• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Length - Mating: Minor variations acceptable within connector envelope constraints
• Contact Length - Post: Minor variations acceptable within solder joint requirements
• Insulation Height: Minor variations acceptable within PCB clearance constraints
• Contact Finish: Variations in plating material and thickness permitted based on application requirements
• Insulation Material: Variations permitted provided UL94 V-0 rating maintained
• Operating Temperature: Substitute must meet or exceed -65°C ~ 105°C range
• Current Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 3A specification
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 30VAC specification

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory matching parameters and maintain compatibility with the original connector footprint and electrical performance requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0010894226 (C-Grid 70216 Series)

The Molex 0010894226 is an active product with full dimensional and electrical compatibility to the TE Connectivity 1-104355-1. This substitute maintains identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. The connector achieves ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and production environments with RoHS requirements. Contact finish variations (gold mating surface versus tin-lead) provide enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for extended storage and harsh environmental conditions. The part is available in tube packaging with 924 units in stock. Applications include automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications sectors.

3M 2322-5121-TG (2300 Series)

The 3M 2322-5121-TG is an active product with full dimensional and electrical compatibility to the TE Connectivity 1-104355-1. This substitute maintains identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. The connector specifies 3A current rating matching the original part and operates across -55°C ~ 105°C, covering the original operating range with exception of the lower temperature limit (-55°C versus -65°C). Contact finish features gold mating surface with tin-lead post plating. The insulation material is thermoplastic glass-filled composition. The part maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original specification. Current inventory includes 840 units in stock.

Compliance Considerations

Selection between active substitutes depends on regulatory requirements. The Molex 0010894226 provides ROHS3 compliance for applications requiring modern environmental standards. The 3M 2322-5121-TG maintains RoHS non-compliant status aligned with the original part specification, suitable for legacy system replacement and applications without RoHS mandates. Both substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) consistent with the original connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0010894226 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-104355-1 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010894226 maintains identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (22), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and through-hole right-angle mounting orientation. Insulation height variation (0.220" versus 0.238") remains within acceptable PCB clearance tolerances. The connector is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-104355-1 features tin-lead plating on both mating and post contacts. The Molex 0010894226 provides gold mating surface with tin post plating, while the 3M 2322-5121-TG provides gold mating surface with tin-lead post plating. Gold plating enhances corrosion resistance and contact reliability in environments with moisture or chemical exposure. Tin-lead post plating maintains compatibility with standard solder reflow processes. Contact finish selection does not affect mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference between the 3M part (-55°C ~ 105°C) and the original (-65°C ~ 105°C) affect substitution suitability?

A: The 3M 2322-5121-TG operates across -55°C ~ 105°C, which does not extend to the original -65°C lower limit. Substitution is appropriate for applications operating within -55°C ~ 105°C range. Applications requiring operation below -55°C require the Molex 0010894226, which does not specify a lower temperature limit, or retention of the original TE Connectivity part if available.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS non-compliant and ROHS3 compliant status?

A: RoHS non-compliant parts may contain restricted substances including lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. ROHS3 compliant parts meet Directive 2011/65/EU requirements restricting these substances. The Molex 0010894226 achieves ROHS3 compliance, suitable for applications with environmental or regulatory mandates. The 3M 2322-5121-TG maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part, appropriate for legacy systems and applications without RoHS requirements.

Q: Are the contact length variations between parts significant for solder joint formation?

A: Contact length variations are minor. The TE Connectivity 1-104355-1 specifies 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, while both substitutes specify 0.110" (2.79mm). This 0.010" (0.25mm) reduction remains within standard solder joint formation tolerances for through-hole termination. Mating contact length variations (0.230" to 0.240") do not affect connector engagement depth or electrical performance.

Q: Can the Molex 0010894226 be used in applications requiring 30VAC rating?

A: The Molex 0010894226 does not specify voltage rating in the provided data. The TE Connectivity 1-104355-1 specifies 30VAC. Applications requiring confirmed 30VAC rating should use the 3M 2322-5121-TG, which maintains 3A current rating consistent with the original part, or contact the Molex manufacturer for voltage specification confirmation.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-104355-1 packaging is not specified. The Molex 0010894226 is supplied in tube packaging with 924 units in stock. The 3M 2322-5121-TG packaging is not specified. Tube packaging provides standard component handling and storage suitable for production environments. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.
