Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0436501002 is a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 3-1445097-0 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Consideration: The TE Connectivity 3-1445097-0 is classified as obsolete. The Molex 0436501002 is classified as active, providing ongoing availability and manufacturing support for new designs and replacement applications.

Compliance & Certification Alignment: Both connectors meet identical flammability standards (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity classifications (MSL 1). The Molex part maintains RoHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the TE Connectivity part. Both components share identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.69.4040).

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters including contact type, pitch, contact finish specifications, and voltage rating are equivalent. Mechanical parameters including mounting orientation, shrouding configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism are identical.

Series Compatibility: The TE Connectivity part belongs to the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, while the Molex part belongs to the Micro-Fit 3.0 43650 series. Both series employ identical 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch spacing and compatible connector geometries suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436501002 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 3-1445097-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0436501002 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the TE Connectivity 3-1445097-0. Both connectors feature identical 10-position, single-row configurations with 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch spacing, matching contact materials, finishes, and shrouding specifications. The connectors are compatible with the same mating receptacles and cable assemblies.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and product status. The TE Connectivity 3-1445097-0 is obsolete, while the Molex 0436501002 is active. The Molex part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation material compared to the TE Connectivity part's Polyamide (PA) nylon insulation. The Molex part has a slightly higher insulation height (0.172" versus 0.152") and contact post length (0.125" versus 0.114"). These dimensional variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 3-1445097-0 packaging specification is not provided. The Molex 0436501002 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range, meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Both are RoHS compliant and share identical export classification and tariff codes.

Q: What applications are suitable for these rectangular connectors?

A: Both connectors are designed for general-purpose board-to-cable/wire applications. The Molex 0436501002 is additionally specified for medical, military, and telecommunications applications, indicating broader environmental qualification.

Q: How do the contact specifications compare?

A: Both connectors feature brass contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces (30.0µin thickness) and tin-plated posts (100.0µin thickness). Contact shape, material composition, and finish specifications are identical, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and signal integrity.

Q: Is the 250V voltage rating maintained in the Molex substitute?

A: The Molex 0436501002 voltage rating is not specified in the provided data. However, both connectors share identical contact materials, finishes, and insulation flammability ratings, which are the primary determinants of voltage capability in rectangular connector designs. The connectors are suitable for equivalent voltage applications.
