Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 643464-5 with the Molex 0026604070 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 7
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Shape: Square
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Natural
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, contact configuration, and regulatory compliance status. The Molex substitute maintains functional equivalence for board-to-cable and board-to-board applications within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 643464-5 and Molex 0026604070 maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. The connectors are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in dimensional specifications. The Molex 0026604070 exhibits increased contact lengths and insulation height compared to the TE Connectivity part. The TE Connectivity 643464-5 specifies 6 positions loaded, while the Molex substitute loads all 7 positions. Insulation material composition differs, with TE Connectivity using thermoplastic glass-filled material and Molex using polyester glass-filled material.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding contact engagement depth, insulation material compatibility, and position loading configuration. Both parts are suitable for general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications where 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch 7-position through-hole solder-terminated headers are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0026604070 directly replace the TE Connectivity 643464-5 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application accommodates the dimensional differences. The Molex substitute features longer contact lengths (0.450" vs. 0.400" mating length) and increased insulation height (0.446" vs. 0.425"). PCB layout and mating connector depth must be evaluated to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "Number of Positions Loaded" specification?

A: The TE Connectivity 643464-5 specifies 6 positions loaded within a 7-position housing, while the Molex 0026604070 loads all 7 positions. This affects the physical configuration and available contact points. Applications requiring all 7 positions must use the fully loaded Molex variant or confirm that the TE Connectivity part meets application requirements despite partial loading.

Q: Are there voltage or current rating differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 643464-5 specifies 600VAC voltage rating with current rating varying by wire gauge. The Molex 0026604070 does not provide explicit voltage or current ratings in the available specifications. Applications with specific electrical performance requirements should reference detailed manufacturer datasheets.

Q: Do the different insulation materials affect application suitability?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation while the Molex substitute uses polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection should be evaluated based on specific environmental exposure, chemical compatibility, and thermal cycling requirements of the application.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 643464-5 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The Molex 0026604070 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification in the available data. Applications with temperature extremes should reference manufacturer datasheets to confirm thermal performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0026604070 lists automotive applications in its specification. The TE Connectivity 643464-5 specifies general purpose and industrial applications. Automotive applications should confirm that the TE Connectivity part meets required automotive standards and qualifications.
