Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0442480096 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6p4c RJ11/RJ14)
• Port count (4)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Orientation (90° Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shielding presence (Shielded with EMI Finger)
• Contact finish (Gold plating at 50.0µin thickness)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)

The Stewart Connector SS-664604S-A-PG4-AC-50 meets all these critical substitution criteria. Minor differences in housing material composition and mechanical features (tab direction, board lock versus board guide) do not affect electrical or functional compatibility for standard modular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Stewart Connector SS-664604S-A-PG4-AC-50 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0442480096. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 6p4c modular jack applications with right-angle through-hole mounting and solder termination.

Selection of the Stewart Connector substitute is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original component's regulatory posture
• Identical contact finish specification (gold plating at 50.0µin) and operating temperature range
• Equivalent shielding and EMI finger design for signal integrity in Cat3 applications
• Matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications for export and tariff purposes

The substitute maintains functional compatibility across all critical parameters required for direct replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Stewart Connector SS-664604S-A-PG4-AC-50 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0442480096?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration (6p4c), port count, mounting method, orientation, termination, shielding, contact finish, and operating temperature range. The Stewart Connector is functionally equivalent for modular jack applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are non-functional: the Molex uses phosphor bronze contacts while the Stewart uses copper alloy; the Molex features board lock while the Stewart features board guide; and the Molex has tab direction up while the Stewart has tab direction down. These differences do not affect electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0442480096 and Stewart Connector SS-664604S-A-PG4-AC-50 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-664604S-A-PG4-AC-50 is supplied in tray packaging, compared to the original Molex component's unspecified packaging format.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both components operate across -40°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial applications.

Q: What contact finish thickness is specified for both connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold contact finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical contact characteristics and corrosion resistance.
