MTS-05 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTS-05 is a 5-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for applications requiring free-hanging in-line receptacle connections at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in system designs where connector housing compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTS-05 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Contact Type: Female Socket configuration
• Number of Positions: Exactly 5 positions
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Number of Rows: Single row configuration
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style termination
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

The Molex 0050579305 meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications while differing in insulation material composition and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTS-05 and 0050579305 maintain active product status with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

The MTS-05 operates within -25°C to 85°C, suitable for standard industrial and consumer applications. The 0050579305 extends the operating temperature range to -40°C to 105°C, accommodating extended temperature environments. Insulation material differs between polyamide (PA66) in the MTS-05 and polyester glass-filled composition in the 0050579305, which may influence chemical resistance and mechanical properties in specific environments. Color differentiation (white versus black) is a visual distinction without functional impact on electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0050579305 directly replace the Adam Tech MTS-05 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 0050579305 is a parametric equivalent. Both housings maintain identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row count, and mounting orientation. Compatibility is confirmed at the housing interface level. Verify that the extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and alternative insulation material (polyester, glass-filled) align with your application requirements.

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

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition (polyamide versus polyester glass-filled), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 105°C), and housing color (white versus black). All critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the MTS-05 and 0050579305 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the MTS-05 and 0050579305 are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent regulatory alignment.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute for the MTS-05?

A: Substitution requires exact alignment on connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), position count (5), pitch (2.54mm), row configuration (1), mounting style (free hanging in-line), and termination method (crimp). Compliance certifications must also match or exceed the original specification.
