Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-104353-5 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type classification (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (30 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Insulation material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Termination method compatibility (Solder termination present in all substitutes)
• Contact finish type (Gold mating surface)
• Operating temperature range overlap
• Current and voltage rating sufficiency

The substitute parts listed below satisfy all primary matching criteria and maintain functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0901220775 (C-Grid III 90122 Series)

The Molex 0901220775 is an active product offering full dimensional and functional compatibility with the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-104353-5. This substitute maintains identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. The Molex component achieves ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and procurement cycles. Contact length specifications differ slightly (0.266" mating vs. 0.230" on the original), which may require PCB footprint verification. The polyester glass-filled insulation material provides enhanced thermal stability compared to the thermoplastic base material of the original part. Current and voltage ratings are not specified for this component; applications requiring the 3A/30VAC specification of the original part should be evaluated against actual load requirements.

3M 2330-5121-TG (2300 Series)

The 3M 2330-5121-TG is an active product providing direct dimensional and functional equivalence to the TE Connectivity 1-104353-5. This substitute maintains identical mating pitch, position count, row spacing, and right-angle through-hole mounting. Contact length specifications match the original part exactly (0.230" mating contact length), minimizing PCB footprint modification requirements. The 3M component specifies 3A current rating and operates across -55°C to 105°C, providing sufficient overlap with the original operating temperature range. The thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material offers improved thermal characteristics. This part retains RoHS non-compliant status, matching the regulatory classification of the original component. Tin-lead post finish matches the original specification.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations

Selection between active substitutes should account for regulatory requirements of the target application. The Molex 0901220775 provides ROHS3 compliance for applications requiring modern environmental standards. The 3M 2330-5121-TG maintains RoHS non-compliant status, suitable for applications where the original part's regulatory classification must be preserved. Both substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), matching the original part's environmental specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0901220775 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-104353-5 in existing PCB designs?

A: The Molex 0901220775 maintains identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (through-hole right-angle). However, the mating contact length differs (0.266" vs. 0.230"), which may affect PCB pad depth and mating interface geometry. PCB footprint verification is required before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 3M 2330-5121-TG and Molex 0901220775 substitutes?

A: Both parts provide functional equivalence to the original TE Connectivity component. The 3M part matches the original contact length specification (0.230") exactly, potentially reducing PCB redesign requirements. The Molex part achieves ROHS3 compliance, while the 3M part maintains RoHS non-compliant status matching the original. Contact material differs (Copper Alloy in 3M vs. Brass in Molex), and insulation material composition varies (Thermoplastic Glass Filled vs. Polyester Glass Filled).

Q: Are the electrical ratings of the substitute parts equivalent to the original TE Connectivity 1-104353-5?

A: The 3M 2330-5121-TG specifies 3A current rating, matching the original part. The Molex 0901220775 does not provide current or voltage specifications in available documentation. Applications requiring the 30VAC / 3A specification of the original part should confirm that substitute part electrical performance meets circuit requirements through manufacturer datasheets or application notes.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences between these parts?

A: All three parts specify gold mating contact finish for signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Post finish differs: the original TE Connectivity and 3M parts use Tin-Lead (100.0µin / 2.54µm thickness), while the Molex part uses Tin (118.1µin / 3.00µm thickness). These finishes are compatible with standard PCB solder processes. The Tin-Lead finish of the original and 3M parts may be subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions; the Molex Tin finish provides an alternative for RoHS-compliant applications.

Q: How do the insulation materials affect part selection?

A: The original TE Connectivity part uses thermoplastic insulation. Both substitute parts incorporate glass-filled insulation materials (Polyester Glass Filled for Molex, Thermoplastic Glass Filled for 3M), providing enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength. All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Glass-filled materials may exhibit different dimensional stability and thermal expansion characteristics; applications subject to thermal cycling should evaluate material properties against specific environmental requirements.

Q: What is the impact of the Molex part's ROHS3 compliance on system design?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the Molex 0901220775 meets current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electrical and electronic equipment in regulated markets. This classification is advantageous for new product designs, international distribution, and long-term procurement sustainability. The TE Connectivity original and 3M substitute retain RoHS non-compliant status, suitable for applications where regulatory classification must match the original component or where legacy system requirements preclude ROHS3-compliant alternatives.

Q: Are there any mechanical considerations for PCB mounting when substituting these parts?

A: All three parts feature identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and through-hole right-angle mounting configuration. Contact post length varies slightly (0.120" original vs. 0.114" Molex vs. 0.110" 3M), which may affect solder joint geometry and PCB pad design. Insulation height specifications are comparable (0.238" to 0.242"), with minimal impact on board-level clearance. PCB footprint verification is recommended, particularly for the Molex substitute with longer mating contact length (0.266" vs. 0.230").
