Molex 0039010033 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0039010033 is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 2.50mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications using crimp termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The part operates within the 5480 series and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Due to its obsolete status, sourcing direct replacements requires evaluation of active alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0039010033 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 3 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Free-hanging in-line configuration with crimp termination
• Compliance & Environmental: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 440133-3 satisfies all substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical electrical interface specifications, mechanical form factors, and regulatory compliance profiles. The substitute part is currently active in production, addressing the obsolescence status of the original Molex component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 440133-3 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0039010033. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards
• Active Production Status: The TE Connectivity part is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (1600 pcs), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete Molex component
• Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, mounting method, and termination type—are identical between the original and substitute parts
• Series Compatibility: While the Molex part belongs to the 5480 series and the TE part to the High Performance Interconnect (HPI) series, both maintain the same physical and electrical interface specifications required for direct substitution

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 440133-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0039010033?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3-position receptacle housings with 2.50mm pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Molex 0039010033 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 440133-3 is an active production equivalent that maintains full compatibility while ensuring ongoing component availability.

Q: Are there any differences in operating temperature or environmental ratings?

A: The TE Connectivity substitute specifies an operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0039010033 and TE Connectivity 440133-3 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: The Molex part is supplied without specified packaging designation. The TE Connectivity substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility.
