Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector plug housings is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Plug with Male Pin configuration
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.118" (3.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Fastening: Panel Mount, Snap-In with Locking Ramp fastening
• Electrical & Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature -40°C ~ 105°C, RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 3-794615-6 meets all these criteria, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring equivalent mechanical and electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 2036320600 and TE Connectivity 3-794615-6 are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: TE Connectivity 3-794615-6 shows higher inventory (14,776 pcs) compared to Molex 2036320600 (2,069 pcs)
• Supply Chain Requirements: Either part satisfies identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct substitution
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 and MSL 1 requirements for equivalent environmental performance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 3-794615-6 directly replace Molex 2036320600?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. Operating temperature ranges and compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: Are there material differences between the two housings?

A: The Molex part specifies Polyamide (PA) Nylon, while the TE Connectivity part specifies Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Both are polyamide-based insulation materials suitable for the -40°C ~ 105°C operating range and are functionally equivalent for this application.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings?

A: Substitution is determined by matching connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, fastening type, and operating temperature range. All these parameters must align for direct replacement.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the Molex 2036320600 and TE Connectivity 3-794615-6 are housing-only components. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for selection?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs, with TE Connectivity 3-794615-6 showing significantly higher stock levels. Selection may depend on supply chain lead time requirements.
