Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0353621210 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (12 positions, 1 row)
• Mating pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination style (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (125V)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The Molex 0353621210 has one direct substitute within the Sherlock 35362 series: the 0353621250. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while differing in contact finish composition and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0353621250 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0353621210. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all mechanical and electrical parameters within the Sherlock 35362 series. The primary distinction is regulatory compliance: the 0353621250 carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 0353621210 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or procurement requiring regulatory alignment with current standards, the 0353621250 is the appropriate selection. The 0353621250 is currently in active production with substantial inventory availability (13,255 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0353621250 directly replace the 0353621210 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0353621250 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and connector interface specifications. Both parts feature 12 positions, 2.00mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and locking ramp fastening. Substitution requires no design modification.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 0353621210 uses Tin-Lead finish at 78.7µin (2.00µm) thickness on both mating and post contacts. The 0353621250 uses Tin finish at 39.4µin (1.00µm) thickness. Both finishes meet the same electrical and mechanical performance requirements for this connector category.

Q: Why is the 0353621210 listed as obsolete?

A: The 0353621210 is obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status. The 0353621250 represents the current production equivalent with ROHS3 compliance, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0353621210 packaging is listed as unspecified in the provided data. The 0353621250 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm specific packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: What is the mated stacking height for the 0353621250?

A: The 0353621250 specifies a mated stacking height of 8.5mm. This dimension is relevant for applications requiring precise connector stack-up calculations in multi-connector assemblies.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the 0353621210 and 0353621250 are rated for automotive and general-purpose applications. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and UL94 V-0 flammability rating support automotive environmental requirements.
