Molex 0010012049 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010012049 is a 4-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This component is part of the KK254 series and is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications using crimp termination. The part is currently active in production and RoHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring 4-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0010012049 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Contact type: Non-Gendered
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Molex 0022012041 and Molex 0470541000. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part across all critical parameters. Variations in color (white versus ivory) and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability in applications requiring 4-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0010012049, 0022012041, and 0470541000—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color requirement: The 0010012049 and 0022012041 are white housings, while the 0470541000 is ivory. Color selection depends on application-specific visual identification or assembly requirements.

2. Availability: Inventory levels vary across the three parts. The 0022012041 has 33,457 units in stock, the 0470541000 has 73,313 units in stock, and the 0010012049 has 830 units in stock.

3. Series compatibility: The 0010012049 belongs to KK254 and 7880 series, the 0022012041 to KK254 and 2695 series, and the 0470541000 to KK254 and 47054 series. Verify series compatibility with existing connector systems in your application.

All parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 4-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022012041 be used as a direct replacement for the 0010012049?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-position receptacle housings with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, crimp termination, and polyamide insulation. The primary difference is color (white for both) and series designation. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the 0470541000 and the 0010012049?

A: The 0470541000 is functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is housing color: the 0470541000 is ivory while the 0010012049 is white. Both are 4-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings suitable for crimp termination applications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 0010012049, 0022012041, and 0470541000 are all ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited).

Q: Does color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements for visual identification or assembly documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation (KK254, 7880, 2695, 47054)?

A: Series designations identify the connector family and internal design variations. While all three parts maintain the same pitch and position count, verify series compatibility with mating connectors and existing assemblies in your application to ensure proper mechanical fit.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.
