Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0039306062 with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1586037-6 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 6-position, 2-row headers with identical 0.165" (4.20mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting and Termination: Both use through-hole solder termination with locking ramp fastening
• Physical Compatibility: Both feature shrouded 4-wall design with square contact shape and identical insulation height of 0.504" (12.80mm)
• Contact Post Length: Both maintain 0.138" (4.60mm) contact post length
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-2 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level
• Material Composition: Both use brass-based contact material with tin finish and polyamide/nylon insulation

The TE Connectivity 1586037-6 (VAL-U-LOK series) provides functional equivalence to the Molex Mini-Fit Jr 5566 series connector for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0039306062 and TE Connectivity 1586037-6 are active products with identical regulatory compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and Lead Time: The TE Connectivity 1586037-6 is available in bulk packaging with 2400 pieces in stock, while the Molex 0039306062 is available in tray packaging with 933 pieces in stock
• Compliance Requirements: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-2 flammability standards, suitable for industrial and telecommunications applications
• Electrical Performance: The TE Connectivity part specifies operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and current/voltage ratings of 9A at 600VAC, providing defined electrical parameters for system design
• Supply Chain Considerations: Both manufacturers provide equivalent connector solutions with identical mechanical and electrical interfaces for board-to-cable/wire applications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1586037-6 directly replace the Molex 0039306062 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.165"/4.20mm), row spacing, contact post length (0.138"/4.60mm), insulation height (0.504"/12.80mm), and fastening mechanism (locking ramp). The 6-position, 2-row configuration and through-hole solder termination are identical. Physical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector series?

A: The Molex 0039306062 belongs to the Mini-Fit Jr 5566 series, while the TE Connectivity 1586037-6 belongs to the VAL-U-LOK series. Contact finish thickness differs slightly (100.0µin for Molex versus 80.0µin for TE Connectivity). The TE Connectivity part provides specified operating temperature (-40°C to 105°C) and electrical ratings (9A, 600VAC), while the Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0039306062 is supplied in tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity 1586037-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects inventory management and order quantities but does not impact connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-2 rated, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both have MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level and identical HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040).

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: The Molex 0039306062 is specified for general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The TE Connectivity 1586037-6 is specified for general purpose, industrial, and lighting applications. Both are suitable for board-to-cable/wire interconnections in these application domains.
