Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5-146220-2 (Primary Part) The main part maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability. RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating support regulatory requirements across industrial and consumer applications. The specified 3A current rating and 30VAC voltage rating define the electrical operating envelope.

Molex 0751020043 This substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible with the main part across all critical parameters. However, the part is listed as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which may impact long-term availability. The Press-Fit termination option provides additional assembly flexibility beyond the solder-only main part. Electrical ratings are not specified in available documentation. Applications include Automotive, General Purpose, Lighting, Medical, and Telecommunications.

Mill-Max 802-10-010-10-001000 This substitute maintains Active product status and meets all primary matching criteria. The contact shape differs (Circular versus Square), and the insulation material is PCT rather than Thermoplastic. The post contact finish is Gold rather than Tin. Material flammability rating is not specified. This part is suitable for applications where the mechanical and electrical parameters align with design requirements.

Sullins PBC05DAAN This substitute is Active with the highest inventory availability (11,061 pieces). The operating temperature range extends to -125°C, exceeding the main part specification. Current rating matches at 3A. The contact material is Phosphor Bronze rather than Copper Alloy. Moisture Sensitivity Level is Not Applicable, indicating different handling requirements. This part is recommended for applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0751020043 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 5-146220-2?

A: The Molex 0751020043 meets all primary mechanical and electrical matching criteria including pitch, position count, row spacing, contact type, mounting method, and fastening type. However, the Molex part is listed as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which may affect procurement for new designs or long-term production requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the contact shapes in these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146220-2 and Sullins PBC05DAAN feature Square contact shapes, while the Mill-Max 802-10-010-10-001000 uses Circular contacts. Both shapes are compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications, but the specific contact geometry may influence mating force and contact resistance characteristics.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all identified substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certification. The TE Connectivity main part is RoHS Compliant, while the Molex, Mill-Max, and Sullins parts are ROHS3 Compliant, indicating compliance with the updated RoHS 3 directive.

Q: Which substitute part has the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Sullins PBC05DAAN operates from -65°C to 125°C, extending 20°C above the TE Connectivity main part specification of -65°C to 105°C. The Molex and Mill-Max parts do not specify operating temperature ranges in available documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146220-2, Molex 0751020043, and Mill-Max 802-10-010-10-001000 all carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. The Sullins PBC05DAAN is rated Not Applicable, indicating different moisture handling protocols specific to that product.

Q: Can the Mill-Max 802-10-010-10-001000 be used in cable applications?

A: The Mill-Max part is specified for Board to Board style applications only, whereas the TE Connectivity main part and other substitutes support Board to Board or Cable configurations. This distinction may limit the Mill-Max part's applicability in cable interconnect designs.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these connectors?

A: All parts feature Gold mating surface finish for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The post finish varies: TE Connectivity, Molex, and Sullins use Tin, while Mill-Max uses Gold. The contact finish thickness also varies across manufacturers, which may influence long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Inventory availability varies significantly. The Sullins PBC05DAAN has the highest availability at 11,061 pieces, followed by Molex at 1,249 pieces and Mill-Max at 1,151 pieces. The TE Connectivity main part has 825 pieces in stock. Availability should be verified with current distributors for production requirements.

Q: What is the primary reason to select the Sullins PBC05DAAN over the main part?

A: The Sullins PBC05DAAN is selected when extended operating temperature performance (-65°C to 125°C) is required, when higher inventory availability is critical, or when Phosphor Bronze contact material is preferred for specific application requirements.
