• Matching position count (10 positions) and row configuration (1 row)
• Identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical mounting method (Through Hole)
• Matching shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Compatible fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Identical contact shape (Square)
• Overlapping operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C encompasses -40°C ~ 105°C)
• Matching material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compatible RoHS compliance status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0705450009 and TE Connectivity 5-103669-9 maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The TE Connectivity substitute provides an extended operating temperature range (-65°C vs. -40°C minimum), which offers additional thermal margin for applications requiring lower temperature operation. Both parts carry equivalent RoHS compliance certifications and identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and specific application temperature requirements within the stated operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-103669-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0705450009?

A: Yes.
