Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0473270001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification as battery contact
• 4-position contact configuration
• Surface mount mounting technology
• Gold contact finish for electrical reliability
• RoHS3 compliance for regulatory alignment
• Single-row contact arrangement

The KYOCERA AVX 009155004001016 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on matching connector type, contact count, mounting method, contact finish, and RoHS compliance. Pitch variation (0.098" vs. 0.079") and contact finish thickness differences represent the primary technical distinctions requiring design verification during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KYOCERA AVX 009155004001016 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0473270001. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.

The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (2988 pieces), providing supply chain continuity for designs requiring 4-position spring battery contact connectors in surface mount configurations.

Design implementation requires accommodation of the pitch differential (0.079" to 0.098") and contact finish thickness reduction (29.5µin to 15.0µin). The increased moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 to MSL 3) necessitates evaluation against storage and handling protocols in the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the KYOCERA AVX 009155004001016 a valid substitute for the Molex 0473270001?

A: Both components share identical connector type classification (battery contact), contact count (4 positions), mounting method (surface mount), contact finish (gold), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The manufacturer explicitly designates this part as the recommended alternative.

Q: What are the primary differences between these two connectors?

A: The pitch spacing differs (0.079" versus 0.098"), contact finish thickness is reduced (29.5µin to 15.0µin), and moisture sensitivity classification increases (MSL 1 to MSL 3). These variations require PCB layout adjustment and environmental storage consideration.

Q: Does the pitch difference affect PCB compatibility?

A: Yes. The 0.019" pitch increase requires modification of footprint spacing on the printed circuit board. Direct mechanical substitution without layout revision is not possible.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.

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

A: The KYOCERA AVX 009155004001016 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.
