TE Connectivity 1-1445101-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-1445101-0 is a Micro MATE-N-LOK rectangular connector header designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 10 positions at 3.00mm pitch. This component functions as a board-to-cable/wire interface with shrouded 4-wall construction and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-1445101-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Material: Brass
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Style: Board to Cable/Wire

Acceptable Variations:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle (primary); Through Hole, Right Angle (limited compatibility)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled
• Insulation Height: Minor variations acceptable within connector envelope constraints
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: Variations within gold plating specifications
• Product Status: Active substitutes preferred over obsolete

The three identified Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 43650 series parts meet these criteria and are classified as active products, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete TE Connectivity original.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0436501013

The Molex 0436501013 is the optimal substitute for the TE Connectivity 1-1445101-0. Both components share identical mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle), contact configuration, and electrical specifications. The 0436501013 is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete original. Packaging in Tape & Reel format supports automated assembly processes. The insulation material upgrade to Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled provides enhanced thermal and mechanical performance characteristics.

Secondary Substitute: Molex 0436501014

The Molex 0436501014 functions as an equivalent alternative with identical mounting and electrical specifications to the primary substitute. This part is also active and ROHS3 compliant. The contact finish thickness on the mating surface matches the original specification at 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing exact electrical contact characteristics. Tape & Reel packaging supports high-volume production environments.

Tertiary Substitute: Molex 0436501005

The Molex 0436501005 provides functional equivalence with a critical difference: Through Hole, Right Angle mounting versus the original Surface Mount configuration. This part is suitable only for applications where board layout permits through-hole termination or where existing through-hole footprints are present. The part is active and ROHS3 compliant. Tray packaging is appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Regulatory Compliance Consideration

All three Molex substitutes achieve ROHS3 compliance, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the original TE Connectivity part. This compliance upgrade is significant for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations. REACH Unaffected status on all substitutes provides regulatory clarity absent from the original vendor-undefined designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436501005 (Through Hole) directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-1445101-0 (Surface Mount)?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without board redesign. The 0436501005 requires through-hole mounting pads, while the original part uses surface mount pads. Electrical and mechanical compatibility exists, but physical board layout modification is necessary. Use the 0436501005 only when board redesign is feasible or when existing through-hole footprints are available.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0436501013 and 0436501014?

A: Both parts are surface mount, right-angle headers with identical pitch, position count, and mounting type. The primary difference is contact finish thickness on the mating surface: 0436501013 has 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating, while 0436501014 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. The 0436501014 matches the original TE Connectivity specification exactly for mating surface finish thickness.

Q: Are the Molex substitutes compatible with existing TE Connectivity Micro MATE-N-LOK mating connectors?

A: Compatibility is determined by mating connector specifications. The Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 series shares identical pitch (3.00mm), position count (10), contact type (Male Pin), and shrouding (4-wall) with the original part. Verification with the specific mating connector documentation is required to confirm mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: Molex 0436501013 and 0436501014 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Molex 0436501005 is supplied in Tray packaging, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Packaging selection should align with production assembly methodology.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same regulatory requirements as the original part?

A: All three Molex substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing superior regulatory status compared to the original TE Connectivity part, which is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the Molex substitutes provide compliance advantages. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical across all parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the Molex substitutes?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided in the available data for the Molex substitutes. The original TE Connectivity part specifies -40°C to 105°C operation. Consult Molex technical documentation or contact the manufacturer directly for confirmed operating temperature ranges on the substitute parts.

Q: Are there any mechanical envelope differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Insulation height differs slightly: the original TE Connectivity part measures 0.152" (3.85mm), while all Molex substitutes measure 0.172" (4.37mm). This 0.020" (0.52mm) difference may affect board layout clearances, particularly in space-constrained applications. Verify clearance with surrounding components and board features before implementation.
