Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0522071985 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 19
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm)
• Mounting type: Surface mount, right angle
• Termination: Solder
• Locking feature: Slide lock
• Features: Zero insertion force (ZIF), solder retention
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 125V
• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 1A
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -30°C to 85°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 compliant

Identified Substitutes:

1. TE Connectivity 1-84953-9 – Top-contact configuration matching the Molex 0522071985 contact orientation
2. TE Connectivity 1-84952-9 – Bottom-contact configuration for applications requiring inverted contact placement

Both TE Connectivity parts maintain the 19-position, 1.00mm pitch architecture with surface mount right-angle mounting and slide lock retention required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-84953-9 (Top Contact Configuration)

This part provides direct functional equivalence to the Molex 0522071985. Both connectors feature top-mounted contacts with identical pitch, position count, and mounting orientation. The TE Connectivity part exceeds the voltage and temperature specifications of the original part while maintaining ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection of this substitute requires no circuit board redesign.

TE Connectivity 1-84952-9 (Bottom Contact Configuration)

This part matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but features bottom-mounted contacts instead of top-mounted contacts. This configuration difference requires circuit board layout modification to accommodate the inverted contact placement. The part maintains equivalent voltage, current, and temperature ratings with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when circuit design permits bottom-contact orientation.

Both TE Connectivity substitutes are active products with established supply availability and full compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 1-84953-9 be used as a direct replacement for Molex 0522071985?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical contact orientation (top-mounted), pitch (1.00mm), position count (19), mounting type (surface mount right angle), and locking mechanism (slide lock). The TE Connectivity part meets or exceeds all electrical specifications and maintains ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between TE Connectivity 1-84953-9 and 1-84952-9?

A: The primary difference is contact placement. The 1-84953-9 features top-mounted contacts matching the Molex 0522071985 configuration, while the 1-84952-9 features bottom-mounted contacts. This difference requires different circuit board layouts and cannot be interchanged without PCB redesign.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity substitutes compatible with existing cable assemblies designed for the Molex 0522071985?

A: Compatibility depends on contact orientation. The TE Connectivity 1-84953-9 (top contact) is compatible with cable assemblies designed for top-contact connectors. The 1-84952-9 (bottom contact) requires cable assemblies with bottom-contact configuration.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same voltage and temperature specifications?

A: The TE Connectivity substitutes exceed the original specifications. The Molex 0522071985 is rated for 125V and -30°C to 85°C operation, while both TE Connectivity parts are rated for 200V and -40°C to 85°C operation. This provides additional design margin for applications requiring extended temperature or voltage performance.

Q: Are all three connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0522071985 and both TE Connectivity substitutes (1-84953-9 and 1-84952-9) are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: All three connectors are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
