Molex 0307001208 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0307001208 is a 20-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing features a female socket contact type with dual-row configuration and integrated Terminal Position Lock (TPA) for secure contact retention. The component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assembly applications where environmental and regulatory compliance are required.

Substitute parts are necessary when specific color variants are required for application-specific identification, inventory constraints exist, or design requirements mandate alternative housing materials while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0307001208 rectangular connector housing is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (20)
Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
Contact termination (Crimp)
Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
Insulation material (Syndiotactic Polystyrene, Glass Filled)
Operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C)
Series designation (H-DAC 64 30700)

The substitute parts 0307001207 and 0307001209 maintain complete equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Variation exists only in housing color (Black, Gray, or Natural), which does not affect functional performance or physical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0307001208, 0307001207, and 0307001209—maintain Active product status and carry identical RoHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for housing color identification or inventory availability.

The 0307001208 (Black) variant is currently stocked at 1,726 pieces. The 0307001207 (Gray) variant is available at 2,132 pieces with REACH Affected status. The 0307001209 (Natural) variant is stocked at 724 pieces with REACH Unaffected status.

For applications requiring REACH compliance assurance, the 0307001208 (Black) or 0307001209 (Natural) variants are appropriate selections. All parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0307001207 (Gray) be used as a direct replacement for 0307001208 (Black)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent within the H-DAC 64 30700 series. The only difference is housing color. Functional performance, contact configuration, pitch, and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the 0307001208?

A: Substitution requires equivalence across connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching between color variants?

A: No. Housing color does not affect electrical connectivity, mechanical fit, or thermal performance. Color selection is purely for application-specific identification or design preference.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH status difference between variants?

A: The 0307001207 (Gray) is marked as REACH Affected, while 0307001208 (Black) and 0307001209 (Natural) are REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements should specify either the Black or Natural variant.

Q: Do all variants include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as specified in the design documentation.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why is it relevant?

A: All variants carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions apply.
