Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0190170029 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Tab Width: 0.110" (2.79mm) — mechanical fit requirement
Tab Thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm) — contact pressure and retention
Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG — current-carrying capacity and crimp compatibility
Gender: Female — connector interface requirement
Termination: Crimp — assembly method compatibility
Insulation: Non-Mating End Insulated — electrical safety specification
Contact Material: Brass — electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 640931-2 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical tab dimensions, wire gauge rating, gender classification, and termination method. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 640931-2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0190170029. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align precisely between the two parts. The substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The TE Connectivity part carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete Molex component.

Minor dimensional variations in overall length (0.800" versus 0.789") and insulation diameter (0.170" versus 0.140") fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for quick-connect terminal applications and do not affect functional performance or mechanical fit in standard connector housings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes TE Connectivity 640931-2 a valid substitute for Molex 0190170029?

A: Both parts share identical tab width (0.110"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), gender (Female), termination method (Crimp), and insulation specification (Non-Mating End Insulated). These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility in quick-connect terminal applications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Overall length differs by 0.011" (0.28mm) and insulation diameter by 0.030" (0.76mm). These variations are within acceptable tolerance for terminal applications and do not affect connector housing compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect performance?

A: Both Electro-Tin (Molex) and Tin (TE Connectivity) finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for 14-16 AWG crimp terminal applications. Contact finish selection does not impact substitution eligibility.

Q: Why is product status relevant to substitution?

A: The Molex part is Obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The TE Connectivity substitute carries Active status, ensuring reliable supply chain access and ongoing technical support.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0190170029 and TE Connectivity 640931-2 are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is the substitute available in?

A: The TE Connectivity 640931-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, standard for terminal component distribution.
