• Orientation: 90° angle (right)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Gold (50.0µin / 1.27µm)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original design while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6339169-3 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Molex 0432498519. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, contact geometry, and thermal operating ranges. The substitute part carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (2200 units), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

The TE Connectivity part incorporates an EMI finger in addition to standard shielding, providing enhanced electromagnetic interference suppression. The housing material differs (PCT/Polyester versus Polyamide/Nylon), but both materials meet the same thermal and mechanical requirements for this application class.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6339169-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0432498519?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical contact configurations (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right angle), termination method (solder), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The electrical and mechanical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference in shielding between the two parts?

A: The Molex part provides standard shielding. The TE Connectivity substitute includes both shielding and an EMI finger, which provides additional electromagnetic interference suppression. This enhancement does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in housing material that affect performance?

A: The Molex part uses glass-filled polyamide (nylon), while the TE Connectivity part uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) polyester. Both materials support the same operating temperature range and mechanical requirements for modular connector applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The Molex part packaging is not specified in available data. The TE Connectivity 6339169-3 is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0432498519 and TE Connectivity 6339169-3 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
