TE Connectivity 1-280530-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-280530-1 is a socket contact for rectangular connectors, rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges with gold plating and crimp termination. This component is part of the AMPMODU Mod II series and is classified as Active with full RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part is unavailable or when alternative packaging formats are necessary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-280530-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Socket contact type (all substitutes are socket contacts)
• Crimp termination method (all substitutes use crimp termination)
• Gold contact finish (primary substitutes maintain gold plating)
• Wire gauge compatibility (22-26 AWG range or overlapping ranges)
• RoHS3 compliance (all substitutes maintain regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (all substitutes rated MSL 1)

Substitution Logic: Molex C-Grid III 90119 series parts are functionally equivalent when wire gauge ranges overlap with the original specification. The 1-280530-1 accommodates 22-26 AWG wire; substitutes with 22-24 AWG or 26-28 AWG ranges provide partial overlap. Parts with identical wire gauge ranges and gold finish are direct functional equivalents. Contact finish thickness variations and packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape or Bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Gold Finish, Overlapping Wire Gauge):

Molex 0901190111 is suitable for applications requiring 22-24 AWG wire with gold contact finish. This part overlaps the lower wire gauge range of the 1-280530-1 and maintains identical contact termination and finish material.

Molex 0901190121 and 0901192122 are suitable for applications requiring 26-28 AWG wire with gold contact finish. These parts overlap the upper wire gauge range of the 1-280530-1. Part 0901190121 is supplied in Cut Tape packaging, while 0901192122 is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Conditional Substitute (Tin Finish):

Molex 0901190120 accommodates 26-28 AWG wire but features tin contact finish instead of gold. This part is functionally equivalent for applications where tin plating is acceptable and wire gauge requirements are 26-28 AWG.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Packaging format selection (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Bulk) depends on assembly process requirements and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0901190111 replace the TE Connectivity 1-280530-1 in all applications?

A: Molex 0901190111 is suitable only for applications using 22-24 AWG wire. The 1-280530-1 accommodates 22-26 AWG wire, so the Molex part does not cover the full wire gauge range. For applications requiring 25-26 AWG wire, alternative substitutes must be selected.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0901190121 and 0901192122?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications: 26-28 AWG wire gauge, gold contact finish, and crimp termination. The difference is packaging format. Part 0901190121 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, while 0901192122 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Why does Molex 0901190120 have tin finish instead of gold?

A: Molex 0901190120 is a tin-plated variant of the C-Grid III 90119 series. It is functionally equivalent for 26-28 AWG applications where tin plating meets application requirements. Gold-plated alternatives (0901190121 and 0901192122) are available for applications requiring gold contact finish.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (0901190111, 0901190120, 0901190121, 0901192122) are RoHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 rating, matching the compliance profile of the original 1-280530-1 part.

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect substitution compatibility?

A: Contact finish thickness variations (ranging from 15.0µin to 40.0µin across the listed parts) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Thickness differences reflect manufacturing specifications within acceptable performance parameters for rectangular connector socket contacts.

Q: Can packaging format be changed without affecting performance?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Bulk) affects handling and assembly processes but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection is based on manufacturing equipment compatibility and supply chain requirements.
