Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0009624154 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 15 positions at 0.156" (3.96mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: 4.5A current capacity and 600V voltage rating
• Contact Material & Shape: Brass square contacts
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical insulation height (0.449"), contact length (0.120"), and fastening type (locking ramp)
• Environmental Range: -40°C to 80°C operating temperature

The Molex 0009482155 meets all these criteria as a direct functional equivalent, with the primary difference being contact finish specification (tin vs. gold on mating contacts) and insulation material composition (polyester vs. polyamide).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0009482155 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0009624154. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 0009624154 is obsolete with limited inventory availability (970 pcs). The 0009482155 is active production with established supply chain (631 pcs in stock), making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance & Certifications: The 0009482155 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The 0009624154 predates these standards. The 0009482155 also features UL94 V-0 flammability rating compared to V-2, indicating superior material performance.

Contact Finish Considerations: The primary technical difference is mating contact finish. The 0009624154 uses gold plating (0.38µm), while the 0009482155 uses tin (2.54µm). Both finishes are suitable for the specified electrical ratings and environmental conditions. Tin finish on the 0009482155 provides equivalent corrosion resistance for the stated operating temperature range and applications.

Insulation Material: The 0009482155 uses polyester insulation versus polyamide in the original part. Both materials meet the mechanical and electrical requirements for this connector class and operating conditions.

For new designs, procurement of replacement stock, or system upgrades, the 0009482155 is the appropriate selection based on active product status, regulatory compliance, and equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0009482155 directly replace the 0009624154 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, mounting method, and electrical ratings. The 0009482155 is mechanically and electrically compatible with mating connectors designed for the 0009624154.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finishes?

A: The 0009624154 features gold-plated mating contacts (0.38µm), while the 0009482155 uses tin plating (2.54µm). Both finishes provide adequate corrosion protection and electrical conductivity for the specified 4.5A current and 600V voltage ratings across the -40°C to 80°C operating range. Contact finish selection does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance within these parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0009624154 packaging is not specified in available data. The 0009482155 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or assembly process specifications.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect performance?

A: No. Both polyamide and polyester insulation materials meet the mechanical strength, electrical isolation, and temperature requirements for this connector class. The polyester insulation in the 0009482155 achieves a higher UL94 V-0 flammability rating compared to the V-2 rating of the original part, indicating improved material performance.

Q: Is the 0009482155 suitable for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications?

A: Yes. The 0009482155 is rated for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications, matching the application scope of the 0009624154.

Q: What is the current availability status?

A: The 0009624154 is obsolete with limited stock (970 pcs). The 0009482155 is in active production with current inventory (631 pcs). For ongoing supply assurance, the 0009482155 is the recommended selection.
