Primary Matching Criteria (Non-Negotiable):

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 46
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Number of Positions Loaded: All

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (required for signal integrity and corrosion resistance)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (required for safety compliance)
• Insulation Color: Black (standard for identification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required for storage and handling compatibility)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 4-103149-0-23 meets all primary matching criteria and secondary compatibility parameters, establishing it as a valid functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-103149-0-23 is functionally equivalent to the Molex 0010892466 based on matching connector architecture, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. Both parts share identical primary electrical and mechanical specifications required for board-to-board interconnection.

Compliance Considerations:

The Molex 0010892466 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-23 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the Molex part maintains compliance advantage. For applications without RoHS mandates, the TE Connectivity part remains functionally suitable.

Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting equivalent handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-23 a valid substitute for the Molex 0010892466?

A: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (46), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact type (male pin). These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility for board-to-board interconnection. Both employ gold-plated mating contacts and UL94 V-0 insulation materials.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The TE Connectivity part has a contact mating length of 0.230" (5.84mm) versus the Molex 0.240" (6.10mm), and insulation height of 0.238" (6.05mm) versus 0.200" (5.08mm). These differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications but should be verified against specific PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The Molex 0010892466 is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-23 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives (EU markets, certain automotive standards), the Molex part is required. For applications without RoHS mandates, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The Molex 0010892466 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-23 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C. For applications requiring confirmed temperature specifications, the TE Connectivity part provides explicit operating range documentation.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: The Molex part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts while the TE Connectivity part uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials support equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance when combined with gold plating. Contact material differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The Molex 0010892466 shows 711 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-23 shows 764 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both parts are currently available for procurement despite their obsolete or discontinued product status designations.
