Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts for the Molex 0351640500 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:
- Number of Positions: 5
- Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
- Connector Type: Board-In
- Contact Type: Male Pin
- Number of Rows: 1
- Contact Termination: Crimp
- RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
- MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
Two substitute parts meet these criteria. The Molex 0350220005 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering active product status with Through Hole and Right Angle mounting options. The Molex 0510350500 is a parametric equivalent that maintains all core electrical and mechanical specifications while providing Board Mount configuration identical to the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1, meeting the same environmental and regulatory requirements as the original 0351640500. The selection between substitutes depends on mounting configuration requirements:
The Molex 0350220005 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is suitable for applications requiring Through Hole or Right Angle mounting configurations. This part offers active product status with documented operating temperature range and specified insulation material composition.
The Molex 0510350500 is the parametric equivalent for applications maintaining the original Board Mount configuration. This part provides direct form-fit-function compatibility with identical mounting type and active product status with equivalent thermal and material specifications.
Both parts maintain identical electrical connectivity through matching position count, pitch, contact type, and termination method. Selection should be based on the specific mounting requirements of the target application.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Molex 0350220005 be used as a direct replacement for the 0351640500?
A: The 0350220005 matches all critical electrical parameters and is manufacturer-recommended. However, it features Through Hole and Right Angle mounting options, whereas the original uses Board Mount. Physical board layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.
Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?
A: The primary difference is mounting type. The 0350220005 offers Through Hole and Right Angle configurations, while the 0510350500 maintains the original Board Mount type. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent in terms of position count, pitch, contact type, and termination method.
Q: Are both substitute parts in active production?
A: Yes. Both the Molex 0350220005 and 0510350500 carry active product status with significantly higher inventory availability compared to the obsolete 0351640500.
Q: Do the substitute parts have the same environmental ratings?
A: Both substitute parts specify operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), matching the environmental compliance profile of the original part.
Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?
A: The Molex 0350220005 and 0510350500 are supplied in Bulk packaging configuration.
Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?
A: No. All three parts (original and substitutes) are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.
