Equivalent & Substitute Parts: Molex 0416820110

Part Overview

The Molex 0416820110 is a rectangular connector header in the KK156 series, configured as a right-angle, 2-circuit connector with tin plating. This component is classified as Obsolete and is no longer in active production. The part functions as a board-level connector header for through-hole mounting applications requiring a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch configuration.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing original inventory becomes increasingly difficult. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and maintains supply chain reliability for applications currently utilizing this connector.
