• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (both parts)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (both parts)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (both parts)
• Termination: Solder (both parts)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (both parts)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (both parts)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin (both parts)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (both parts)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (both parts)

The substitute part maintains dimensional compatibility within acceptable engineering tolerances and preserves all functional characteristics required for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-102975-4 is an equivalent substitute for the Molex 0010894083 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (8 positions in 2 rows), contact configuration (male pin, square shape), and termination method (solder, through-hole, right-angle mounting).

Both parts carry equivalent compliance certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. The HTSUS and ECCN classifications are identical, supporting regulatory and trade compliance requirements.

The substitute part provides documented operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A), specifications not explicitly provided for the primary part. Contact finish specifications are equivalent (gold mating surface, tin post finish) with minor variations in thickness that remain within acceptable engineering tolerances.

The primary difference is insulation material composition: the Molex part uses polyester glass-filled material, while the TE Connectivity substitute uses thermoplastic material. Both materials achieve the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring equivalent safety performance in target applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether the TE Connectivity 5-102975-4 can replace the Molex 0010894083?

A: Substitution is based on matching critical parameters: 8-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, male pin contact type, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and identical contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post). Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. Contact length mating differs by 0.002" (0.05mm), and insulation height differs by 0.018" (0.45mm). These variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. Post contact finish thickness differs by 25.2µin (0.64µm), which remains within acceptable plating thickness tolerances.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The Molex 0010894083 uses polyester glass-filled insulation, while the TE Connectivity 5-102975-4 uses thermoplastic insulation. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection should be evaluated based on specific application requirements regarding chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and environmental exposure.

Q: Do both connectors have the same compliance status?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical HTSUS (8536.69.4040) and ECCN (EAR99) classifications. The Molex part specifies ROHS3 compliance, while the TE Connectivity part specifies general RoHS compliance. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Molex 0010894083 is supplied in tube packaging, while the TE Connectivity 5-102975-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality but may influence inventory management, handling procedures, and cost considerations.

Q: Are operating temperature and current ratings specified for both parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-102975-4 provides documented specifications: operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C and current rating of 3A. The Molex 0010894083 does not provide these specifications in available documentation. Applications requiring specific temperature or current performance should reference the TE Connectivity part specifications or obtain detailed documentation from Molex.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the primary part specifications are met. The matching pitch spacing, position count, contact configuration, and termination method ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. Design validation should confirm that any minor dimensional variations and material differences do not conflict with specific application constraints.
