Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-966444-0 with equivalent components is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 10
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Series: AMPMODU HV-100
• Number of Rows: 1
• Insulation Material: Polyester, Glass Filled

The substitute part 6-966444-0 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters, confirming functional and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the main part is Obsolete, while the substitute is Active, making it the appropriate selection for new procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6-966444-0 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1-966444-0. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU HV-100 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters governing connector compatibility: 10-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, kinked pin solder termination, and gold-plated mating contacts.

The primary advantage of selecting 6-966444-0 is its Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL ratings, with no degradation in environmental or regulatory standing. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without circuit or PCB layout modifications.
