Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0443801010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (8p8c RJ45 Ethernet)
• Physical orientation (90° right-angle)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shielding design (Shielded with EMI finger)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze, Gold plated)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1827585-1 meets all these critical parameters and is classified as an active product, providing a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1827585-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0443801010. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The TE Connectivity part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and ongoing support requirements.

The housing material difference (Polyamide glass-filled versus Thermoplastic) does not affect functional compatibility, as both materials meet the specified operating temperature range and environmental requirements. The TE Connectivity component is available in higher inventory quantities (1209 units versus 789 units), supporting both immediate replacement needs and production scaling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1827585-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0443801010?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination type, shielding design, contact materials, and operating temperature specifications. The TE Connectivity part is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these two connectors?

A: The Molex 0443801010 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with glass filling, while the TE Connectivity 1827585-1 uses Thermoplastic. Both materials support the identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and meet all specified environmental and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0443801010 and TE Connectivity 1827585-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What packaging format is available for the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 1827585-1 is supplied in Tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling processes.

Q: Why is the Molex part listed as obsolete?

A: The Molex 0443801010 has reached end-of-life status. The TE Connectivity 1827585-1 provides functional equivalence and is actively manufactured, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing system support.
