Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1445096-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Series: Micro MATE-N-LOK
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 2-1445096-8 meets all mandatory matching parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format and product status. The 1445096-8 is supplied in standard packaging with obsolete status, while 2-1445096-8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with active product status. Additionally, the post contact finish differs: the main part uses Tin-Lead, while the substitute uses Tin. Both finishes maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-1445096-8 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 1445096-8. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including connector geometry, contact configuration, operating temperature range, and voltage rating.

Compliance Consideration: The 2-1445096-8 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 1445096-8 status is not applicable. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, 2-1445096-8 satisfies compliance requirements.

Packaging Consideration: The 1445096-8 is supplied in standard packaging, while 2-1445096-8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

Contact Finish Consideration: The post contact finish differs between parts. The 1445096-8 uses Tin-Lead, while 2-1445096-8 uses Tin. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. The Tin finish in 2-1445096-8 aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1445096-8 be used as a direct replacement for 1445096-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-1445096-8 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 1445096-8. Both parts conform to identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, operating temperature, and voltage rating. The parts are interchangeable at the functional level.

Q: What is the difference between the standard packaging of 1445096-8 and the Tape & Reel packaging of 2-1445096-8?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is a continuous strip format designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Standard packaging typically refers to bulk or tray formats. For manual assembly or small-quantity applications, standard packaging may be preferred. For automated high-volume production, Tape & Reel is the standard format.

Q: Does the Tin post finish of 2-1445096-8 differ functionally from the Tin-Lead finish of 1445096-8?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and solderability. The Tin finish in 2-1445096-8 represents a lead-free alternative aligned with modern manufacturing standards and environmental regulations. No functional performance difference exists between the two finishes within the specified operating parameters.

Q: Why is 1445096-8 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 2-1445096-8 is the active equivalent part maintained in current production. For applications requiring ongoing supply, 2-1445096-8 is the recommended selection.

Q: Is 2-1445096-8 ROHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 2-1445096-8 is ROHS3 compliant. The 1445096-8 carries "not applicable" RoHS status. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, 2-1445096-8 satisfies compliance requirements.
