• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening type: Latch Holder
• Contact shape: Square
• Contact finish - mating: Gold or Gold, GXT™
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Features: Board Guide, Ground Pin
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 78098-104LF meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 78098-104LF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 78098-107. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications within the LATCH-N-LOK™ series, ensuring direct compatibility in board-to-cable/wire applications.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 78098-107 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 78098-104LF is an active product with RoHS compliance certification. The 78098-104LF also provides specified electrical ratings of 2.5A at 250VDC, whereas the original part does not document these parameters.

For new designs and ongoing system support, the 78098-104LF is the appropriate selection. The substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering improved regulatory compliance and active product support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 78098-107 and 78098-104LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 12-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, and latch holder fastening. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 78098-107 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 78098-104LF is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a functional compatibility factor. The 78098-104LF meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for applications with regulatory compliance mandates. Both parts are functionally equivalent in circuit operation.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: The 78098-107 does not specify current or voltage ratings in available documentation. The 78098-104LF is rated for 2.5A at 250VDC. These ratings apply to the connector's electrical capacity and should be verified against application requirements.

Q: Can I use the 78098-104LF as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 78098-104LF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains full compatibility with existing board layouts and mating connectors designed for the 78098-107.
