Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0190710162 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 8 AWG (fixed requirement)
• Stud/Tab Size: 3/8 Stud (fixed requirement)
• Terminal Type: Circular (fixed requirement)
• Termination Method: Crimp (fixed requirement)
• Insulation Material: Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) (fixed requirement)
• Contact Material: Copper with Tin Finish (fixed requirement)
• Series: InsulKrimp (manufacturer series designation)

Substitute parts must maintain identical values for all critical parameters. Dimensional variations in thickness, width, and overall length are permissible provided the terminal maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 3/8 stud interface and 8 AWG wire gauge specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0190710150 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued 0190710162. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and functional specifications for 8 AWG wire termination on 3/8 inch studs. The 0190710150 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Dimensional differences between the two parts (thickness, width, and overall length) do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with standard 3/8 stud interfaces. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original 0190710162 was specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0190710150 be used as a direct replacement for the 0190710162?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (circular), termination method (crimp), insulation material (PVC), and contact specifications. The dimensional variations do not affect compatibility with standard 3/8 stud connections.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the 0190710162?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 0190710150 is the active replacement part and should be used for new procurement and ongoing applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: Does the smaller overall length of the 0190710150 affect its performance?

A: No. The dimensional reduction does not impact electrical performance or mechanical function. The critical parameters—wire gauge, stud size, contact material, and insulation specifications—remain identical.

Q: What packaging is available for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format, standard for terminal connector components.
