• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 12
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Brass
• Features: Board Lock
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1445088-2 is classified as Obsolete, making transition to active equivalent components necessary for new designs and ongoing procurement. Both Molex substitute parts 0436501202 and 0436501205 are listed with Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Considerations:

The original TE Connectivity component carries RoHS non-compliant status. Both Molex substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS directives. Additionally, the Molex parts carry REACH Unaffected status, compared to the original part's Vendor Undefined REACH status.

Material Composition:

The original part utilizes Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation material, while both Molex substitutes employ Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) Glass Filled insulation. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The Molex insulation material provides enhanced thermal and mechanical properties suitable for demanding applications.

Contact Finish Specifications:

The Molex substitutes feature increased mating contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm) compared to the original 15.0µin (0.38µm), providing enhanced durability and contact reliability. Both substitute parts maintain identical post contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm).

Dimensional Variations:

The Molex parts exhibit increased contact length post of 0.125" (3.18mm) versus the original 0.114" (2.90mm), and increased insulation height of 0.172" (4.37mm) versus 0.152" (3.85mm). These dimensional differences require verification against specific board layout and mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0436501202 and 0436501205 parts electrically identical to the TE Connectivity 1-1445088-2?

A: Both Molex parts maintain electrical compatibility through matching connector type, contact type, pitch spacing, number of positions, contact material, and contact finish specifications. The parts are suitable for equivalent electrical performance in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the TE Connectivity 1-1445088-2?

A: The original part carries Obsolete product status. The Molex 0436501202 and 0436501205 are Active products, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Q: Do the Molex substitute parts require PCB layout modifications?

A: The Molex substitutes feature increased contact length post and insulation height compared to the original part. PCB footprint and mating connector clearances must be verified against the specific dimensional specifications of the substitute parts to ensure proper fit and function.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0436501202 and 0436501205?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. They are both part of the Micro-Fit 3.0 43650 series and provide equivalent substitution capability for the original TE Connectivity component.

Q: Are there any compliance advantages to using the Molex substitutes?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status, compared to the original part's RoHS non-compliant and Vendor Undefined REACH status. This provides enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS and REACH directives.

Q: What is the contact finish difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original part features Tin-Lead post contact finish, while the Molex substitutes feature Tin post contact finish. Both maintain identical post contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The mating contact finish is Gold in all three parts, with the Molex substitutes providing increased thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm) versus the original 15.0µin (0.38µm).

Q: Can the Molex parts be used in existing designs without modification?

A: Mechanical compatibility requires verification of PCB footprint, mounting hole alignment, and mating connector clearances due to dimensional differences in contact length post and insulation height. Electrical compatibility is maintained across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute parts?

A: Both Molex substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging, compared to the original part's unspecified packaging format.
