Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 6-534236-7 is the primary substitute for the Molex 0015445134. This part maintains identical mating contact specifications (34 positions, 0.100" pitch, gold finish at 30.0µin), achieves ROHS3 compliance matching the main part, and offers the highest inventory availability at 1689 units. The AMPMODU Mod II series provides direct functional equivalence with bottom or top entry receptacle configuration.

TE Connectivity 1-534236-7 provides an alternative receptacle option with identical electrical interface parameters but carries RoHS non-compliance status. This part is suitable for applications where legacy component compatibility is required.

Amphenol ICC 76314-117LF (BergCon series) offers receptacle functionality with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The brass contact material and slightly reduced insulation height (0.335" versus 0.340") represent minor mechanical variations that do not affect electrical performance for standard board-to-board applications.

Sullins PPPC172LFBN-RC and PPTC172LFBN-RC are header-type connectors suitable for applications requiring female socket mating surfaces. Both achieve ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The PPPC172LFBN-RC maintains gold mating finish, while PPTC172LFBN-RC uses tin finish. These parts support higher current ratings (3A versus 2.5A) and lower voltage ratings (250V versus 500VAC) compared to the main part. Header configuration requires mating with male pin connectors rather than receptacle connectors.

Selection should prioritize ROHS3-compliant variants (6-534236-7, 76314-117LF, PPPC172LFBN-RC, PPTC172LFBN-RC) for new designs. Connector type selection (receptacle versus header) depends on the mating interface requirement of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE 1-534236-7 be used as a direct replacement for Molex 0015445134?

A: TE 1-534236-7 maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters (34 positions, 0.100" pitch, gold mating contacts, push-pull fastening, through-hole solder termination). The primary difference is RoHS non-compliance status. Direct substitution is possible for applications not subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and header connector types in this product family?

A: Receptacle connectors (Molex 0015445134, TE 1-534236-7, TE 6-534236-7, Amphenol 76314-117LF) feature female socket contacts and mate with male pin connectors. Header connectors (Sullins PPPC172LFBN-RC, PPTC172LFBN-RC) also feature female socket contacts but are designed for direct board-to-board mating with male pin headers. Selection depends on the mating connector type required in the application.

Q: Are the Sullins header connectors compatible with receptacle-based designs?

A: Sullins header connectors maintain the same 34-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and female socket contact type. They are compatible with male pin connectors but require different board layout and assembly approach compared to receptacle-based designs. Mechanical footprint and mating interface differ from receptacle connectors.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variations?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The main part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish. TE and Amphenol substitutes maintain this specification. Sullins PPPC172LFBN-RC uses flash gold finish (unspecified thickness), and PPTC172LFBN-RC uses tin finish. These variations are acceptable for standard applications but may affect performance in high-cycle mating environments.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: Sullins PPPC172LFBN-RC provides the highest inventory at 15986 units, followed by TE 6-534236-7 at 1689 units. Amphenol 76314-117LF and TE 1-534236-7 offer 913 and 836 units respectively.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: TE 6-534236-7, Amphenol 76314-117LF, Sullins PPPC172LFBN-RC, and Sullins PPTC172LFBN-RC are ROHS3 compliant. TE 1-534236-7 is RoHS non-compliant. The main part Molex 0015445134 is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Molex 0015445134 and Sullins connectors are supplied in tray packaging. TE Connectivity and Amphenol substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can the operating temperature range differences affect substitution decisions?

A: The main part operates from -40°C to 125°C. TE substitutes operate from -65°C to 105°C, and Sullins connectors operate from -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring the full -40°C to 125°C range, the main part or TE 6-534236-7 (with reduced upper limit of 105°C) should be evaluated against specific application requirements.
