Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0382100113 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 13 circuits with 26 wire entries
• Pitch Specification: 0.563" (14.30mm) center-to-center spacing
• Electrical Ratings: 30A current capacity and 300V voltage rating
• Termination Method: Screw-based top termination with closed bottom
• Barrier Construction: Dual-wall (2 Wall) barrier type
• Mounting Interface: Chassis and panel mounting capability
• Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1546310-3 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical circuit count, pitch, electrical ratings, termination style, barrier configuration, and mounting compatibility. Differences in wire gauge acceptance range, insulation material, operating temperature range, and terminal finish do not prevent functional substitution in applications designed for the original Molex component.
