Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1612775-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Socket contact configuration (Pin or Socket designation)
• Crimp termination method
• Tin contact finish
• Wire gauge compatibility (22 AWG minimum requirement)
• Rectangular connector category classification
• ROHS3 compliance status
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5009891000 qualifies as an equivalent based on matching socket type, crimp termination, tin finish, and regulatory compliance. The substitute accommodates an expanded wire gauge range of 22-26 AWG, which includes the primary 22 AWG specification of the original part. Both components maintain identical MSL and REACH classifications, ensuring compatibility in storage and deployment environments.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 5009891000

The Molex 5009891000 serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1612775-1. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Regulatory Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety standards.
• Operational Equivalence: Identical socket configuration, crimp termination method, and tin contact finish provide functional parity.
• Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 22-26 AWG range of the substitute encompasses the 22 AWG specification of the original part, maintaining electrical and mechanical integrity.
• Production Status: The substitute is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.
• Storage Characteristics: Matching MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) confirms equivalent moisture sensitivity and shelf-life performance.

The Molex 5009891000 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 736 units in current inventory, supporting both prototype and production-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 5009891000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1612775-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts with crimp termination, tin finish, and identical wire gauge specifications at 22 AWG. The Molex part accommodates the full 22 AWG requirement within its 22-26 AWG range. Regulatory compliance and MSL ratings are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference (22 AWG vs. 22-26 AWG)?

A: The substitute part's expanded wire gauge range (22-26 AWG) includes the original specification of 22 AWG. This broader range does not compromise compatibility; it indicates the substitute contact is designed to accommodate multiple wire gauges within that specification band. For 22 AWG applications, the substitute performs identically to the original part.

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

A: The original part number 1612775-1 does not specify packaging information in available documentation. The substitute Molex 5009891000 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume connector contact distribution and is compatible with automated assembly processes.

Q: Why is the original part classified as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects TE Connectivity's discontinuation of the 1612775-1 line. The Molex 5009891000 remains in active production, providing continuity for applications requiring socket contacts with 22 AWG crimp termination and tin finish.

Q: Are the regulatory certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1612775-1 and Molex 5009891000 maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). These certifications are identical and ensure compatibility with current regulatory requirements and storage protocols.

Q: What is the MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and how does it affect component handling?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations and does not require special dry-pack storage or baking procedures prior to assembly. Both the original and substitute parts can be stored under standard industrial conditions without degradation.
