Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TML-130-01-G-D is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Positions: 60
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Style: Board to Board

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Shrouding configuration (4-wall vs. 2-wall)
• Contact shape (Square vs. Circular)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull vs. Latch Holder)
• Insulation material composition
• Operating temperature range overlap
• Contact finish specifications

The substitute parts 104068-6 and 5-104068-6 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meet all primary matching criteria. Both are 60-position, 0.050" pitch headers with identical row spacing and through-hole solder termination. Secondary differences exist in shrouding design, contact geometry, and fastening type, which may affect mechanical fit and mating force characteristics in specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TML-130-01-G-D Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when 4-wall shrouding is required for enhanced EMI shielding or mechanical protection
• Preferred for applications requiring push-pull fastening mechanism
• Suitable for extended high-temperature operation up to 125°C
• Recommended when LCP insulation material is specified for superior chemical resistance
• ROHS3 compliance confirmed for regulated markets

104068-6 Selection Criteria:

• Alternative when 2-wall shrouding is acceptable
• Suitable for applications utilizing latch holder fastening
• Provides higher gold plating thickness (30.0µin vs. 10.0µin) for enhanced contact durability
• Supports board-to-board or cable applications with greater flexibility
• Specified voltage rating of 30VAC available for power distribution applications
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating provides additional safety certification

5-104068-6 Selection Criteria:

• Functionally equivalent to 104068-6 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications
• ROHS3 compliance confirmed, matching regulatory requirements of TML-130-01-G-D
• Highest inventory availability (1336 pieces) supports rapid procurement
• Recommended as primary substitute when supply continuity is critical
• Tin finish on post contacts (vs. tin-lead) aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards

All three parts share identical pitch, position count, row spacing, and through-hole solder termination, establishing mechanical and electrical interchangeability at the PCB interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 104068-6 or 5-104068-6 be used as direct replacements for TML-130-01-G-D in existing designs?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts match the critical mating parameters (0.050" pitch, 60 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" row spacing) and through-hole solder termination. However, differences in shrouding design (2-wall vs. 4-wall), fastening mechanism (latch holder vs. push-pull), and contact shape (circular vs. square) may affect mechanical fit and mating force. PCB footprint compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 104068-6 and 5-104068-6?

A: Both parts are functionally identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 5-104068-6 is ROHS3 compliant, while 104068-6 is not applicable. For regulated applications requiring RoHS certification, 5-104068-6 is the appropriate selection. Additionally, 5-104068-6 has higher inventory availability.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: TML-130-01-G-D operates from -55°C to 125°C, while both TE Connectivity substitutes operate from -65°C to 105°C. The TML-130-01-G-D provides higher maximum temperature capability (125°C vs. 105°C), making it preferable for high-temperature applications. The TE Connectivity parts offer lower minimum temperature (-65°C vs. -55°C) for extreme cold environments.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: TML-130-01-G-D is supplied in bulk packaging, while both 104068-6 and 5-104068-6 are supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging provides better component protection during storage and handling but may affect procurement quantities and logistics considerations.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: All three parts feature gold mating contact finish. However, TML-130-01-G-D has 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness, while both TE Connectivity parts have 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The thicker gold plating on TE Connectivity parts provides enhanced contact durability and corrosion resistance. Post contact finishes differ: TML-130-01-G-D uses gold flash, 104068-6 uses tin-lead, and 5-104068-6 uses tin.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, 5-104068-6 is recommended based on ROHS3 compliance, highest inventory availability, and modern tin finish specifications. For existing designs using TML-130-01-G-D, evaluate mechanical fit requirements before substitution due to shrouding and fastening differences.
