Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0482270401 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch specification (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Position count (4 positions, single row)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Insulation height (0.114" / 2.90mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part 10116782-004010LF meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring compatibility in existing PCB designs and mating connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10116782-004010LF is a qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0482270401. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interface dimensions, electrical contact specifications, and compliance certifications. The substitute part carries active product status with established supply availability, addressing the obsolescence of the original component.

Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. The Amphenol ICC part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for production environments, whereas the original Molex part was supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 10116782-004010LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0482270401?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (1.00mm), position count (4), mounting configuration (surface mount right-angle), shrouding design (4-wall), and contact specifications. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Molex 0482270401 is classified as obsolete. The Amphenol ICC part is actively manufactured and maintained in production inventory.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching to the substitute part?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes. The original part was supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects handling and assembly logistics but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol ICC part carries RoHS compliance. Both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: Is the insulation material the same between the two parts?

A: The insulation materials differ. The Molex part uses Polyamide (PA46) Nylon 4/6 glass-filled material, while the Amphenol ICC part uses Thermoplastic halogen-free material. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified application.

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

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