Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1586840-4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Pin or Socket: Pin
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 16 AWG
• Category: Rectangular Connectors

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or equivalent regulatory compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited) or lower MSL rating
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part Molex 0039000084 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Both components are pin contacts with crimp termination rated for 16 AWG wire gauge applications within the rectangular connector category. Both parts maintain active product status and carry RoHS compliance certifications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is identical, ensuring equivalent moisture sensitivity handling requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1586840-4 and Molex 0039000084 are active products with current manufacturing status and full regulatory compliance. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Molex substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, both meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

The primary distinction between these components is the contact finish material: the TE Connectivity part features gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the Molex substitute uses tin plating. Both finishes are suitable for crimp termination on 16 AWG conductors in rectangular connector applications. The selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding contact finish material compatibility, connector housing design, and existing system specifications.

Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent moisture sensitivity handling and storage requirements. Inventory availability differs, with the TE Connectivity part currently stocked at 702 pieces and the Molex part at 13,479 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0039000084 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1586840-4 in all applications?

A: Both parts are pin contacts with crimp termination rated for 16 AWG wire gauge. Compatibility depends on connector housing design and contact finish material requirements. The primary difference is contact finish: gold versus tin. Verify that the receiving connector housing accepts the Molex part's tin-plated contact geometry and material specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the Molex part uses tin plating.
