DML-1-03-V-T-SMT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DML-1-03-V-T-SMT is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for surface mount applications with 3 positions at 3.00mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The shrouded 4-wall design with locking ramp fastening provides polarization and secure mating in board-to-cable/wire configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DML-1-03-V-T-SMT is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header) and contact type (Male Pin)
• Mating pitch (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Position count (3 positions, single row)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Contact material and finish (Brass with Tin plating)
• Electrical ratings (5A current, 250VAC/DC voltage)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Environmental compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The Molex 0436500324 satisfies all substitution criteria within the Micro-Fit 3.0 series, maintaining functional and electrical equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0436500324 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete DML-1-03-V-T-SMT. Selection is based on:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements matching the original specification
• Identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintained
• MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level preserved
• Enhanced insulation material (LCP glass-filled) providing superior thermal and mechanical performance compared to thermoplastic

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0436500324 be used as a direct replacement for the DML-1-03-V-T-SMT?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (3.00mm), position count (3), shrouding configuration, fastening mechanism, and electrical ratings. The Molex part maintains full functional and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the Molex substitute?

A: The Molex 0436500324 is an active product with established supply chain availability, whereas the Adam Tech DML-1-03-V-T-SMT is obsolete. This ensures procurement reliability and long-term component sourcing.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The DML-1-03-V-T-SMT packaging is not specified in the original documentation. The Molex 0436500324 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly.

Q: Do the insulation materials affect compatibility?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The Molex LCP glass-filled insulation provides enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength. No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Electrical ratings (5A, 250VAC/DC) and contact materials (brass with tin finish) are identical.
