Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1445092-5 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Number of Positions: 5
• 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 Material: Brass
• Insulation Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount variants acceptable (original is Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold acceptable (original is Gold)
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin or Tin-Lead acceptable (original is Tin-Lead)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled acceptable
• Insulation Height: Minor variations acceptable within connector design specifications

The identified substitute parts meet these criteria while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the original component.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0436500510

The Molex 0436500510 rectangular connector header is the direct functional equivalent for surface mount applications. This part maintains identical pitch (3.00mm), position count (5), contact configuration, and mounting orientation as the original TE Connectivity 1445092-5. The 0436500510 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The component carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The insulation material differs (Liquid Crystal Polymer with glass fill versus Polyamide), providing enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Contact finish specifications align with the original component, with gold mating surface and tin post finish.

Secondary Substitute: Molex 0436500505

The Molex 0436500505 provides functional equivalence for through-hole mounting applications. This part shares identical pitch, position count, contact type, and shrouding configuration with the original component. The 0436500505 is active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. The primary distinction is mounting type (through-hole versus surface mount), which requires PCB design modification. This substitute is applicable only when board layout permits through-hole termination.

Both Molex alternatives provide superior regulatory compliance and active product status compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436500510 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1445092-5 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The Molex 0436500510 is a surface mount, right-angle connector with identical 3.00mm pitch, 5-position configuration, and mounting footprint compatibility. No PCB redesign is required for this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex 0436500510 and 0436500505?

A: The primary difference is mounting type. The 0436500510 is surface mount (equivalent to the original TE Connectivity part), while the 0436500505 is through-hole. Both share identical pitch, position count, and contact specifications. Selection depends on PCB design requirements.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1445092-5 specifies -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. Operating temperature specifications are not provided for the Molex substitutes in the available data. Consult Molex technical documentation for complete thermal specifications.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect connector performance?

A: The Molex substitutes use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass fill instead of Polyamide (PA) nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. LCP provides enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties. This change does not compromise functional compatibility.

Q: Are the Molex parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both Molex 0436500510 and 0436500505 are ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as not applicable. The Molex substitutes meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish difference between the original and substitutes?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1445092-5 has tin-lead post finish. The Molex substitutes have tin post finish. Both maintain gold mating surface finish. The contact finish thickness remains 100.0µin (2.54µm) for post finish across all parts.

Q: Can I use the Molex 0436500505 (through-hole) if my board currently uses surface mount?

A: No. The 0436500505 requires through-hole PCB pads and mounting holes. Using this part on a surface mount board design requires PCB redesign. The Molex 0436500510 is the appropriate choice for existing surface mount applications.

Q: What is the voltage rating for the Molex substitutes?

A: Voltage rating specifications are not provided for the Molex 0436500510 and 0436500505 in the available data. The original TE Connectivity part specifies 250V. Consult Molex technical documentation for complete electrical specifications.

Q: Are the Molex parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The Molex 0436500510 is available in cut tape and tape & reel packaging. The Molex 0436500505 is available in tray packaging. The original TE Connectivity part packaging is not specified. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.
