TE Connectivity
A form-fit compatible header from TE Connectivity, but with Tin-plated contacts instead of Gold.
Finding a substitute for the YXCON F136-1104S3CMUB2 4-pin header requires matching its 2.54mm pitch, straight mounting, and gold-plated contacts. Alternatives exist but may differ in plating or temperature range.
Form, fit, and pitch are standard and alternatives are available.
Downgrades in contact plating (Gold to Tin) and temperature range require application-specific review.
No direct drop-in replacement with identical specifications was found. All viable alternatives have downgrades in contact plating or temperature range that must be reviewed.
TE Connectivity 640456-4 offers the best form-fit match but requires accepting tin plating instead of gold.
Contact plating downgrade from Gold to Tin, impacting long-term reliability and contact resistance.
