TE Connectivity 770602-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 770602-8 is an 8-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This component belongs to the CST-100 series and features crimp contact termination with locking ramp fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 770602-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (8), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), and fastening type (locking ramp). All identified substitute parts satisfy these core requirements, enabling direct replacement in applications originally designed for the 770602-8. Variations in color, insulation material, operating temperature range, and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability when these primary parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1375820-8 (CST-100 II Series)

This part is a direct manufacturer equivalent from TE Connectivity, classified as active product status. It maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the 770602-8. The part carries RoHS3 compliance certification and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The white color variant and polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation material represent the primary differentiators. This substitute is suitable for applications where TE Connectivity component continuity is required.

TE Connectivity 102241-6 (AMPMODU Mod IV Series)

This part is a parametric equivalent from TE Connectivity, classified as active product status. All core connector parameters match the 770602-8 specification. The part carries RoHS3 compliance certification and operates across an extended temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The black color variant and polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation material are the distinguishing characteristics. This substitute provides enhanced low-temperature performance capability.

Molex 0901560148 (C-Grid III 90156 Series)

This part is a parametric equivalent from Molex, classified as active product status. All core connector parameters match the 770602-8 specification. The part carries RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status. It operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The black color variant and polyphenylene oxide (PPO) insulation material distinguish this option. This substitute provides cross-manufacturer compatibility for applications permitting multi-source component strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1375820-8 directly replace the 770602-8 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1375820-8 maintains identical specifications for connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, mounting type, contact termination, and fastening type. The color difference (white versus natural) does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 102241-6 and the Molex 0901560148?

A: Both parts satisfy all core connector parameters. The 102241-6 uses polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation with an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The 0901560148 uses polyphenylene oxide (PPO) insulation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Selection depends on temperature requirements and material compatibility specifications for the application.

Q: Are contacts included with these substitute parts?

A: No. All parts listed—the main part 770602-8 and all substitutes (1375820-8, 102241-6, 0901560148)—are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with the housing purchase.

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

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can I use the Molex 0901560148 in applications originally specified for TE Connectivity connectors?

A: Yes, provided the application design permits cross-manufacturer component substitution. The Molex 0901560148 satisfies all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement. Verify that system-level specifications do not mandate single-source component requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1375820-8, TE Connectivity 102241-6, and Molex 0901560148 are all available in bulk packaging. The original 770602-8 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 1375820-8 and 102241-6 carry RoHS3 compliance certification. The Molex 0901560148 carries RoHS3 compliance certification with REACH Unaffected status. The original 770602-8 RoHS status was not specified in the technical data.
