TE Connectivity 1445087-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1445087-9 is a Surface Mount Connector Header in the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. This 9-position, single-row rectangular connector features a 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch and is rated for 250V operation across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The connector is actively manufactured and maintains 859 pieces in current inventory stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required but alternative packaging, compliance certifications, or contact finish compositions are acceptable for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 2-1445087-9 is functionally equivalent to the main part 1445087-9 based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Identical voltage rating (250V)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Identical contact material (Brass)
• Identical mating contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin/0.38µm)

Mechanical Equivalence:

• Identical connector type (Header)
• Identical contact type (Male Pin)
• Identical number of positions (9)
• Identical pitch (0.118"/3.00mm)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Identical shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Identical termination method (Solder)
• Identical fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Identical insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Identical insulation height (0.364"/9.25mm)
• Identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Acceptable Variations:

• Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. standard packaging)
• Post contact finish composition (Tin-Lead vs. Tin)
• Post contact finish thickness remains equivalent (100.0µin/2.54µm)
• RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (1445087-9): The main part 1445087-9 is the preferred selection for applications where standard packaging and existing inventory availability are priorities. This part maintains active product status with 859 pieces in stock. The Tin-Lead post contact finish provides established solderability characteristics in legacy manufacturing environments.

Substitute Part Selection (2-1445087-9): The substitute part 2-1445087-9 is selected when ROHS3 compliance is a contractual or regulatory requirement. This part is supplied in Cut Tape packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Tin post contact finish meets modern lead-free soldering standards while maintaining electrical and mechanical equivalence. This part maintains 778 pieces in current inventory stock.

Compliance Considerations: Applications subject to RoHS3 regulations must use part 2-1445087-9. Applications without RoHS compliance requirements may use either part based on packaging and inventory availability. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Packaging Considerations: The main part 1445087-9 is supplied in standard packaging format. The substitute part 2-1445087-9 is supplied in Cut Tape format, which is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Selection between these packaging formats depends on production methodology and assembly equipment compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 1445087-9 and 2-1445087-9 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 250V operation, share identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 105°C), and feature identical mating contact finishes (Gold, 15.0µin). The difference in post contact finish (Tin-Lead vs. Tin) does not affect electrical performance in the mating interface.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead and Tin post contact finishes?

A: The post contact finish applies to the solder connection point on the printed circuit board. Tin-Lead (1445087-9) is a traditional finish used in legacy manufacturing. Tin (2-1445087-9) is a lead-free finish compliant with RoHS3 regulations. Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint reliability when used with appropriate soldering processes.

Q: Can I use part 2-1445087-9 in place of 1445087-9 in an existing design?

A: Yes, provided your manufacturing process and regulatory requirements support the use of Cut Tape packaging and lead-free solder finishes. The mechanical and electrical specifications are identical. Verify that your assembly equipment is compatible with Cut Tape format.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Specify part 2-1445087-9 if your application or customer requirements mandate RoHS3 compliance. Specify part 1445087-9 if RoHS compliance is not required and standard packaging is preferred. Both parts are actively manufactured and available in inventory.

Q: What does "Cut Tape (CT)" packaging mean?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components on a continuous carrier tape that is cut into individual segments. This format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume production runs. Standard packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the full -40°C to 105°C temperature range and are rated for 250V. No derating or operational limitations apply when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity precautions are required during storage, handling, or assembly.
