Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1445084-9 with the 2-1445084-9 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. Both parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• 9-position, single-row configuration
• 0.118" (3.00mm) mating pitch
• Male pin contact type with square contact shape
• Shrouded 4-wall construction
• Through-hole mounting with press-fit and solder termination options
• Locking ramp fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contacts (15.0µin thickness)
• Brass contact material with polyamide/nylon insulation
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C
• 250V voltage rating
• UL94 V-0 flammability classification
• Board guide feature

The primary distinction between these parts is the contact finish on the post: the main part (1445084-9) uses tin-lead plating, while the substitute (2-1445084-9) uses tin plating. Both finishes maintain 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. The substitute part is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-1445084-9 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1445084-9. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Availability: The main part (1445084-9) is classified as obsolete, while the substitute (2-1445084-9) maintains active production status. The substitute offers significantly higher inventory availability (5468 units versus 1158 units), ensuring supply chain continuity for ongoing production and field service requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part (2-1445084-9) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to environmental regulations, the substitute part satisfies current compliance requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters, including connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, termination methods, operating temperature range, voltage rating, and flammability classification. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Contact Finish Consideration: The primary technical difference is the post contact finish. The main part uses tin-lead plating, while the substitute uses tin plating. Both finishes maintain equivalent thickness (100.0µin) and provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance for through-hole and press-fit termination applications.

Packaging Difference: The main part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect functional compatibility but may influence handling and storage procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1445084-9 and 2-1445084-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, including 250V voltage rating, gold-plated mating contacts, brass contact material, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The post contact finish difference (tin-lead versus tin) does not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part uses tin-lead post plating, while the substitute uses tin post plating. Both finishes are 100.0µin thick and provide equivalent solderability for through-hole and press-fit termination. The tin finish on the substitute part aligns with current lead-free manufacturing standards.

Q: Can the 2-1445084-9 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-1445084-9 is a direct substitute with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. No design modifications are required for component substitution.

Q: Why is the substitute part ROHS3 compliant while the main part is not?

A: The substitute part (2-1445084-9) incorporates tin post plating instead of tin-lead plating, eliminating lead content and achieving ROHS3 compliance. This reflects the transition to lead-free manufacturing standards.

Q: Does the packaging difference (bulk versus tray) affect component functionality?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The difference is limited to handling, storage, and logistics considerations. Both packaging formats contain identical components.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The main part (1445084-9) is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1158 units). The substitute part (2-1445084-9) is in active production with higher inventory availability (5468 units), making it the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are both parts suitable for general-purpose applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for general-purpose applications and maintain identical operating specifications across temperature, voltage, and environmental parameters.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.118" (3.00mm) mating pitch with 9 positions in a single-row configuration, maintaining compatibility with Micro MATE-N-LOK series receptacles.
