Molex 0307001101 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0307001101 is a 10-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with 2.54mm pitch spacing. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in applications requiring dual-row inline connector assemblies. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status, ensuring continued availability for new designs and legacy system support. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where alternative housing colors or stock levels provide operational advantages.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0307001101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 10-position, dual-row arrangement with 2.54mm pitch and 0.100" row spacing
• Mechanical Compatibility: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening
• Material & Environmental Specifications: SPS glass-filled insulation rated for -40°C to 100°C operation
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part Molex 0307001101 differs only in housing color (gray versus black), which does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings. All other parameters remain identical, confirming full functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0307001101 and 0307001100 are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and application-specific requirements. The black housing (0307001101) and gray housing (0307001100) are functionally equivalent for all electrical and mechanical applications. No performance degradation or compatibility issues result from substitution between these parts. Both maintain full compliance with applicable regulatory standards and environmental specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0307001100 (gray) be used as a direct replacement for the 0307001101 (black)?

A: Yes. The 0307001100 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The only difference is housing color, which does not affect performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these two part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and termination specifications. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0307001101 and 0307001100 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. They meet identical environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the housing color difference?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic distinction with no impact on electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings. Selection may be based on application aesthetics, inventory availability, or internal design standards.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex assembly specifications.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 0.100" row spacing in a dual-row configuration. This specification determines mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and contact insertion tools. Identical pitch values confirm full interchangeability.
