Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0484090004 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A), Stacked configuration
• Number of Contacts: 18 positions
• Gender: Receptacle
• USB Specification: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1, Superspeed USB 3.0)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole with Vertical orientation
• Number of Ports: 2
• Current Rating: 0.25A and 1.8A
• Voltage Rating: 30VAC/DC
• Mating Cycles: 5000
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 85°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part must match all electrical and mechanical parameters without deviation. Packaging differences do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0484090003 is a direct functional equivalent to the 0484090004. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 0484090004 is obsolete while the 0484090003 is active, making the latter the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry equivalent certifications. The 0484090003 is available in tray packaging, which may provide procurement advantages over bulk packaging. For applications requiring the 0484090004, the 0484090003 provides full functional compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0484090003 replace the 0484090004 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0484090003 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0484090004 across all specified parameters. No design changes are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 0484090004 is obsolete. The 0484090003 is an active product with identical specifications, making it the recommended choice for procurement and new designs.

Q: Are there differences in compliance or certifications?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry equivalent regulatory certifications. No compliance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. The 0484090004 is supplied in bulk packaging while the 0484090003 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should be based on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type (USB-A stacked receptacle), contact count (18), USB specification (USB 3.2 Gen 1), mounting configuration (through-hole vertical), port count (2), current ratings (0.25A, 1.8A), voltage rating (30VAC/DC), mating cycles (5000), shielding (shielded), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C).
