Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity AMP 2041346-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be SATA
• Number of Positions: Must be 7
• Connector Style: Must be Header, Shrouded
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination Method: Must be Solder
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Features: Must include Board Lock
• RoHS Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0471554001 meets all substitution criteria, providing functional and electrical equivalence for applications currently utilizing the obsolete TE Connectivity part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0471554001 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP 2041346-1. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 7-position SATA header configuration, shrouded design, through-hole solder termination, gold contact finish, and board lock functionality.

The Molex part carries active product status with confirmed RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing regulatory assurance for new designs and production continuity. The TE Connectivity part's kinked pin feature is functionally equivalent to standard through-hole mounting in the Molex design, as both provide secure board retention through mechanical locking mechanisms.

Selection of the Molex 0471554001 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes designed for 7-position SATA header connectors with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0471554001 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity AMP 2041346-1?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, position count, shrouded header style, through-hole solder termination, gold contact finish, and board lock features. The Molex part is functionally equivalent and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and standard through-hole mounting?

A: Both mounting types provide mechanical board retention. The kinked pin design in the TE Connectivity part and the standard through-hole design in the Molex part both support board lock functionality and solder termination. The difference is in pin geometry, not in electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The Molex part carries REACH unaffected status, while the TE Connectivity part has vendor undefined REACH status. For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation, the Molex part provides explicit regulatory confirmation.

Q: What packaging is available for the Molex substitute?

A: The Molex 0471554001 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your assembly process before procurement.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence classification indicates the part is no longer in active production. The Molex 0471554001 provides continuity for applications requiring 7-position SATA header connectors with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.
