TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1445048-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1445048-0 is a 10-position rectangular connector housing designed for the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. This plug housing accommodates male pin contacts with a 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch and features panel mount, snap-in installation. The connector is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. This part is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, inventory availability, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 10
• Pitch: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Color: Black
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0436401000 connector housing meets all mandatory parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts are manufactured from polyamide nylon materials, operate within identical temperature specifications, and feature identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with male pin contact insertion, panel mounting requirements, and locking ramp fastening mechanisms.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0 and Molex 0436401000 are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts is based on procurement availability, inventory levels, and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differentiation.

The TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0 is part of the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, while the Molex 0436401000 belongs to the Micro-Fit 3.0 43640 series. Despite different series designations, both connectors meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 10-position, 3.00mm pitch plug housings with male pin contacts.

Current inventory status shows 769 pieces of the TE Connectivity part and 3730 pieces of the Molex part available as new original stock. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and are suitable for applications requiring panel-mount, snap-in rectangular connectors with locking ramp fastening mechanisms across the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436401000 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0?

A: Yes. The Molex 0436401000 is a parametric equivalent that matches all critical specifications including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting type, fastening mechanism, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. Both parts are plug housings designed for 10 male pin contacts at 3.00mm pitch with identical mechanical interfaces.

Q: Are there any differences in the connector series between these two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part belongs to the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, while the Molex part is from the Micro-Fit 3.0 43640 series. These are different product families from different manufacturers, but they share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this specific housing configuration.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact types?

A: Yes. Both housings are designed for male pin contacts with crimp termination. The note "Contacts Not Included" applies to both parts, meaning contacts must be sourced separately and are compatible with either housing based on matching pitch and contact specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. This classification applies to both the TE Connectivity and Molex parts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0 and Molex 0436401000 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation material specifications listed for each part?

A: Both parts use polyamide nylon materials. The TE Connectivity part specifies PA66 (Nylon 6/6), while the Molex part lists PA (Polyamide) and Nylon. These material compositions are functionally equivalent for the connector housing application and maintain identical operating temperature ranges of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation beyond 105°C require alternative connector housing designs rated for higher temperatures.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 1-1445048-0 and Molex 0436401000 are sold as housings only. Male pin contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.
