Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-87025-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Contact Type: Female Socket configuration
• Number of Positions: 8-position capacity
• Pitch: 0.156" (3.96mm) contact spacing
• Number of Rows: Single-row arrangement
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) installation method
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style termination
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0430610019 satisfies all these parameters, establishing it as a parametric equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity part. Both housings accommodate identical contact configurations and mounting requirements, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring 8-position, 3.96mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align between the two housings, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and termination style. This equivalence enables direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Inventory Availability: The Molex substitute maintains active inventory status with 790 pieces in stock, supporting immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0430610019 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-87025-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both housings are parametrically equivalent across all critical specifications: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, single-row arrangement, free-hanging in-line mounting, and crimp contact termination. The housings are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is Black, while the Molex substitute is Natural. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between colors depends on application-specific requirements or assembly aesthetics.

Q: Are contacts included with either housing?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 1-87025-6 and Molex 0430610019 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with either part.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the Molex 0430610019 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component function and is determined by procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: How do the compliance ratings compare?

A: The Molex 0430610019 carries RoHS3 Compliance certification, indicating compliance with current environmental regulations. Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent regulatory standing for export and handling purposes.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The Molex 0430610019 operates across a temperature range of 0°C to 75°C. This specification is provided for the substitute part; the original TE Connectivity part does not include operating temperature data in the provided parameters.

Q: Are there additional substitutes available beyond the Molex 0430610019?

A: Based on the provided data, the Molex 0430610019 is the identified parametric equivalent. The Molex part itself lists an additional substitute (640251-8); however, detailed specifications for that part are not included in this reference.
