Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the TE Connectivity 1445099-7 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch - mating (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Number of positions (7)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Features (Board Lock)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The Molex 0436500710 satisfies all critical matching parameters, establishing it as a functional equivalent. Variations in insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. Polyamide), contact finish thickness, and product status do not affect core substitution compatibility when the above parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0436500710

The Molex 0436500710 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1445099-7. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, shrouding, termination, and fastening mechanism.

Product Status Consideration: The TE Connectivity 1445099-7 is classified as obsolete, while the Molex 0436500710 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and design continuity. Active product status ensures ongoing availability, manufacturing support, and compliance updates.

Compliance Differences: The Molex 0436500710 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the TE Connectivity 1445099-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements, the Molex substitute satisfies current environmental compliance standards.

Contact Finish Post Variation: The TE Connectivity part specifies Tin-Lead post finish, while the Molex equivalent uses Tin post finish. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes and do not affect functional substitution.

Insulation Material Difference: The TE Connectivity part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation, while the Molex part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436500710 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1445099-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0436500710 is a direct functional equivalent. All critical parameters—connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, shrouding, termination, and fastening—are identical. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete product status for the TE Connectivity part?

A: Obsolete status indicates the TE Connectivity 1445099-7 is no longer in active production. While current inventory exists (661 pieces), future availability cannot be guaranteed. The Molex 0436500710 maintains active status, ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1445099-7 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The Molex 0436500710 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance, the TE Connectivity specification should be referenced.

Q: How do the RoHS compliance statuses differ?

A: The TE Connectivity 1445099-7 is RoHS non-compliant. The Molex 0436500710 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements, the Molex part satisfies current regulatory standards.

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

A: The TE Connectivity part uses Tin-Lead post finish, while the Molex part uses Tin post finish. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes. Tin post finish is consistent with lead-free soldering practices.

Q: Are the insulation materials functionally equivalent?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation, while the Molex part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the specified operating conditions.

Q: What packaging format is the Molex substitute supplied in?

A: The Molex 0436500710 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The TE Connectivity part does not specify a packaging format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for surface mount components and is suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts classified as MSL 1?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1445099-7 and Molex 0436500710 are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

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

A: The Molex 0436500710 does not provide a voltage rating specification in the available data. The TE Connectivity 1445099-7 specifies a 250V voltage rating. For applications requiring confirmed voltage performance, the TE Connectivity specification should be referenced.
