Molex 0190160004 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0190160004 is a 0.110" (2.79mm) Quick Connect Female crimp connector designed for 18-22 AWG wire applications. This non-insulated terminal is part of the Krimptite series and is classified as Active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when identical or functionally compatible electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part is unavailable, discontinued, or when alternative sourcing is necessary to meet project requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0190160004 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Tab Width: 0.110" (2.79mm) — ensures mechanical fit with mating connectors
• Tab Thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm) — maintains contact pressure and electrical performance
• Tab Length: 0.250" (6.35mm) — determines insertion depth and retention
• Wire Gauge: 18-22 AWG — defines current-carrying capacity and crimp barrel dimensions
• Gender: Female — specifies connector orientation
• Termination: Crimp — indicates assembly method compatibility
• Insulation: Non-Insulated — confirms terminal type classification
• Contact Material: Brass — establishes electrical conductivity baseline

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 60197-1 qualifies as a substitute because it matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0190160004 and TE Connectivity 60197-1 are Active product status components with established compliance certifications. The Molex part carries ROHS3 Compliant status, while the TE Connectivity substitute is RoHS Compliant. Both parts meet EAR99 export classification requirements and fall under the same HTSUS commodity code 8536.90.4000.

The primary difference between these parts is overall length: the Molex part measures 0.570" (14.48mm) while the TE Connectivity substitute measures 0.635" (16.13mm). This variation does not affect the critical electrical and mechanical parameters that determine functional compatibility in quick connect terminal applications. Both parts are suitable for 18-22 AWG wire termination with identical tab dimensions and crimp specifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and application-specific space constraints where overall length is a design consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes TE Connectivity 60197-1 a valid substitute for Molex 0190160004?

A: The TE Connectivity part matches all critical parameters: tab width (0.110"), tab thickness (0.032"), tab length (0.250"), wire gauge (18-22 AWG), gender (Female), termination method (Crimp), insulation type (Non-Insulated), and contact material (Brass). These parameters define functional compatibility in quick connect terminal applications.

Q: Does the difference in overall length affect compatibility?

A: Overall length (0.570" versus 0.635") does not affect electrical performance or mating compatibility. This dimension should be evaluated only if space constraints exist in the specific application assembly.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0190160004 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the TE Connectivity 60197-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format does not affect terminal performance but may influence procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and are classified under HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. The Molex part is ROHS3 Compliant while the TE Connectivity part is RoHS Compliant. Both meet Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the overall length variation (0.065" difference) does not create space constraints in the application. The identical tab dimensions and crimp specifications ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability in quick connect terminal circuits.
