Molex 0003122016 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0003122016 is a 1-position rectangular connector plug housing with a 0.330" contact pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making it necessary to identify active equivalent parts for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The part features a natural color housing with crimp contact termination and locking ramp fastening. With 921 units currently in stock, substitution planning is essential for long-term supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0003122016 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type: Plug housing configuration
• Number of Positions: Single-position housing
• Mounting Type: Free-hanging in-line orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style termination
• Fastening Type: Locking ramp mechanism
• Color: Natural housing material
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The identified substitute part, Molex 0019092019, maintains compatibility across these core parameters while offering an active product status. The primary difference is the contact pitch specification (0.093" versus 0.330"), which represents a distinct mechanical interface. This substitution is valid only when the receiving connector housing and contact specifications are compatible with the 0.093" pitch standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0019092019 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0003122016. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications requiring environmental standards adherence.

The transition from the 0003122016 to the 0019092019 requires verification that the mating connector housing and contact specifications are compatible with the 0.093" pitch standard. The substitute part is actively manufactured with significantly higher inventory availability (23276 units), providing improved supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete original part.

Both parts share identical connector architecture (single-position plug, free-hanging in-line, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening), differing only in pitch specification and material documentation. Selection between these parts depends entirely on the receiving connector housing pitch requirement in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0019092019 directly replace the 0003122016 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the mating connector housing is designed for 0.093" pitch contacts. The 0.330" pitch specification of the original part is mechanically incompatible with 0.093" pitch receiving housings. Verify mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for this substitution?

A: Compatibility is determined by pitch specification (0.093" for the substitute versus 0.330" for the original), mating connector housing design, and contact specifications. All other parameters—connector type, mounting orientation, termination method, and fastening mechanism—remain identical.

Q: Why is the 0003122016 classified as obsolete?

A: The part is no longer in active production. The 0019092019 represents the current active equivalent in the Molex product line, offering the same functional architecture with improved supply availability.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1 (unlimited). No regulatory differences exist between the original and substitute parts.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 0019092019 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the unspecified packaging of the original part. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.
