Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0382101113 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Functional Parameters (Must Match):

• Terminal Block Type: Barrier Block
• Number of Circuits: 13
• Pitch: 0.563" (14.30mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Current Rating: 30A
• Voltage Rating: 300V
• Top Termination: Screws with Captive Plate
• Barrier Type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Mounting Type: Chassis, Panel
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Wire Gauge: Substitute may support extended range (10-22 AWG vs. 10-18 AWG)
• Bottom Termination: Closed termination acceptable as alternative to Solder Tab
• Terminal Screw Material & Finish: Steel with Nickel finish acceptable
• Insulation Material: PBT acceptable as alternative to Phenolic
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may have different range if minimum threshold supports application
• Product Status: Active status preferred for obsolete parts

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1546311-3 meets all core functional requirements and is classified as an equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1546311-3 is the qualified equivalent substitute for Molex 0382101113.

Basis for Selection:

All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification. The substitute maintains identical circuit count, pitch, current and voltage ratings, barrier configuration, and mounting compatibility. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and meet RoHS compliance requirements.

The TE Connectivity part carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. This addresses the primary limitation of the Molex 0382101113 Obsolete designation.

Parameter Variations:

The TE Connectivity substitute features PBT insulation material instead of Phenolic and Closed bottom termination instead of Solder Tab. These variations are within acceptable engineering tolerances for barrier block connector applications. The extended wire gauge range (10-22 AWG vs. 10-18 AWG) provides additional flexibility for conductor sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1546311-3 directly replace the Molex 0382101113 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit count, pitch spacing, current/voltage ratings, and mounting configuration. Physical form factor and electrical performance are equivalent. The difference in bottom termination type (Closed vs. Solder Tab) requires verification of the specific PCB or mounting interface design.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials (Phenolic vs. PBT)?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for 300V applications. PBT offers improved moisture resistance and dimensional stability. Material selection should be verified against specific environmental and thermal operating conditions of the application.

Q: Does the extended wire gauge range (10-22 AWG) of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute accommodates the original 10-18 AWG range and extends capability to 22 AWG. This provides additional flexibility for conductor sizing without compromising compatibility with existing wire specifications.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for this substitution?

A: The Molex 0382101113 is listed as Obsolete with 999 Pcs in stock. The TE Connectivity 1-1546311-3 is Active status with 695 Pcs available. For long-term production requirements, the Active status substitute ensures sustained supply availability.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and meet RoHS compliance standards. The Molex part is ROHS3 Compliant; the TE Connectivity part is RoHS Compliant. Both are suitable for regulated applications requiring environmental and safety compliance documentation.
