Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current Rating: 3A minimum
• Voltage Rating: 250V minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 85°C minimum

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Number of Positions: 9 positions
• Pitch - Mating: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Shrouding: Shrouded configuration

Compliance Requirements:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution with the TE Connectivity 440053-9. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, mounting orientation, contact type, and fastening mechanism. Electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges are equivalent. Both products maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 440053-9 and Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on availability, inventory levels, and specific design requirements.

TE Connectivity 440053-9 is the primary specification. This connector features 3-wall shrouding and press-fit termination with a contact post length of 0.134" (3.40mm). Current inventory availability is 859 pieces.

Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR serves as a direct substitute. This connector features 4-wall shrouding and kinked pin termination with a contact post length of 0.130" (3.30mm). Current inventory availability is 2929 pieces. The increased shrouding provides enhanced mechanical protection, while the kinked pin termination offers alternative board mounting characteristics. The 0.004" (0.10mm) difference in contact post length falls within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole applications.

Both connectors maintain identical electrical performance across current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature specifications. Both are compliant with ROHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR replace the TE Connectivity 440053-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.098" / 2.50mm), position count (9), mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle), contact type (male pin), and fastening mechanism (friction lock). Electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges are equivalent. The primary design consideration is the 0.004" difference in contact post length and the difference in shrouding configuration (3-wall versus 4-wall).

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

A: Press-fit termination (TE Connectivity 440053-9) uses a straight pin that is pressed into plated through-holes. Kinked pin termination (Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR) uses a pin with a bend that provides mechanical retention during soldering. Both termination methods are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly and solder attachment.

Q: Does the 4-wall shrouding on the Adam Tech part affect compatibility?

A: The 4-wall shrouding on the Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR provides additional mechanical protection compared to the 3-wall shrouding on the TE Connectivity 440053-9. This does not affect electrical compatibility. Physical clearance around the connector on the PCB should be verified during design layout to accommodate the increased shrouding dimensions.

Q: Are both parts compliant with automotive and medical applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 440053-9 is specified for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and medical applications. The Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR does not list specific applications in the provided data. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability certification, and MSL 1 rating. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific end-use requirements and any additional certifications required by the application.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the connector has unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. No special moisture control or baking procedures are required prior to assembly. Both the TE Connectivity 440053-9 and Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR carry this rating.

Q: How do the voltage ratings compare?

A: The TE Connectivity 440053-9 is rated at 250V. The Adam Tech 25SH-C-09-TR is rated at 250VAC. Both ratings are equivalent for standard AC and DC applications within the 250V specification. The "AC" designation on the Adam Tech part indicates the voltage rating is specified for alternating current, though the connector is suitable for both AC and DC applications at or below this voltage.
