TE Connectivity 145098-1 PCI Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 145098-1 is a 120-position female PCI card edge connector designed for surface mount applications. This connector features a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, dual read-out configuration, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The part is classified as Active product status and is currently in stock with 1,044 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required but alternative packaging, compliance certifications, or color options are acceptable for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part TE Connectivity 145098-1 and the equivalent part 5145098-1 is based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors maintain the same core functional parameters: 120-position female configuration, 0.050" pitch, dual read-out, surface mount termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness, and thermoplastic glass-filled insulation.

The key parameters that determine substitutability are:

• Number of positions (120)
• Pitch specification (0.050")
• Card thickness tolerance (0.062")
• Number of rows (2)
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Mounting and termination method
• Insulation material composition

Differences between these parts are limited to packaging format and product compliance certifications, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in the connector interface itself.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 145098-1 and 5145098-1 are Active product status connectors suitable for PCI card edge applications. The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance and packaging configuration.

The 145098-1 is classified as RoHS non-compliant and is supplied in standard packaging. This part is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement and standard packaging meets procurement specifications.

The 5145098-1 is ROHS3 compliant and supplied in bulk packaging. This part is appropriate for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements or for high-volume procurement where bulk packaging provides cost efficiency. The ROHS3 compliance status indicates conformance to Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including the 120-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, dual read-out, surface mount termination, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contact system. The color difference (White versus Natural) is a cosmetic distinction that does not affect functional performance.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements for the end application and packaging format preferences for inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 145098-1 and 5145098-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 120 positions, 0.050" pitch, dual read-out configuration, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contact materials with 30.0µin finish thickness.

Q: What is the difference between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), and connector color (White versus Natural). All electrical and mechanical interface specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5145098-1 as a direct replacement for the 145098-1 in an existing design?

A: Yes, provided the application does not have specific packaging or color requirements. The 5145098-1 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 145098-1 interface.

Q: Does the color difference affect connector performance?

A: No. The color difference is cosmetic only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact reliability.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean for the 5145098-1?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the connector conforms to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements. This certification is required for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations.

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

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS3 compliance is required, use the 5145098-1. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part is suitable based on packaging and inventory preferences.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 145098-1 has 1,044 units in stock, and the 5145098-1 has 686 units in stock.

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

A: Both connectors have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
