Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0015922500 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Row Configuration: 100 positions, 2-row arrangement
• Connector Type & Style: Plug connector with center strip contacts
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact System: Gold plating for signal integrity and corrosion resistance
• Mechanical Features: Board lock functionality for secure mating
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1734100-0 meets all substitution criteria. While classified as a board-to-board connector variant, it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for position count, row configuration, termination method, and contact finish. Both parts operate within the same connector family standards and share compatible mating characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1734100-0 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0015922500?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 100 positions, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, center strip contacts, and gold plating. The TE Connectivity part is actively manufactured, addressing the obsolescence of the Molex component.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for this substitution?

A: Compatibility is determined by position count (100), row arrangement (2), connector type (plug), mounting method (through-hole), termination (solder), contact finish (gold), and board lock feature. The substitute part matches all these parameters.

Q: Does the board-to-board designation of the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: No. The board-to-board classification refers to the connector's intended application context, not its electrical or mechanical interface specifications. The mating characteristics and pin configuration remain identical to the Molex part.

Q: Are there compliance or environmental differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 ratings. No compliance or environmental restrictions differentiate these components.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1734100-0 is supplied in bag packaging.
