Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0010894202 rectangular connector header is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk for new production and long-term support. The Molex 0010894202 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Posture: The Molex 0010894202 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the TE Connectivity part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. This compliance advantage is significant for applications subject to environmental regulations and procurement restrictions.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting methodology (through-hole, right-angle). Contact geometry, material composition, and fastening mechanisms are equivalent. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for standard board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Termination Consideration: The TE Connectivity part supports both press-fit and solder termination, while the Molex part supports solder termination only. For applications requiring press-fit assembly, alternative solutions must be evaluated.

Electrical Performance: The TE Connectivity part specifies 3A current rating and 30VAC voltage rating. The Molex part does not provide explicit electrical ratings in the available data. Applications requiring confirmed electrical specifications should reference complete Molex technical documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0010894202 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0010894202 provides mechanical and functional equivalence for board-to-board and cable interconnection applications. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing, position count, row configuration, and mounting type. PCB footprints and mating interface geometry are compatible. However, applications requiring press-fit termination must note that the Molex part supports solder termination only.

Q: What are the key dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Contact length at mating interface differs by 0.010" (0.26mm), with the Molex part measuring 0.240" (6.10mm) versus the TE Connectivity part at 0.230" (5.84mm). Contact post length differs by 0.010" (0.26mm), with the Molex part at 0.110" (2.79mm) versus the TE Connectivity part at 0.120" (3.05mm). Insulation height differs by 0.018" (0.45mm), with the Molex part at 0.220" (5.60mm) versus the TE Connectivity part at 0.238" (6.05mm). These variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances for rectangular connector applications.

Q: What compliance advantages does the Molex part offer?

A: The Molex 0010894202 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to European Union environmental directives or customer procurement requirements restricting hazardous substances, the Molex part satisfies regulatory requirements without design modification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Molex 0010894202 is supplied in tube packaging. The TE Connectivity part packaging specification is not provided in the available data. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and assembly line integration procedures.

Q: What should be considered for applications requiring press-fit termination?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 supports both press-fit and solder termination options. The Molex 0010894202 supports solder termination only. Applications with existing press-fit assembly processes must either transition to solder termination methodology or identify alternative connector solutions that maintain press-fit capability.

Q: Are electrical performance specifications equivalent?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies 3A current rating and 30VAC voltage rating with operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The Molex part does not provide explicit electrical ratings in the available technical data. Applications with specific electrical performance requirements should reference complete Molex technical documentation or contact the manufacturer for detailed electrical specifications.

Q: What is the inventory availability status?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-104354-0 shows 782 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The Molex 0010894202 shows 2075 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Inventory levels may change based on current procurement activity and should be confirmed at time of purchase.
