TE Connectivity 1445100-8 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1445100-8 is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. This 8-position connector operates at 250V with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-lead post finish. The connector is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with solder termination and locking ramp fastening. The part maintains Active product status and is available in standard packaging with 937 pieces in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are maintained across the same connector series and form factor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1445100-8 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Contact Material: Brass with specified finish specifications

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Series: Micro MATE-N-LOK
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Connector Type: Header
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp

Compliance Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 2-1445100-8 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging) and RoHS compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in the connector interface itself.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 1445100-8

The 1445100-8 is the baseline part specification and maintains Active product status with immediate availability (937 pieces in stock). This part is suitable for applications where standard packaging is required and RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

Substitute Selection: 2-1445100-8

The 2-1445100-8 is functionally equivalent to the 1445100-8 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Higher inventory availability (1,111 pieces in stock)
• Tape & Reel packaging format for automated assembly processes
• ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting stricter environmental and material standards
• Identical connector interface specifications ensuring direct functional interchangeability

The contact finish post specification differs (Tin-Lead versus Tin), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both finishes meet the same solderability and reliability requirements for this connector class.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements (standard versus Tape & Reel) and compliance mandates (RoHS3 requirement). Both parts are Active status and suitable for production use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1445100-8 and 2-1445100-8 interchangeable in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (250V, -40°C to 105°C operating range), mechanical form factor (8-position, 3.00mm pitch, surface mount right-angle), and connector interface specifications. They are functionally interchangeable at the circuit level.

Q: What is the difference between the contact post finishes (Tin-Lead versus Tin)?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance for this connector application. The difference reflects manufacturing process variations within TE Connectivity's product line. Both finishes meet the same reliability and solder joint quality standards for this connector class.

Q: Why does the 2-1445100-8 have ROHS3 compliance while the 1445100-8 shows "Not applicable"?

A: The 2-1445100-8 is packaged in Tape & Reel format and carries explicit ROHS3 certification. The 1445100-8 in standard packaging does not carry this designation in the provided specifications. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance documentation, the 2-1445100-8 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does the packaging difference (standard versus Tape & Reel) mean for my application?

A: Standard packaging is suitable for manual assembly and small-volume production. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume manufacturing. Select based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use the 2-1445100-8 as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 1445100-8?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Tape & Reel packaging. The connector interface, electrical specifications, and mechanical mounting are identical. No circuit design changes are required.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the -40°C to 105°C temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 1445100-8 and 2-1445100-8 are rated for -40°C to 105°C continuous operation. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 250V. This specification is identical across the 1445100-8 and 2-1445100-8.
