Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0357501210 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular configuration
• Stud/Tab Size: 8 Stud
• Wire Gauge Range: 14-18 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 41332 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete Molex component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 41332 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0357501210. Both components share identical specifications for all critical functional parameters: circular terminal type, 8 stud configuration, 14-18 AWG wire gauge range, crimp termination, brass contact material with tin finish, and non-insulated construction.

The TE Connectivity 41332 is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity. Both components maintain equivalent RoHS compliance certifications and ECCN classification (EAR99), supporting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The minor dimensional variation in overall length (0.640" versus 0.598") does not affect functional compatibility in standard ring terminal applications, as both dimensions fall within acceptable tolerances for 8 stud circular connectors in this wire gauge category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 41332 directly replace the Molex 0357501210 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical specifications for terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, termination method, and contact materials. The 41332 is functionally equivalent and suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the overall length difference between these parts?

A: The Molex 0357501210 measures 0.598" (15.20mm) while the TE Connectivity 41332 measures 0.640" (16.26mm). This 0.042" (1.06mm) difference is within normal manufacturing tolerances for ring terminal connectors and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The Molex part carries ROHS3 certification while the TE Connectivity part carries RoHS certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for industrial applications. REACH status differs (Molex is REACH Unaffected; TE Connectivity is Vendor Undefined), but both components share the same ECCN classification (EAR99).

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity 41332 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling in production environments.

Q: Why is the Molex 0357501210 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the component is no longer manufactured by Molex. The TE Connectivity 41332 provides functional continuity for applications requiring 14-18 AWG ring terminal connectors with 8 stud circular configuration.
