TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-146305-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-146305-9 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 9-position connector operates at 3A current rating with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is part of the AMPMODU Mod II series. The connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, with an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The product maintains Active status and RoHS compliance. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific packaging or material requirements necessitate component substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors in the 9-position, 2.54mm pitch category is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for equivalency include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions (9)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Current rating (3A minimum)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part PEC09SBAN from Sullins Connector Solutions satisfies all critical matching parameters. Variations in contact finish materials, insulation materials, and operating temperature upper limits do not preclude substitution when the application requirements fall within the specified ranges of both components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 5-146305-9 and Sullins PEC09SBAN connectors are Active products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and RoHS compliance certifications. Selection between these components is based on application-specific requirements and availability constraints.

TE Connectivity 5-146305-9 is appropriate for applications requiring:

• Gold-plated mating contacts for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Copper alloy contact material specifications
• Glass-filled thermoplastic insulation
• Operating temperatures up to 105°C
• Tray packaging format

Sullins PEC09SBAN is appropriate for applications requiring:

• Tin-plated mating contacts
• Phosphor bronze contact material specifications
• Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation
• Operating temperatures up to 125°C
• Bulk packaging format
• ROHS3 compliance certification

Both components satisfy the core electrical requirements of 3A current rating, 9-position configuration, 2.54mm pitch, and through-hole right-angle mounting. The differences in contact finish materials, insulation composition, and maximum operating temperature do not affect substitution eligibility when application parameters remain within the overlapping operational envelope of -65°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PEC09SBAN be used as a direct replacement for 5-146305-9 in all applications?

A: The PEC09SBAN functions as an equivalent substitute when application requirements fall within the overlapping operating parameters. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (9), current rating (3A), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Applications operating at temperatures between -65°C and 105°C can use either component. Applications requiring gold-plated mating contacts or glass-filled thermoplastic insulation specifically should use the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include contact finish materials (gold versus tin on mating surfaces), contact base materials (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), insulation materials (glass-filled thermoplastic versus PBT), mating contact length (0.318" versus 0.230"), and maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 125°C). The Sullins part also features ROHS3 compliance and bulk packaging, while the TE Connectivity part uses tray packaging.

Q: Does the difference in mating contact length affect compatibility?

A: The mating contact length difference (0.318" for TE Connectivity versus 0.230" for Sullins) reflects design variations between manufacturers. Both lengths are within acceptable ranges for standard 2.54mm pitch header applications. Compatibility depends on the mating connector specifications and PCB design requirements. Verify that the receiving connector accommodates the contact length of the selected header.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5-146305-9 is RoHS Compliant. The Sullins PEC09SBAN is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent revision of the RoHS standard. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146305-9 is supplied in Tray packaging. The Sullins PEC09SBAN is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may influence inventory management, handling procedures, and cost considerations for high-volume applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications above 105°C?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146305-9 is rated to 105°C maximum. For applications requiring operation above 105°C up to 125°C, the Sullins PEC09SBAN is the appropriate selection. For applications exceeding 125°C, alternative connector families must be evaluated.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences?

A: The TE Connectivity part features gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin thickness), which provide superior corrosion resistance and are preferred in harsh environments or applications with infrequent mating cycles. The Sullins part features tin-plated mating contacts (100.0µin thickness), which provide adequate corrosion protection for standard industrial applications. Both finishes support the 3A current rating and are suitable for general-purpose board-to-board or cable connections.
