DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for surface mount applications with 14 positions arranged in 2 rows 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 part features shrouded 4-wall construction with solder termination and locking ramp fastening, suitable for board-to-cable/wire connections in applications requiring 5A current capacity at 250VAC/DC.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector geometry: 14 positions, 2 rows, 3.00mm pitch, 3.00mm row spacing
• Mounting and termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Mechanical interface: Shrouded 4-wall construction with locking ramp fastening
• Electrical performance: Contact type (male pin), contact shape (square), and insulation height (9.91mm)
• Environmental compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part 0430451420 (Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 43045) meets all these critical parameters. Both parts share identical mating pitch, row configuration, shrouding design, and termination method. The substitute maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical interfaces required for direct replacement in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0430451420 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical contact configurations, and environmental certifications required for board-to-cable/wire connector applications.

The substitute part offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C) and higher voltage rating (600V versus 250VAC/DC), providing enhanced performance margins for applications within the original design envelope. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

The Molex part is currently in active production status with established supply availability, addressing the procurement challenges associated with the obsolete Adam Tech component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0430451420 be used as a direct replacement for the DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (3.00mm), position count (14 in 2 rows), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and termination method (solder with locking ramp). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in existing designs.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and performance specifications. The DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT is obsolete, while the Molex 0430451420 is in active production. The Molex part features an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and higher voltage rating (600V), both of which exceed the original part's specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT packaging is not specified in available documentation. The Molex 0430451420 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount production environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT and Molex 0430451420 are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both have MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The DML-14-A-V-T-TSMT specifies 5A (AC/DC). The Molex 0430451420 current rating varies by wire gauge, which is typical for connectors designed to accommodate multiple conductor sizes within the same housing.
