Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0901481306 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with 6 female sockets
Pitch & Position Count: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 6-position loading
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface for signal integrity
Electrical Performance: Minimum 3A current rating and 350V voltage rating
Compliance: RoHS3 compliance for regulatory alignment

The identified substitutes (TE Connectivity 216602-6 and Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF) meet these core parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part is unavailable or procurement constraints require alternative sourcing.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors maintain active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The Molex 0901481306 and Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF share identical insulation height (0.130") and contact post length (0.114"), providing the closest mechanical compatibility for direct PCB layout substitution. The TE Connectivity 216602-6 exhibits slightly different post geometry (0.126" contact length, 0.126" insulation height) and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification, which may be advantageous in applications requiring enhanced flame resistance. All three parts utilize phosphor bronze contacts with tin-plated posts and gold-plated mating surfaces, maintaining electrical performance consistency. Selection should prioritize mechanical fit requirements and any application-specific compliance certifications beyond RoHS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 216602-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0901481306 on existing PCBs?

A: The TE Connectivity 216602-6 maintains the same 0.100" pitch, 6-position configuration, and right-angle through-hole mounting. However, the contact post length differs (0.126" vs. 0.114"), which may affect solder joint depth and PCB pad design. Mechanical verification against PCB layout is required before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF and the Molex 0901481306?

A: Both parts share identical insulation height and contact post length, making them mechanically interchangeable. The primary difference is insulation material composition (thermoplastic vs. polybutylene terephthalate) and color coding (blue vs. black). Electrical performance and current/voltage ratings remain equivalent.

Q: Are all three connectors suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0901481306 and Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF explicitly list automotive applications. The TE Connectivity 216602-6 does not specify automotive applications in the provided data. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific automotive qualification requirements if needed.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Molex 0901481306 and Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF are supplied in tube packaging, while the TE Connectivity 216602-6 is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling, storage, and bulk ordering considerations but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same current and voltage ratings?

A: The Molex 0901481306 specifies 3A at 350V. The TE Connectivity 216602-6 and Amphenol ICC 89882-306LF do not provide explicit current and voltage ratings in the available data. Confirmation of electrical ratings with manufacturer datasheets is recommended for applications with specific power requirements.
