Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1-640384-0 and Molex 0026202101 are active products with current manufacturing support and full RoHS compliance. The selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

TE Connectivity 1-640384-0 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Systems with operating temperature specifications of -55°C to 105°C
• Designs utilizing thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation materials
• Voltage requirements up to 600VAC
• Copper alloy contact material preference

Molex 0026202101 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where UL94 V-2 flammability rating is acceptable
• Designs utilizing polyamide (PA) nylon insulation materials
• Brass contact material preference
• Applications requiring push-pull fastening type
• Automotive, medical, and telecommunications industry applications

Both parts maintain identical pitch spacing (0.156"), position count (10), and through-hole solder termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in standard board-to-cable/wire connection designs. The Molex part features longer contact lengths (mating and post), which may affect PCB layout considerations and mating depth requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0026202101 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-640384-0?

A: The Molex 0026202101 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications where the UL94 V-2 flammability rating is acceptable. The primary differences are contact length dimensions and insulation material composition. PCB layout and mating depth specifications must be verified against design requirements.

Q: What are the key dimensional differences between these two parts?

A: The Molex 0026202101 has longer contact lengths compared to the TE Connectivity part. The mating contact length is 0.450" (11.43mm) versus 0.400" (10.16mm), and the post contact length is 0.175" (4.45mm) versus 0.125" (3.18mm). Overall contact length is 0.750" (19.05mm) versus 0.650" (16.51mm). These differences affect PCB hole depth and mating connector engagement depth.
