Molex 0009624039 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0009624039 is a 3-position receptacle connector with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector is part of the KK396 and 2145 series and is classified as obsolete. The part features gold-plated mating contacts, tin-plated posts, and board hooks for mechanical retention. Due to its obsolete status, identifying active equivalent parts is essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0009485035 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0009624039 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 3-position receptacle connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch & Mating Dimensions: Identical 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Matching 5A current rating and 600V voltage rating
• Contact Materials & Finish: Both feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (15.0µin) and tin post finish (100.0µin)
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -40°C ~ 105°C specification
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The primary distinction is product status: the 0009624039 is obsolete, while the 0009485035 is active. The 0009485035 represents the current production equivalent within the KK396 series family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0009485035 is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the 0009624039. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters. The 0009485035 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and are suitable for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The transition from the obsolete 0009624039 to the 0009485035 presents no functional or performance trade-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0009624039 and 0009485035 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.156"), mounting type (through-hole), insulation height (0.449"), contact length (0.120"), and fastening mechanism (locking ramp). They are direct mechanical replacements.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 5A current and 600V voltage with identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 105°C).

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (0009624039 is obsolete; 0009485035 is active), insulation color (white vs. natural), insulation material (polyamide/nylon vs. polyester), material flammability rating (UL94 V-2 vs. UL94 V-0), and packaging format. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 0009485035 in place of the 0009624039 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0009485035 is a direct functional equivalent and can be used as a drop-in replacement without design modifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0009624039 and 0009485035 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 0009485035 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production quantities.
