Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 0430450600 is functionally equivalent to the main part 0430455600 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical pitch spacing: 0.118" (3.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Identical position count: 6 positions in 2-row configuration
• Identical connector type: Header with male pin contacts
• Identical mounting: Through hole, right-angle orientation
• Identical shrouding: Shrouded 4-wall design
• Identical electrical ratings: 8A current, 600V voltage
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Identical contact material and finish: Brass alloy with tin plating
• Identical insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), glass filled
• Identical fastening mechanism: Locking ramp
• Identical compliance: UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliant

The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, with improved inventory availability (1158 pcs vs. 911 pcs).

Parameter Comparison
