Molex 0050579513 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0050579513 is a 13-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity while maintaining functional compatibility in 13-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0050579513 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: 13-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, receptacle connector type with female socket contacts, single-row configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening. All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in color, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, and manufacturer series do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements. The Molex 0050579513 and TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 are both black housings with identical pitch and position configuration. The TE Connectivity 1-1375820-3 provides equivalent electrical and mechanical function with a white housing and extended lower operating temperature limit of -55°C compared to the Molex -40°C minimum. Selection between these parts should be based on color requirement, specific operating temperature range needed for the application, and material composition compatibility with the assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 directly replace Molex 0050579513? A: Yes. Both parts are 13-position receptacles with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening. The primary difference is manufacturer series and insulation material composition, which do not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference between the black and white housing options? A: The Molex 0050579513 and TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 feature black housings, while the TE Connectivity 1-1375820-3 features a white housing. Housing color does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on application requirements and assembly identification needs.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between substitute parts? A: Yes. The Molex 0050579513 operates from -40°C to 105°C, the TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 from -65°C to 105°C, and the TE Connectivity 1-1375820-3 from -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C should use TE Connectivity alternatives.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level? A: Yes. All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are contacts included with these receptacle housings? A: No. All three parts are housings only; contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts? A: All parts are RoHS compliant and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. REACH status is Vendor Undefined for TE Connectivity parts and REACH Unaffected for the Molex part.
