0?

A: Substitution validity is established through matching of critical parameters: 80 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, male pin contact type, through-hole right-angle mounting, unshrouded configuration, square contact shape, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. All identified substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in contact length between the primary part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 has a mating contact length of 0.318" (8.08mm). The 3M 2380-5121TG has a reduced mating contact length of 0.230" (5.84mm), while the Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA has a mating contact length of 0.320" (8.13mm). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance differences among these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 is RoHS Compliant. The 3M 2380-5121TG is RoHS non-compliant and cannot be used in applications requiring RoHS certification. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA is ROHS3 compliant and is suitable for applications requiring current RoHS3 standards.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges differ?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 operates from -65°C to 105°C. The 3M 2380-5121TG operates from -55°C to 105°C, providing a reduced lower temperature limit. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA operates from -55°C to 125°C, providing an extended upper temperature limit.

Q: What contact material differences exist?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 and 3M 2380-5121TG use copper alloy contacts. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA uses phosphor bronze contacts, which provide enhanced spring characteristics and durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are there insulation material differences?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 uses thermoplastic insulation. The 3M 2380-5121TG uses thermoplastic with glass filler for enhanced mechanical properties. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP), which provides superior dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

Q: What is the significance of moisture sensitivity level (MSL) ratings?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 and 3M 2380-5121TG both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating the part does not require moisture sensitivity management.

Q: Can the 3M 2380-5121TG be used as a direct replacement in all applications?

A: The 3M 2380-5121TG is mechanically and electrically equivalent for standard applications. However, its RoHS non-compliant status restricts use to applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. The reduced mating contact length may affect performance in applications requiring maximum contact engagement depth.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA operates to 125°C, providing the highest upper temperature limit among the three options. This part is suitable for applications requiring operation beyond 105°C.

Q: Are voltage and current ratings equivalent across all three parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-104436-0 specifies 30VAC voltage rating and 3A current rating. The 3M 2380-5121TG specifies 3A current rating with voltage rating not specified. The Samtec HTSW-140-25-F-D-RA specifies current rating varies by wire gauge with voltage rating not specified. Applications requiring the specified 30VAC rating should use the primary TE Connectivity part.
