Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 826955-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 12
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0901220126 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. This part maintains identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. Both connectors employ solder termination with push-pull fastening and square contact geometry. Compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ensures functional equivalence in standard operating environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0901220126 rectangular connector header is a functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 826955-6. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position configuration, mounting orientation, and contact geometry. The substitute part maintains compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

The Molex 0901220126 holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and defined REACH status, meeting current regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing environments where such compliance is mandated.

Physical dimensional variations exist between the two connectors, including contact length and insulation height differences. These variations result from different design approaches within the same functional class. The Molex part features a thicker tin contact finish (4.00µm versus 2.00µm), providing enhanced corrosion resistance. Contact material differs (brass versus copper alloy), and insulation material composition varies (polyester glass-filled versus PBT).

Selection of the Molex 0901220126 as a replacement for the TE Connectivity 826955-6 is appropriate for applications requiring active product status, current compliance certifications, and standard operating conditions within the specified temperature and current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0901220126 directly replace the TE Connectivity 826955-6 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0901220126 maintains identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (through-hole right-angle). Both connectors employ solder termination with push-pull fastening. Physical dimensional differences exist in contact length and insulation height. PCB layout compatibility depends on specific footprint requirements and mating connector specifications in the original design.

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

A: Primary differences include contact material (brass versus copper alloy), insulation material (polyester glass-filled versus PBT), contact finish thickness (4.00µm versus 2.00µm), and physical dimensions. The Molex part features longer mating contact length (0.266" versus 0.228") and greater insulation height (0.242" versus 0.219"). The TE Connectivity part has longer post length (0.126" versus 0.114").

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 826955-6 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The Molex 0901220126 provides functional equivalence for applications previously served by the TE Connectivity part, offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: The Molex 0901220126 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and defined REACH status. The TE Connectivity 826955-6 shows "Not applicable" for RoHS status and "Vendor Undefined" for REACH status. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

Q: What packaging format is available for the Molex substitute?

A: The Molex 0901220126 is supplied in tray packaging. The original TE Connectivity part packaging information is not specified in the available data.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges equivalent?

A: The TE Connectivity 826955-6 specifies operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Operating temperature data for the Molex 0901220126 is not provided in the available specifications.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications compare?

A: Both connectors feature tin contact finish on mating and post surfaces. The Molex part specifies 4.00µm (157.5µin) finish thickness on mating contacts, compared to 2.00µm (78.7µin) for the TE Connectivity part. Thicker finish provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in extended service life applications.
