Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0532900510 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 5
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder
• Fastening Type: Detent Lock
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation material, contact length specifications, and style (Board to Board versus Board to Cable/Wire) are noted where they occur, as these may affect mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0532900580 is the primary direct substitute for the Molex 0532900510. Both parts share identical series designation (53290), insulation material (PBT glass-filled), contact dimensions, and mechanical specifications. The 0532900580 is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. This part maintains full compatibility with existing PCB designs and mating interfaces.

Molex 0532530570 is an alternative substitute from the Micro-Latch 53253 series. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but uses polyamide nylon insulation instead of PBT glass-filled material. The insulation height is reduced to 0.217" (5.51mm) compared to 0.236" (6.00mm) in the main part. This part is designated for Board to Cable/Wire applications, whereas the main part is Board to Board. The 0532530570 is active in production with high inventory availability.

TE Connectivity 292161-5 is a manufacturer-recommended substitute from the CT series. This part maintains the core 5-position, 2.00mm pitch header configuration with detent lock fastening. Notable differences include circular contact shape (versus square), increased contact length for mating (0.177" versus 0.130"), and polyamide PA66 nylon insulation. The part is rated for 125VAC operation and is designated for Board to Cable/Wire applications. This part is active in production.

All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, matching the compliance profile of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0532900580 be used as a direct replacement for the 0532900510?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the Molex 53290 series and share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (5), contact dimensions, insulation material (PBT glass-filled), and mechanical specifications. The 0532900580 is active in production, making it the recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the 0532530570 and the 0532900510?

A: The 0532530570 belongs to the Micro-Latch 53253 series and uses polyamide nylon insulation instead of PBT glass-filled material. The insulation height is 0.217" (5.51mm) versus 0.236" (6.00mm). The 0532530570 is configured for Board to Cable/Wire applications, while the 0532900510 is Board to Board. Both maintain the same pitch, position count, and fastening type.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 292161-5 be used in place of the Molex 0532900510?

A: The 292161-5 maintains the same pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (5), and fastening type (detent lock). However, it features a circular contact shape instead of square, increased mating contact length (0.177" versus 0.130"), and polyamide PA66 nylon insulation. It is configured for Board to Cable/Wire applications. Mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility must be verified for the specific application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0532900510, 0532530570, 0532900580, and TE Connectivity 292161-5 are all ROHS3 compliant.

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

A: The Molex 0532900510 and 0532900580 use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation. The Molex 0532530570 uses polyamide (PA) nylon insulation. The TE Connectivity 292161-5 uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 insulation. All three materials are UL94 V-0 rated.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: The Molex 0532530570 has the highest inventory with 89,262 pieces in stock. The TE Connectivity 292161-5 has 19,250 pieces. The Molex 0532900580 has 1,112 pieces.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same contact length specifications?

A: No. The Molex 0532900510 and 0532900580 have identical contact lengths (0.130" mating / 0.126" post). The Molex 0532530570 has a slightly longer post length (0.138" versus 0.126"). The TE Connectivity 292161-5 has a significantly longer mating contact length (0.177" versus 0.130").
