Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0934453601 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Category: Rectangular Connectors (Housings)
• Connector Type: Plug configuration
• Number of Positions: 4-position
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Color: Black
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with systems originally designed for the Molex 0934453601. Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status and established supply chains.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are classified as active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the Molex 0934453601. Selection between the two alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

TE Connectivity DT06-4S-EP11: This substitute features integrated blocked gasket, IP68, and IP6K9K protection ratings, with polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation material. It is suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing and protection against high-pressure water jets.

Amphenol AT06-4S-SR01BLK: This substitute incorporates strain relief design with thermoplastic insulation material. It is designated as the manufacturer-recommended alternative and maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating consistent with the original part.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and REACH regulations, ensuring regulatory alignment for current production environments. The choice between these substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding environmental protection (TE Connectivity option) or strain relief integration (Amphenol option).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity DT06-4S-EP11 and Amphenol AT06-4S-SR01BLK be used interchangeably with the Molex 0934453601?

A: Both parts maintain the critical compatibility parameters: 4-position plug configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and black color. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established. Application-specific requirements (environmental sealing vs. strain relief) should guide final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference between the substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity DT06-4S-EP11 lists MSL as Not Applicable, while the Amphenol AT06-4S-SR01BLK maintains MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the original Molex part. For applications with moisture sensitivity considerations, the Amphenol option provides direct MSL alignment.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes, both the TE Connectivity DT06-4S-EP11 and Amphenol AT06-4S-SR01BLK are supplied in bulk packaging, with current inventory levels of 9293 and 9100 pieces respectively.

Q: What is the difference between the IP68/IP6K9K ratings on the TE Connectivity part and the strain relief feature on the Amphenol part?

A: IP68 and IP6K9K ratings indicate dust and high-pressure water jet protection, relevant for harsh environmental applications. Strain relief provides mechanical protection against cable stress and flexing. These are distinct design features addressing different application requirements.

Q: Do both substitute parts include contacts?

A: No, both substitute parts are connector housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to the connector specifications.
