Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0459714315 connector qualifies as a direct substitute for the ASP-134485-01 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are high-density array female connectors
• Position Count: Both feature 400 positions
• Pitch: Both maintain 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing
• Row Configuration: Both have 10 rows
• Mounting Technology: Both are surface mount designs
• Contact Finish: Both use gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Height Above Board: Both measure 0.258" (6.55mm)
• Compliance: Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The Molex part provides additional mated stacking height options (8.5mm through 14.6mm) and includes a board guide feature, offering enhanced mechanical flexibility for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ASP-134485-01 and 0459714315 are Active product status connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for core interface parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on:

ASP-134485-01 (Samtec): Select when the original design specification requires the Samtec ASP series or when inventory availability is prioritized.

0459714315 (Molex): Select when mated stacking height flexibility is required for the application, as this part offers seven discrete stacking height options. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and export classification (EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both connectors have identical position counts (400), pitch spacing (0.050"), row configuration (10), and contact finish specifications (gold, 30.0µin thickness), ensuring electrical compatibility in equivalent circuit applications.

Q: What is the significance of mated stacking heights? A: Mated stacking height defines the distance between mating connector surfaces when fully engaged. The Molex 0459714315 offers multiple stacking height options (8.5mm to 14.6mm), providing design flexibility for applications with specific board-to-board spacing requirements. The ASP-134485-01 does not specify multiple stacking height options.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both the ASP-134485-01 and 0459714315 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Q: What packaging formats are available? A: The ASP-134485-01 is supplied in Strip packaging. The 0459714315 is available in both Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging formats.

Q: Do these connectors share the same footprint? A: Yes. Both connectors have identical height above board (0.258" / 6.55mm) and 400-position 10-row configuration at 0.050" pitch, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.
