Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0901220924 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions and rows: 8 positions, 2 rows
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening mechanism: Push-Pull
• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation material flammability: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance status

The identified substitute parts, TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-103326-4 and 5-103330-4, meet all critical substitution criteria. Both parts are from the AMPMODU Mod II series and maintain full compatibility with the original Molex connector in terms of mating interface, mounting footprint, and electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations. The Molex 0901220924 and TE Connectivity 5-103326-4 both feature gold-plated mating contacts, while the 5-103330-4 uses tin plating on mating surfaces. The TE Connectivity substitutes provide specified operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 105°C) and current ratings (3A), whereas the Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data. Both TE Connectivity parts use thermoplastic insulation material compared to the polyester glass-filled insulation of the Molex connector. Contact material differs between the Molex brass contacts and the copper alloy contacts in the TE Connectivity parts. All three connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 5-103326-4 and 5-103330-4 fully interchangeable with the Molex 0901220924?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts are mechanically and electrically compatible substitutes. They share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (8), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). All three connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the difference between the two TE Connectivity substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is the contact finish on the mating surface. The 5-103326-4 features gold-plated mating contacts, matching the Molex connector, while the 5-103330-4 uses tin-plated mating contacts. Both parts share identical insulation material (thermoplastic), contact material (copper alloy), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and current rating (3A).

Q: Does the change in insulation material from polyester glass-filled to thermoplastic affect compatibility?

A: The insulation material change does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The thermoplastic insulation in the TE Connectivity parts provides equivalent performance for the specified applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Molex 0901220924 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Both TE Connectivity substitute parts are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Do all three connectors comply with RoHS regulations?

A: Yes. The Molex 0901220924 is ROHS3 compliant, and both TE Connectivity parts are RoHS compliant. All three connectors are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
