Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 4-644629-0 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria include connector pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), number of positions (10), contact configuration (male pin header), mounting style (through-hole right angle), shrouding design (shrouded 1 wall), termination method (solder), and contact finish specifications (gold mating surface, tin post finish). Additional qualifying parameters include material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating of 1. Parts meeting all these core parameters are classified as direct functional equivalents capable of substitution in applications originally designed for the 4-644629-0.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0417920536 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 4-644629-0. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 10-position, 0.156" pitch, male pin header configuration with right-angle through-hole mounting, shrouded 1-wall design, and solder termination with friction lock fastening.
