Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are Active products with current manufacturing support and regulatory compliance. Selection among equivalent parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

TE Connectivity 1-103648-9 (Primary Part): Maintains the original design specification with ROHS3 Compliant status and operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Thermoplastic insulation material provides baseline performance characteristics.

Molex 0050579320: Offers ROHS3 Compliant status matching the primary part. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which is narrower at the lower bound. Polyester glass-filled insulation provides enhanced mechanical properties. REACH Affected status requires verification for applications subject to REACH regulations.

Amphenol ICC 65039-017LF: Provides RoHS Compliant status with operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Polyphenylene modified insulation offers alternative material composition. REACH Affected status applies. This part is suitable for applications where the narrower low-temperature specification is acceptable.

Amphenol ICC 65240-020LF: Extends operating temperature range to -65°C to 125°C, providing superior thermal performance compared to the primary part. Blue color distinguishes this variant for visual identification. Thermoplastic glass-filled insulation combines material benefits. RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation apply. This part is recommended for applications requiring extended temperature operation or enhanced mechanical durability.

Selection should prioritize compliance requirements, operating temperature constraints, and insulation material compatibility with the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0050579320 be used as a direct replacement for TE Connectivity 1-103648-9?

A: Yes, the Molex 0050579320 is a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The operating temperature range of the Molex part is -40°C to 105°C, which is narrower at the lower temperature limit. Verify that your application does not require operation below -40°C before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC 65039-017LF and 65240-020LF?

A: Both Amphenol ICC parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are: (1) Color—65039-017LF is black, 65240-020LF is blue; (2) Operating temperature range—65039-017LF operates from -40°C to 105°C, while 65240-020LF extends to -65°C to 125°C; (3) Insulation material—65039-017LF uses polyphenylene modified, 65240-020LF uses thermoplastic glass-filled. Select based on thermal requirements and visual identification needs.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts listed—TE Connectivity 1-103648-9, Molex 0050579320, Amphenol ICC 65039-017LF, and Amphenol ICC 65240-020LF—are connector housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and must be compatible with the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification.

Q: What does RoHS3 Compliant versus RoHS Compliant mean for substitution purposes?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates compliance with the most recent RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU as amended. RoHS Compliant indicates compliance with earlier RoHS standards. Both designations confirm restriction of hazardous substances. For applications requiring the latest regulatory alignment, ROHS3 Compliant parts (TE Connectivity 1-103648-9 and Molex 0050579320) are preferred. Verify your specific regulatory requirements before selection.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC 65240-020LF in place of the TE Connectivity 1-103648-9 if my application requires operation at -65°C?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 65240-020LF maintains the -65°C lower temperature limit of the TE Connectivity part and extends the upper limit to 125°C. All other critical parameters—connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting type, and termination method—are identical. The blue color is the only visual distinction.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures, making them suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments without requiring dry-pack storage or baking procedures.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts listed—TE Connectivity 1-103648-9, Molex 0050579320, Amphenol ICC 65039-017LF, and Amphenol ICC 65240-020LF—are supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm specific quantity requirements and lead times with your supplier.
