Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0366380009 with the Molex 5007620483 is based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 48
• Mounting configuration: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening type: Latch Lock
• Insulation material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Contact finish: Tin
• Application category: Automotive
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Distinguishing Differences:

• Row configuration: 0366380009 has 3 rows; 5007620483 has 4 rows
• Insulation height: 0366380009 measures 1.205" (30.61mm); 5007620483 measures 1.063" (27.00mm)
• Positions loaded: 0366380009 has 36 positions loaded; 5007620483 has all positions loaded
• Contact material: 0366380009 uses Brass; 5007620483 uses Copper Alloy
• Product status: 0366380009 is Obsolete; 5007620483 is Active

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 5007620483 serves as an active substitute for the obsolete Molex 0366380009 based on functional equivalence in core connector architecture and electrical specifications. Both components share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting methodology, and termination approach, with compliance to automotive application standards.

The primary consideration for selection is the row configuration difference: the substitute part features 4 rows compared to the original 3-row design, resulting in a reduced insulation height of 1.063" versus 1.205". This dimensional variance requires verification against specific board layout and mating interface requirements to ensure mechanical compatibility within the intended assembly.

The 5007620483 provides enhanced compliance status through ROHS3 certification and maintains active product availability with substantial inventory levels, supporting long-term supply chain continuity. The contact material transition from Brass to Copper Alloy does not compromise electrical performance within the specified voltage and temperature operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 5007620483 directly replace the 0366380009 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement requires evaluation of board layout and mating connector geometry. The 4-row configuration and reduced insulation height (1.063" versus 1.205") may necessitate mechanical redesign of the mating interface. Electrical functionality remains compatible for automotive applications within the specified voltage and temperature parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the row configuration difference?

A: The original 0366380009 uses a 3-row arrangement with 36 positions loaded across 48 total positions. The substitute 5007620483 employs a 4-row configuration with all 48 positions loaded. This affects the physical footprint and contact density, requiring board-level design verification.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 0366380009 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 5007620483 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing an enhanced compliance level. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Does the contact material change from Brass to Copper Alloy affect performance?

A: Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for automotive applications. The tin finish on both mating and post contacts ensures consistent electrical interface performance across the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C and voltage rating of 250VAC/DC.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to this substitution?

A: The 0366380009 is obsolete with limited remaining stock (1169 pieces). The 5007620483 is an active product with substantial availability (2400 pieces in tray packaging), supporting ongoing production requirements and future supply chain stability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0366380009 packaging specification is not provided. The 5007620483 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for high-volume automotive connector applications and facilitates automated assembly processes.
