Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0940904160 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Quick Connect, Disconnect
• Gender Configuration: Male, Tab
• Terminal Size: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Stacking Direction: Top to Bottom and Side to Side
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Material Composition: Nylon
• For Use With: 0.250" (6.35mm) Quick Connects

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 737021 satisfies all substitution criteria. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across terminal configuration, position count, stacking capability, and mounting methodology. Material composition, RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity ratings are equivalent between the two parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 737021 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0940904160. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment across all critical specifications
• Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (3339 pcs in stock)
• ROHS3 compliance certification matching the original component
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity rating and environmental performance characteristics
• Compatibility with 0.250" (6.35mm) quick connect/disconnect systems

The transition from the Molex part to the TE Connectivity equivalent presents no functional or compliance barriers for applications requiring 4-position male tab housing connectors in quick connect configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes TE Connectivity 737021 a valid substitute for Molex 0940904160?

A: Both components share identical specifications across terminal type, gender configuration, terminal size (0.250"), position count (4), stacking direction, and mounting type. Material composition and compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions or mounting between these parts?
