Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 (Primary Part)

The TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 is the primary specification and should be selected when available. This part is actively manufactured with 794 pieces in current inventory. It meets all required compliance standards including ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C provides the widest thermal envelope among the listed options, making it suitable for automotive and telecommunications applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Molex 0705530004 and 0705530109 (Primary Substitutes)

The Molex SL 70553 series parts (0705530004 and 0705530109) are direct functional equivalents with identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count, and mounting configuration. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary differences are contact finish specifications (gold plating versus tin) and contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass). These parts feature higher inventory availability (13,964 and 7,873 pieces respectively) and are suitable for general purpose, automotive, industrial, and medical applications. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C is acceptable for most standard applications, though it does not extend to the lower temperature limit of the primary part.

JST S05B-XASK-1 (Secondary Substitute)

The JST XA series part S05B-XASK-1 provides an alternative with a slightly different pitch spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm). This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating but features a circular contact shape and polyamide insulation material. The operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) is more limited than the primary part. This substitute is appropriate only when mechanical and thermal constraints permit the pitch variation and reduced temperature range. The part offers 11,529 pieces in inventory.

Selection Criteria Summary

Select the TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 for applications requiring the full -65°C to 105°C operating range or when thermoplastic insulation is specified. Select Molex 0705530004 or 0705530109 when equivalent performance is acceptable and improved inventory availability is beneficial. The Molex parts are interchangeable with each other, differing only in contact finish thickness specifications. Select the JST S05B-XASK-1 only when the 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch spacing is compatible with the mating connector and the reduced operating temperature range is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0705530004 and 0705530109 be used interchangeably with the TE Connectivity 2-103672-7?

A: The Molex parts are functionally equivalent for applications within the -40°C to 105°C operating range. Both maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (5), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle). The primary differences are contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass) and contact finish (gold versus tin). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is the key difference between Molex 0705530004 and 0705530109?

A: Both parts are from the Molex SL 70553 series and are mechanically and electrically identical. The only difference is the contact finish thickness on the mating surface: 0705530004 has 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating, while 0705530109 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. Selection between these parts depends on contact durability requirements for the specific application.

Q: Why does the JST S05B-XASK-1 have a different pitch spacing?

A: The JST part operates at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch spacing compared to the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) of the other parts. This part is not a direct substitute and can only be used if the mating connector is also designed for 2.50mm pitch spacing. Attempting to mate this connector with a 2.54mm pitch socket will result in improper contact alignment.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2-103672-7, Molex 0705530004, Molex 0705530109, and JST S05B-XASK-1 are all ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 flammability rating?

A: UL94 V-0 is the highest flammability classification for polymeric materials. All listed parts meet this standard, indicating that the insulation material will not support combustion and will self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed. This rating is required for many automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity part be used in applications with a maximum operating temperature of 85°C?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 operates from -65°C to 105°C, which encompasses the 85°C maximum requirement. Any of the listed parts can be used for applications with this thermal constraint.

Q: What is the difference between solder and press-fit termination?

A: The TE Connectivity and Molex parts use solder termination exclusively, requiring the connector pins to be soldered to the printed circuit board. The JST S05B-XASK-1 offers both press-fit and solder termination options, allowing for either mechanical insertion into plated through-holes or traditional soldering. Press-fit termination provides faster assembly but requires precise hole sizing and plating specifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 and Molex parts are supplied in tube packaging, while the JST S05B-XASK-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Tube packaging provides individual part protection and is preferred for automated assembly processes, while bulk packaging is more economical for high-volume manual assembly operations.

Q: What contact material differences exist between the parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses brass contacts with tin plating. The Molex parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating. The JST part uses copper alloy contacts with tin plating. Phosphor bronze provides superior spring characteristics and durability compared to brass, while gold plating offers better corrosion resistance than tin plating. These material differences may affect long-term reliability in harsh environments.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: All listed parts are suitable for automotive applications. The TE Connectivity 2-103672-7 is preferred for applications requiring the extended -65°C to 105°C temperature range. The Molex parts are acceptable for standard automotive environments within the -40°C to 105°C range. The JST part is suitable only if the reduced -25°C to 85°C range and 2.50mm pitch spacing are compatible with the application requirements.
