Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0382110113 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 13 circuits with 26 wire entries across 2 rows
• Electrical Ratings: 30A current capacity and 300V voltage rating
• Mechanical Compatibility: 0.563" (14.30mm) pitch spacing and flange-mounted chassis/panel design
• Termination Method: Screw-based top termination with closed bottom termination
• Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and dual-wall barrier construction

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1546310-3 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical circuit count, pitch, electrical ratings, barrier configuration, and mounting specifications. Differences in wire gauge acceptance range (10-22 AWG vs. 10-18 AWG), insulation material, and operating temperature do not prevent functional substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 is the primary substitute for the obsolete Molex 0382110113. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The TE Connectivity part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete Molex component.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical circuit count, pitch spacing, current and voltage ratings, and mounting configuration. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Compliance and Safety: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain RoHS compliance. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS certification, meeting current regulatory standards.

Wire Gauge Flexibility: The TE Connectivity substitute accepts a broader wire gauge range (10-22 AWG versus 10-18 AWG), providing additional flexibility for applications using smaller gauge conductors within the 30A current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0382110113?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit count (13), pitch spacing (0.563"), electrical ratings (30A/300V), barrier configuration (dual-wall), and mounting type (chassis/panel). Direct substitution is supported without modification to the circuit board or wiring harness.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), wire gauge acceptance range (10-18 AWG vs. 10-22 AWG), insulation material (phenolic vs. PBT), terminal screw finish (zinc chromate vs. nickel), and operating temperature range. These differences do not affect functional compatibility for applications designed for the original Molex part.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the different insulation materials?

A: No. Both phenolic and PBT insulation materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for 300V applications. Material selection does not impact electrical performance or safety in this application.

Q: Does the broader wire gauge range of the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part accepts 10-22 AWG wire, which includes the full 10-18 AWG range of the original Molex part. This expanded range provides additional flexibility without compromising compatibility with existing wiring designs.

Q: What is the significance of the different terminal screw finishes?

A: The Molex part uses zinc with clear chromate finish, while the TE Connectivity part uses nickel finish. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for industrial control applications. Finish selection does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.
