MTB-08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTB-08 is an 8-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for receptacle applications with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as a free-hanging, in-line connector with crimp termination and locking ramp fastening. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring standard rectangular connector housings.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when inventory optimization is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTB-08 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.156" / 3.96mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3)
• MSL rating (1 or equivalent)

The Molex 0430610008 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts share identical connector topology, position count, pitch spacing, and termination characteristics. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) are equivalent across both components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTB-08 and 0430610008 are active production components with equivalent compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Insulation material compatibility with the application environment (Polyamide PA66 for MTB-08; Polyester Glass Filled for 0430610008)
• Operating temperature range requirements (MTB-08: -25°C to 85°C; 0430610008: 0°C to 75°C)
• Color specification needs (White for MTB-08; Natural for 0430610008)
• Cost and procurement considerations

Both components satisfy ROHS3, REACH, and EAR99 regulatory requirements. MSL ratings are equivalent, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0430610008 directly replace the Adam Tech MTB-08 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 0430610008 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical connector topology, pitch spacing, position count, and termination characteristics. Compatibility is confirmed at the housing level. Verify that the operating temperature range and insulation material properties align with your specific application requirements.

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

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition (Polyamide PA66 versus Polyester Glass Filled), operating temperature ranges (-25°C to 85°C versus 0°C to 75°C), and housing color (White versus Natural). All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the MTB-08 and 0430610008 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. MSL ratings are equivalent at Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it critical for substitution?

A: Both parts feature 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing. Pitch is a critical substitution parameter because it determines physical alignment with mating connectors and PCB layouts. Any deviation in pitch specification prevents direct substitution.
