Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 78299-510 is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Style: Board to Board (or Board to Board or Cable)
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 826634-5 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. Both are unshrouded headers with square male pins rated UL94 V-0, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 78299-510 and 826634-5 are active production parts with identical core mechanical and electrical specifications for mating interface compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance: The 826634-5 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 78299-510 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must use the 826634-5.

Product Status: Both parts maintain active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Certification Alignment: Both connectors carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and EAR99 export classification, meeting equivalent safety and regulatory standards.

Mechanical Tolerance Variations: Minor dimensional differences exist in contact length and insulation height between the two parts. The 826634-5 features slightly longer mating contact length (0.264" vs. 0.230") and greater insulation height (0.219" vs. 0.190"). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for standard board-to-board applications but should be evaluated in space-constrained designs.

Material Composition: The 78299-510 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 826634-5 uses brass contacts with tin post finish. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance for standard signal and power applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 826634-5 directly replace the 78299-510 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 826634-5 is mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting orientation (through-hole, right-angle). Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height do not affect standard PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (826634-5 is ROHS3 compliant; 78299-510 is non-compliant), contact material composition (brass vs. phosphor bronze), and minor dimensional variations in mating contact length and insulation height. Both maintain equivalent electrical performance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Are there any applications where one part is preferred over the other?

A: Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use the 826634-5. For space-constrained designs, the 78299-510's smaller insulation height (0.190" vs. 0.219") may be advantageous. Both parts are suitable for standard signal and power distribution in board-to-board interconnect applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 78299-510 has 968 units in stock. The 826634-5 has 1560 units in stock. Both parts are actively manufactured and available through standard distribution channels.

Q: Do these connectors support cable-to-board applications?

A: The 78299-510 is specified for board-to-board style applications. The 826634-5 supports both board-to-board and cable-to-board configurations due to its breakaway header design, providing greater application flexibility.
