Molex 0894010610 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0894010610 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 6-position connector operates at 2.00mm pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction and kinked pin solder termination. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design support and component sourcing. Substitute parts must maintain identical mating pitch, position count, shrouding configuration, and termination method to ensure direct compatibility in existing PCB layouts.

• Number of positions: 6 — exact match required
• Number of rows: 1 — exact match required
• Connector type: Header — exact match required
• Contact type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle — exact match required
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder — exact match required
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall — exact match required
• Contact material: Brass — exact match required
• Contact finish: Tin — exact match required
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 — exact match required

Compliance Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — minimum requirement
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant — minimum requirement
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) — minimum requirement

The substitute parts listed below meet all primary compatibility criteria and compliance requirements. Dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height are permissible within standard PCB footprint tolerances for this connector category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 292250-6 is the primary substitute for the Molex 0894010610. This part maintains identical shrouding configuration (4-wall), termination method (kinked pin solder), and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 292250-6 is active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Inventory availability is substantial at 2,707 pieces.

TE Connectivity 440055-6 is an alternative substitute with the following distinctions: it features 3-wall shrouding instead of 4-wall, press-fit termination in addition to solder capability, and thermoplastic insulation material instead of polyamide. The 440055-6 is rated for -25°C to 85°C operating temperature, 3A current, and 250V voltage, providing enhanced electrical specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher performance ratings and is active in production with RoHS compliance.

Both substitutes maintain the critical 2.00mm mating pitch, 6-position single-row configuration, and through-hole right-angle mounting required for direct PCB footprint compatibility. Selection between the two substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding shrouding density, termination preference, and operating environment specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 292250-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0894010610?

A: Yes. The 292250-6 maintains identical mating pitch (2.00mm), position count (6), row configuration (1), shrouding (4-wall), and solder termination method. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between the 292250-6 and 440055-6 substitutes?

A: The primary differences are shrouding configuration (292250-6 has 4-wall; 440055-6 has 3-wall), termination method (292250-6 uses kinked pin solder; 440055-6 uses press-fit solder), insulation material (292250-6 uses polyamide; 440055-6 uses thermoplastic), and electrical ratings (440055-6 provides 3A current and 250V voltage specifications). Both maintain the required 2.00mm pitch and 6-position configuration.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Contact length and insulation height vary slightly between parts. The 292250-6 has an insulation height of 0.228" (5.80mm) compared to the original 0.199" (5.05mm). The 440055-6 has an insulation height of 0.195" (4.95mm). These variations fall within standard PCB footprint tolerances for this connector category and do not affect mating compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 292250-6 and 440055-6 are RoHS Compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), matching the compliance profile of the original Molex 0894010610.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. The 292250-6 provides the closest functional match with identical shrouding and termination. The 440055-6 offers enhanced electrical specifications (3A, 250V) and broader temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) for demanding applications. Both are active production parts with established supply chains.
