SLW9S-1C7BLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLW9S-1C7BLF is a 9-position FPC (Flat Flexible) connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with vertical, single-sided contacts and 1.00mm pitch. This connector features a slide lock mechanism, zero insertion force (ZIF) design, and through-hole mounting. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SLW9S-1C7BLF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 9 positions at 1.00mm pitch (0.039") are mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole mounting with vertical, single-sided contact orientation
• Termination Style: Kinked pin termination for PCB insertion
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support the required thermal environment
• Compliance Standards: RoHS and REACH compliance status for regulatory alignment

The substitute part 0528060910 (Molex 52806 series) satisfies the core mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria, though with reduced electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0528060910 connector provides mechanical and form-factor compatibility with the obsolete SLW9S-1C7BLF. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination style, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

However, the substitute part exhibits reduced electrical performance specifications. The Molex connector is rated for 50V and 0.5A compared to the original 100V and 1A ratings. Additionally, the operating temperature range is narrower (-20°C ~ 80°C versus -55°C ~ 85°C). These reductions must be evaluated against the actual circuit requirements.

The Molex 0528060910 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, consistent with the original part. The substitute is actively manufactured and available in production quantities, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete Amphenol ICC connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0528060910 be used as a direct replacement for the SLW9S-1C7BLF?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed. Both connectors have 9 positions at 1.00mm pitch with through-hole, vertical single-sided contact configuration. Electrical compatibility depends on circuit requirements. If the circuit operates below 50V and 0.5A within the -20°C to 80°C temperature range, the substitute is suitable. Higher voltage, current, or temperature requirements necessitate alternative solutions.

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

A: The primary differences are electrical ratings and operating temperature range. The original SLW9S-1C7BLF supports 100V/1A across -55°C to 85°C, while the Molex substitute is rated 50V/0.5A across -20°C to 80°C. Contact material and finish also differ: the original uses phosphor bronze with gold finish; the substitute uses phosphor bronze with tin finish.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns with substitution?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The original is RoHS Compliant; the substitute is ROHS3 Compliant. Both are EAR99 classified. Regulatory compliance is maintained with this substitution.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The original SLW9S-1C7BLF packaging information is not specified. The Molex 0528060910 is supplied in Tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: How do the mating cycle ratings compare?

A: The original connector is rated for 20 mating cycles, while the Molex substitute is rated for 10 mating cycles. This indicates the original part is designed for higher mechanical durability in applications requiring frequent connector engagement and disengagement.
