TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-644611-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-644611-0 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded, single-wall header connector accommodates 10 positions at 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with solder termination and friction lock fastening. The connector is specified for general purpose and industrial applications with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and a voltage rating of 600VAC. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in board-to-cable and board-to-board configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 10
• Pitch - mating: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 wall
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Friction lock
• Contact shape: Square
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts identified—Molex 0026604100 and Molex 0417910840—satisfy these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish composition, contact length specifications, and insulation material properties do not preclude substitution when the primary mating and functional characteristics remain equivalent. Both substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS3 and REACH requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Molex substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Molex alternatives (0026604100 and 0417910840) carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing an equivalent or enhanced compliance posture.

Molex 0026604100 features tin contact finish on mating surfaces with 60.0µin (1.52µm) thickness and polyester glass-filled insulation material. This part is suitable for general purpose, industrial, automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Molex 0417910840 features gold contact finish on mating surfaces with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness and polyester glass-filled insulation material. The gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in demanding environments. This part is also suitable for general purpose, industrial, automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

All three parts share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: 10-position, 0.156" pitch, single-row, shrouded header configuration with through-hole solder termination and friction lock fastening. Selection between the TE Connectivity original and Molex substitutes depends on application-specific requirements regarding contact finish composition, insulation material properties, and supplier availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary criteria for substituting the TE Connectivity 4-644611-0?

A: The substitute parts must maintain identical connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (10), mating pitch (0.156"), row configuration (1 row), shrouding style (shrouded - 1 wall), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), fastening mechanism (friction lock), and contact shape (square). All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 specifies tin contact finish on mating surfaces with 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. Molex 0026604100 provides tin finish with 60.0µin (1.52µm) thickness. Molex 0417910840 provides gold finish with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. These variations do not affect the fundamental mating compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between the parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material. Both Molex substitutes use polyester glass-filled insulation material. Both material compositions satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent performance in the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the contact length specifications?

A: The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 specifies overall contact length of 0.700" (17.78mm) with mating contact length of 0.450" (11.43mm) and post length of 0.125" (3.18mm). Both Molex substitutes specify overall contact length of 0.720" (18.29mm) with identical mating contact length of 0.450" (11.43mm) but post length of 0.140" (3.56mm). The mating contact length remains constant, ensuring proper engagement with mating connectors.

Q: Do all three parts comply with current regulatory standards?

A: The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both Molex substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All three parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS code. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance?

A: Molex 0417910840 features gold contact finish, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-finished alternatives. This part is specified for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications where contact reliability under challenging environmental conditions is required.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Molex 0026604100 has 12,663 pieces in stock. Molex 0417910840 has 2,371 pieces in stock. The TE Connectivity 4-644611-0 has 1,037 pieces in stock. Availability should be confirmed with the supplier for production requirements.
