Molex 0191780013 Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0191780013 is a ring terminal connector designed for 14-16 AWG wire applications with a #10 stud hook configuration. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The ring terminal provides a crimp termination method for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. Due to its Last Time Buy status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute components is essential for ongoing procurement and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0191780013 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge compatibility: 14-16 AWG
• Stud size: #10 configuration
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact material and finish: Copper with Electro-Tin
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part Molex 0191780050 shares the same wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (#10), termination method (Crimp), contact material (Copper), contact finish (Electro-Tin), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The primary functional difference is the terminal type: the substitute uses a Spring/Snap spade terminal configuration rather than a hook terminal. This substitution is valid where the mechanical interface and connection geometry of a spade terminal are compatible with the application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0190980050 is an active production substitute for the discontinued Molex 0191780013. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part is currently in active production with substantial inventory availability (58,648 pieces), providing supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

The primary consideration for substitution is the terminal type transition from hook to spade configuration. This change requires mechanical interface compatibility verification at the connection point. Both parts maintain identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), crimp termination method, copper contact material with electro-tin finish, and free-hanging in-line mounting characteristics. The stud size differs (#10 versus #8), which may require application-specific evaluation depending on the mating connector or stud configuration in the target assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0190980050 directly replace the 0191780013 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of mechanical compatibility at the connection interface. The substitute uses a spade terminal (Spring/Snap) instead of a hook terminal. The stud size also differs (#8 versus #10). These differences necessitate confirmation that the mating connector or stud accommodates the spade terminal geometry and #8 stud configuration.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that remain consistent between these parts?

A: Wire gauge (14-16 AWG), termination method (Crimp), contact material (Copper), contact finish (Electro-Tin), and mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line) are identical. Both parts support the same wire gauge range and use identical crimp termination technology.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance status is equivalent.

Q: Why is the substitute part in Active status while the original is Last Time Buy?

A: The Molex 0190980050 remains in active production, providing long-term supply availability. The original 0191780013 has reached end-of-life status. Transitioning to the active substitute ensures continued component availability for future production requirements.

Q: What dimensional differences exist between these terminals?

A: The substitute is marginally wider (0.340" versus 0.350") and slightly longer (0.694" versus 0.677"). These differences are minor but should be evaluated for fit within the target assembly space, particularly in confined mounting environments.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same packaging and handling requirements?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Handling and storage requirements are equivalent.
