MTS-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTS-10 is a 10-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for receptacle applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The MTS-10 accepts female socket contacts via crimp termination and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTS-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), pitch spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility within the same application context.

The MTS-10 has two identified substitutes: the MTA-10 from Adam Tech and the 0050579010 from Molex. Both maintain identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and termination method. Variations in color, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTA-10 is the primary substitute for the MTS-10, as both components are manufactured by Adam Tech and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including insulation material composition and operating temperature range. The MTA-10 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 0050579010 from Molex serves as a parametric equivalent, maintaining all critical functional parameters while offering an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and alternative insulation material (polyester, glass filled). This substitute is suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance. Both substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1, meeting the same regulatory and environmental requirements as the original MTS-10.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MTA-10 be used as a direct replacement for the MTS-10?

A: Yes. The MTA-10 maintains identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination method, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status; the MTA-10 is active while the MTS-10 is obsolete.

Q: What are the differences between the MTA-10 and the Molex 0050579010?

A: Both maintain the same core electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0050579010 differs in color (black versus white), insulation material composition (polyester, glass filled versus polyamide), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 85°C). These differences do not affect functional compatibility in applications within the MTS-10 operating range.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The MTS-10 is listed with no specified packaging. The MTA-10 is supplied in bulk packaging, and the 0050579010 is also supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do all substitutes require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. All three housings are designed for crimp termination with female socket contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Contact compatibility is determined by pitch spacing and termination method, which remain constant across all listed parts.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Molex 0050579010 operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to the MTS-10 and MTA-10 range of -25°C to 85°C. Select this substitute if your application requires extended thermal performance.
