Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0003122015 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type: Plug housing configuration
• Number of Positions: 1-position housing
• Number of Rows: Single row arrangement
• Mounting Type: Panel mount with snap-in capability
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style termination
• Fastening Type: Locking ramp mechanism
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part Molex 0019092017 maintains equivalence across all these critical parameters. Variations in color (natural versus white) and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability when the above parameters are matched.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0019092017 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0003122015. Both components maintain identical functional specifications across all critical parameters: 1-position plug housing, panel mount snap-in configuration, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening.

The substitute part 0019092017 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

The color difference (natural versus white) represents a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection between these variants should be based on application-specific aesthetic or identification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0019092017 directly replace the 0003122015 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, termination style, and fastening mechanism. The substitute maintains full functional equivalence.

Q: Does the color difference between natural and white affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute that does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should be based on application requirements for visual identification or aesthetic considerations.

Q: Why is the 0003122015 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 0019092017 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring access to new inventory and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0003122015 and 0019092017 meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, confirming suitability for regulated applications and environmental standards.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating for both parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have no moisture sensitivity limitations. Standard storage and handling procedures apply without special environmental controls.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped according to application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the 42179 and 3191 series designations?

A: Series designation reflects the product line classification within Molex's connector portfolio. Despite different series numbers, both parts maintain identical functional specifications for this 1-position panel mount application.
