Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 11
• Number of rows: 1
• Pitch - mating: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact material: Brass
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic or equivalent polymer
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0026202111 connector satisfies all primary matching criteria and maintains functional compatibility with the original TE Connectivity component. Both connectors provide identical mating pitch, position count, and mounting interface specifications required for direct substitution in board-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 (Original Component): The original component is classified as obsolete. Continued sourcing is limited to existing inventory. The component carries RoHS status as "Not applicable" and REACH status as "Vendor Undefined," indicating legacy product classification without current environmental compliance documentation.

Molex 0026202111 (Active Substitute): The Molex 0026202111 is an active product with full RoHS3 compliance certification. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical interface parameters required for direct replacement. The active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The component is rated for automotive, general purpose, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications, providing broad compatibility across multiple end-use sectors.

Selection Basis: Component selection should prioritize the Molex 0026202111 for new designs and production continuity. The substitute part provides identical mating interface specifications, matching pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. The active product status and RoHS3 compliance support long-term supply reliability and regulatory alignment. For legacy system maintenance requiring the original TE Connectivity component, existing inventory availability should be verified prior to procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0026202111 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), position count (11), row configuration (1), mounting type (through hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The mating interface is functionally equivalent, allowing direct substitution in board-level applications without circuit redesign.

Q: What are the differences between the original and substitute connector?

A: The primary differences are contact geometry and finish specification. The TE Connectivity component features rectangular contacts with gold plating (30.0µin thickness), while the Molex substitute uses circular contacts with tin plating (100.0µin thickness). The Molex component also specifies polyamide (nylon) insulation material versus thermoplastic in the original. Contact length specifications differ slightly: TE Connectivity mating contact length is 0.405" (10.29mm) versus Molex 0.450" (11.43mm). These differences do not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0026202111 carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 is classified as "Not applicable" for RoHS status. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The Molex component's active product status ensures current environmental compliance documentation and regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The Molex 0026202111 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The original TE Connectivity component is rated for -65°C to 105°C operation. For applications requiring confirmed temperature specifications, contact the Molex technical documentation or supplier.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0026202111 is explicitly rated for automotive applications. The TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 does not specify application categories in the provided data. The Molex substitute is suitable for automotive, general purpose, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: What is the current rating for each connector?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 is rated for 5A per contact. The Molex 0026202111 does not specify a current rating in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed current specifications, contact the Molex technical documentation or supplier.

Q: How do the packaging specifications differ?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-85829-1 is supplied with packaging designation listed as "-" (not specified). The Molex 0026202111 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or supply chain department prior to ordering.
