Molex 0015445814 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0015445814 is a 14-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with gold-plated mating contacts. This connector is actively produced and widely used in automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit equivalent connector types with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0015445814 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Position Count: All substitutes maintain 14-position configuration
• Pitch & Row Configuration: All maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row layout
• Mounting & Termination: All are through-hole solder-terminated connectors
• Fastening Type: All use push-pull fastening mechanism
• Electrical Ratings: Substitutes must meet or exceed the 2.5A current and 500VAC voltage requirements, or operate within acceptable design margins
• Temperature Range: Operating temperature must support the application environment
• Compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: receptacle connectors (direct functional equivalents) and header connectors (compatible for board-to-board applications where connector gender can be reversed in design).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Receptacle Substitutes (Preferred for Pin-Compatible Replacement):

Amphenol ICC 76314-107LF and Harwin M20-7830746 are receptacle connectors maintaining the same connector gender as the Molex 0015445814. Both are active products with UL94 V-0 compliance. The Amphenol part features gold mating contacts matching the original specification. The Harwin part provides higher voltage rating (1000V) and current capacity (3A) with tin mating contacts. Selection between these depends on contact finish requirements and voltage/current margin needs for the application.

Header Connector Substitutes (For Board-to-Board Applications):

Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC (gold finish) and PPTC072LFBN-RC (tin finish) are header connectors with equivalent pitch, position count, and row configuration. These are suitable for applications where connector gender can be reversed in the PCB design. Both provide 3A current rating and are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 rating. The PPPC072LFBN-RC matches the gold contact finish of the original part. Voltage rating for both Sullins headers is 250V, which is lower than the original 500VAC specification and must be evaluated against application requirements.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS and flammability standards required for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 76314-107LF directly replace the Molex 0015445814?

A: Yes, as a receptacle connector with identical 14-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and gold mating contacts. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through matching connector type, pitch, row spacing, and fastening mechanism. Verify application voltage and current requirements against the Amphenol part's electrical specifications.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and header connector substitutes?

A: Receptacle connectors (Molex, Amphenol, Harwin) are female socket connectors designed to mate with male pins. Header connectors (Sullins PPPC and PPTC series) are also female socket connectors but are typically mounted as the mating component on PCBs. Both types are compatible in board-to-board applications; selection depends on PCB layout and connector orientation requirements.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have unspecified electrical ratings?

A: The Amphenol ICC 76314-107LF does not list current and voltage ratings in the provided specification data. When electrical ratings are not specified, contact the manufacturer directly or consult detailed datasheets before selecting for applications with specific power requirements.

Q: Can I use the Sullins header connectors if my application requires 500VAC?

A: The Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC and PPTC072LFBN-RC are rated for 250V maximum. These parts are not suitable for applications requiring 500VAC operation. Select the Harwin M20-7830746 (1000V rating) or Amphenol ICC 76314-107LF for higher voltage applications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish (gold vs. tin)?

A: Contact finish affects signal integrity, corrosion resistance, and mating force. Gold-plated contacts (Molex 0015445814, Amphenol 76314-107LF, Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin-plated contacts (Harwin M20-7830746, Sullins PPTC072LFBN-RC) are cost-effective alternatives suitable for non-corrosive environments. Selection depends on application environment and signal quality requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance (either ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant status), meeting regulatory requirements for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The Molex 0015445814 is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitute parts are available in Tray (Molex, Sullins) or Tube (Amphenol ICC, Harwin) packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with procurement and assembly processes.
