Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status with current inventory availability. Each substitute part carries compliance certifications aligned with the main part:

TE Connectivity 826953-4: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated. Operating temperature range -65°C to 105°C with 5A current rating.

3M 929667-02-04-I: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated. Operating temperature range -40°C to 105°C with 2.5A current rating. Insulation material includes glass-filled polyester in addition to PBT.

Samtec TSW-104-08-F-D-RA: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated. Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C. Contact material is phosphor bronze with gold mating finish.

Samtec TSW-104-22-G-D-RA: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated. Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C. Contact material is phosphor bronze with gold finish on both mating and post surfaces.

All parts are suitable for applications requiring rectangular connector headers with 8-position, 2-row configuration at 2.54mm pitch. Selection among substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding contact post length, operating temperature range, and current rating specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the core compatibility requirements for substituting the 826953-4?

A: Substitute parts must maintain 8 positions in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. All identified substitutes meet these requirements.

Q: How do contact length specifications affect substitution?

A: Contact length variations exist among substitute parts. The main part 826953-4 has 0.126" post length, while substitutes range from 0.090" to 0.405". Contact length affects board-to-board spacing and mating depth. Application PCB design must accommodate the specific contact length of the selected part.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences?

A: The main part uses tin finish on mating contacts, while all substitutes use gold finish. Gold provides enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Both finishes are suitable for standard applications; gold finish offers superior performance in high-reliability or corrosive environments.

Q: Are there current rating differences among the parts?

A: The main part 826953-4 is rated for 5A. The 3M 929667-02-04-I is rated for 2.5A. The Samtec TSW series parts do not specify current ratings. Applications requiring 5A continuous current should use the main part or confirm current capacity with the substitute manufacturer.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The main part operates from -65°C to 105°C. The 3M substitute operates from -40°C to 105°C. Both Samtec substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C should use the main part or Samtec alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant are equivalent designations for current regulatory requirements. All parts meet hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can the 3M 929667-02-04-I be used as a direct replacement?

A: The 3M part meets all core mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria. However, the lower current rating (2.5A versus 5A) and narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -65°C to 105°C) may limit suitability for specific applications. Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: What distinguishes the two Samtec TSW options?

A: Both TSW-104-08-F-D-RA and TSW-104-22-G-D-RA share identical pitch, position count, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is contact post length: 0.090" versus 0.190". Selection depends on required board-to-board spacing and mating depth in the application.

Q: Are all parts suitable for board-to-board and cable applications?

A: The main part 826953-4 and both Samtec substitutes are rated for board-to-board or cable applications. The 3M 929667-02-04-I is rated for board-to-board applications only. Cable applications require the main part or Samtec alternatives.

Q: What packaging format is used for all parts?

A: All parts are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for manufacturing and assembly operations without special handling requirements beyond standard moisture sensitivity level precautions.
