TE Connectivity 7-353908-0 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 7-353908-0 is a 10-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 1.50mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as an active product and serves as the housing element in Mini CT series connector assemblies. The receptacle housing accepts crimp-terminated female socket contacts and is constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon material rated for operating temperatures between -30°C and 105°C.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connector housings share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact termination method, and insulation material properties. Alternative sources provide equivalent functionality while maintaining compatibility with the same contact systems and assembly requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 7-353908-0 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Position Count and Pitch: All substitutes maintain 10 positions at 0.059" (1.50mm) pitch, ensuring direct compatibility with the same contact systems
• Connector Configuration: All substitutes are single-row receptacle housings with free-hanging in-line mounting
• Contact Termination: All substitutes use crimp termination, maintaining assembly process compatibility
• Insulation Material: All substitutes use polyamide (PA66) nylon material, ensuring equivalent mechanical and thermal properties
• Moisture Sensitivity: All substitutes maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity requirements
• Regulatory Compliance: All substitutes maintain RoHS compliance status

Variations in housing color and operating temperature ranges do not prevent substitution when all other parameters remain equivalent. The substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are functionally interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector receptacle housings listed maintain active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements. The 7-353908-0 and 1-353908-0 are both TE Connectivity Mini CT series components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in housing color. Both support the full operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

The ZHR-10 from JST Sales America is a JST ZH series equivalent that maintains all critical parametric specifications. This part operates within a narrower temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status. The ZHR-10 is suitable for applications where the reduced temperature range is acceptable.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements regarding operating temperature range, housing color specifications, and preferred connector series compatibility. All three parts are functionally equivalent for crimp termination assembly and contact mating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-353908-0 directly replace the 7-353908-0?

A: Yes. Both parts are TE Connectivity Mini CT series receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is housing color (white versus blue). Direct substitution is supported for all electrical and assembly applications.

Q: Is the JST ZHR-10 compatible with TE Connectivity Mini CT contacts?

A: The ZHR-10 is a parametric equivalent receptacle housing with the same 10-position, 1.50mm pitch configuration and crimp termination method. However, it belongs to the JST ZH series. Compatibility with specific contact systems depends on contact design and mating interface specifications, which are not included in this reference. Verify contact compatibility with the connector system documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature difference between the TE parts and the JST part?

A: The 7-353908-0 and 1-353908-0 operate from -30°C to 105°C, while the ZHR-10 operates from -25°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 85°C must use the TE Connectivity parts. For applications within the -25°C to 85°C range, all three parts are suitable.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 7-353908-0 carries RoHS compliance status. The 1-353908-0 and ZHR-10 both carry ROHS3 compliance status, which represents an updated RoHS certification standard. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the 1.50mm pitch and crimp termination specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers 353908 and ZHR?

A: The base product number identifies the connector series and design family. 353908 is the TE Connectivity Mini CT series base number, while ZHR is the JST ZH series base number. These represent different manufacturer product lines with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for this particular housing configuration.

Q: Can housing color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic specification that does not affect electrical performance, impedance, or signal integrity. Color selection is based on application identification, assembly documentation, or customer preference requirements.
