Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0039299064 connector serves as a functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 1586494-6 based on alignment of critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, row spacing, contact post length, insulation height, contact shape, and contact finish specifications.

Compliance Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), supporting deployment in standard industrial and telecommunications applications. The Molex 0039299064 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Flammability Rating Consideration: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, while the Molex 0039299064 carries a UL94 V-2 rating. Applications requiring V-0 compliance must evaluate this specification difference against specific design requirements.

Contact Material Difference: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 utilizes copper alloy contacts, while the Molex 0039299064 utilizes brass contacts. Both materials support the specified gold mating finish and tin post finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0039299064 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1586494-6 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0039299064 shares identical mechanical and electrical mating characteristics with the TE Connectivity 1586494-6, including pitch, row spacing, contact post length, and contact finish specifications. Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is established for board-level integration.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 versus UL94 V-2 flammability rating difference?

A: UL94 V-0 represents a higher flammability performance classification than UL94 V-2. Applications subject to strict flammability requirements must confirm that UL94 V-2 compliance satisfies design specifications before implementing the Molex substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The Molex 0039299064 is supplied in tray packaging. Procurement and handling procedures should account for packaging format differences.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The Molex 0039299064 operating temperature specification is not provided in the technical data. Temperature range compatibility must be confirmed for applications operating outside standard industrial temperature ranges.

Q: What contact material differences exist between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 utilizes copper alloy contacts, while the Molex 0039299064 utilizes brass contacts. Both materials support the specified gold mating surface finish and tin post finish. Contact material selection does not affect mating interface performance for standard applications.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 1586494-6 and Molex 0039299064 maintain ROHS3 compliance status, supporting deployment in applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 1586494-6 is classified as obsolete with 912 pieces available in current inventory. The Molex 0039299064 maintains active product status with 1673 pieces available in current inventory, supporting ongoing procurement requirements.
