Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 142813-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 5
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or equivalent regulatory compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99

The Molex 0987841011 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and maintains equivalent compliance certifications. Variation in housing color (Natural versus Black) does not affect functional substitution capability, as color represents a cosmetic attribute rather than an electrical or mechanical functional parameter.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0987841011 rectangular connector housing serves as a direct functional substitute for the TE Connectivity 142813-1. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain RoHS compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental performance equivalence.

Functional Equivalence: All critical connector parameters—receptacle type, 5-position female socket configuration, single-row layout, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening—are identical between the main part and substitute.

Product Status Consideration: The TE Connectivity 142813-1 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating production discontinuation. The Molex 0987841011 maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Export Classification: Both components share identical ECCN classification (EAR99), maintaining consistent export control compliance.

The Molex substitute provides specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and insulation material (PBT), parameters not provided for the original part. These specifications represent standard performance characteristics for this connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0987841011 directly replace the TE Connectivity 142813-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0987841011 matches all critical functional parameters: 5-position receptacle housing, female socket contacts, single-row configuration, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Both components maintain identical RoHS compliance and MSL ratings.

Q: Does the color difference between Natural (142813-1) and Black (0987841011) affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Color selection is determined by application aesthetics or system design requirements, not connector performance.

Q: Are contacts included with either connector housing?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 142813-1 and Molex 0987841011 are housing units only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with either part.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the TE Connectivity 142813-1?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that TE Connectivity has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory may be available for a limited period, but long-term supply is not guaranteed. The Molex 0987841011 substitute maintains Active status, ensuring continued availability.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance levels equivalent between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 142813-1 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the Molex 0987841011 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard and maintains full compliance with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Both components carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly. This rating is identical for both the main part and substitute.

Q: Can I use contacts designed for the TE Connectivity 142813-1 with the Molex 0987841011 housing?

A: Contact compatibility depends on contact specifications and mating interface design. Contact selection must be verified against the specific connector series and contact specifications for each housing. Consult manufacturer documentation for contact compatibility matrices.

Q: What export control classification applies to these connector housings?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 142813-1 and Molex 0987841011 carry ECCN classification EAR99, indicating standard commercial rectangular connector components with no specific export restrictions.
