Molex 0015446830 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0015446830 is a 30-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector features tin contact finish, push-pull fastening, and operates across -40°C to 105°C. The part is active in production and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications requiring reliable board-to-board or cable interconnection.

Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, specific application requirements such as enhanced contact finish durability, or when alternative series offer superior performance characteristics within compatible electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0015446830 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Connector Type: Receptacle (female socket contact type)
Position Count & Pitch: 30 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination
Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull engagement system
Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating and RoHS compliance

All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish material (tin versus gold), insulation color, contact post length, and base insulation material do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters remain constant. Contact finish differences affect corrosion resistance and mating durability but do not alter electrical compatibility or mechanical fit within the specified pitch and row spacing tolerances.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 76314-115LF (BergCon® Series): This substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with identical pitch, row spacing, and position count. The gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin, beneficial in high-humidity or corrosive environments. RoHS compliance is confirmed. This part is suitable for applications requiring superior contact durability without thermal or electrical performance trade-offs.

Amphenol ICC 87606-315LF (Dubox™ Series): This substitute offers identical mechanical parameters and gold contact finish. The Dubox™ series is specified for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. RoHS compliance is confirmed. This option is appropriate for applications where industrial-grade reliability and automotive qualification are required.

Harwin M20-7831542 (M20 Series): This substitute provides ROHS3 compliance matching the original part. The M20 series specifies higher current rating (3A versus 2.5A) and voltage rating (1000V versus 500VAC), making it suitable for applications with elevated electrical demands. Operating temperature range matches the original specification. This part is qualified for general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications use.

Sullins PPTC152LFBN-RC: This substitute is a header connector rather than a receptacle, representing a different connector type classification. While it maintains identical pitch, row spacing, position count, and through-hole solder termination, the header configuration requires mating with a receptacle connector. This part is suitable only when the application design accommodates header-to-receptacle mating pairs. ROHS3 compliance and operating temperature range match the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 76314-115LF directly replace the Molex 0015446830 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical 30-position, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. The gold contact finish of the Amphenol part provides equivalent or superior electrical performance. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the functional difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: Tin contact finish provides cost-effective performance for standard applications. Gold contact finish offers superior corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, and extended mating cycle durability. Both finishes are electrically compatible within the specified voltage and current ratings.

Q: Is the Sullins PPTC152LFBN-RC compatible with the original Molex receptacle?

A: The Sullins part is a header connector, not a receptacle. It cannot directly replace a receptacle in existing designs. Header connectors are designed to mate with receptacle connectors. Use this part only if your application requires a header-to-receptacle connector pair configuration.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by: connector type (receptacle), position count (30), mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), and contact type (female socket). Variations in contact finish, insulation material, and color do not preclude substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards as the original?

A: All listed substitutes are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. The Molex original and Harwin M20-7831542 are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol ICC parts are RoHS compliant. All parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Verify specific compliance requirements for your application before final selection.

Q: Which substitute offers the highest electrical performance?

A: The Harwin M20-7831542 specifies the highest current rating (3A) and voltage rating (1000V) compared to the original Molex part (2.5A, 500VAC). This part is suitable for applications with elevated electrical demands while maintaining identical mechanical compatibility.
