Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 6 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 2 — exact match required
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm) — exact match required
• Connector Type: Header — exact match required
• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — exact match required
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall — exact match required
• Termination: Solder — exact match required
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C — exact match required
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — exact match required

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in contact material, insulation material composition, and specific contact post dimensions do not preclude substitution when all primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. The Molex 0430450600 and TE Connectivity 3-794618-6 share identical insulation height and contact finish specifications. The Amphenol ICC 10127720-061LF offers the highest inventory availability at 8,910 pieces and maintains full voltage compatibility at 600VAC/DC. The TE Connectivity part provides the largest inventory reserve at 16,271 pieces. Selection should prioritize supply chain availability and lead time requirements, as all parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 10127720-061LF directly replace the Molex 0430450600 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.118"), position count (6), row configuration (2), mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), and termination method (solder). The 0.001" difference in contact post length (3.20mm vs. 3.18mm) and 0.012" difference in insulation height (7.25mm vs. 7.37mm) fall within standard PCB tolerance ranges for through-hole applications.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference between the TE Connectivity 3-794618-6 and the Molex 0430450600?

A: The TE Connectivity part is rated at 250V, while the Molex part is rated at 600V. For applications requiring 600V operation, the Molex 0430450600 or Amphenol ICC 10127720-061LF must be used. The TE Connectivity part is suitable for applications operating at or below 250V.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filler. The Amphenol ICC part uses LCP without glass filler. The TE Connectivity part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. All three materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Q: Do all three parts have the same current rating?

A: The Molex 0430450600 specifies 8A. The Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity parts specify current ratings that vary by wire gauge. Verify wire gauge specifications for your application to confirm current capacity.

Q: Are there REACH compliance differences?

A: The Molex part lists REACH status as REACH Unaffected. The Amphenol ICC part lists REACH Affected. The TE Connectivity part lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Confirm REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all three parts?

A: All three parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
