Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0382111113 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 13 circuits with 26 wire entries and 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specification: 0.563" (14.30mm) center-to-center spacing
• Electrical Ratings: 30A current capacity and 300V voltage rating
• Barrier Construction: Dual-wall (2 Wall) barrier type with flange
• Mounting Interface: Chassis and panel mounting compatibility
• Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Environmental Classification: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1546310-3 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching circuit count, pitch, electrical ratings, barrier configuration, mounting type, and safety certifications. Differences in termination method (screws vs. solder tabs), wire gauge range, operating temperature, insulation material, and terminal screw composition represent design variations that do not preclude functional substitution in applications where the substitute's specifications are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 is an active-status substitute for the obsolete Molex 0382111113. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (30A, 300V), circuit configuration (13 circuits, 0.563" pitch), and safety compliance (UL94 V-0). The substitute's active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Selection between these components depends on termination method compatibility: the original part uses solder tab termination, while the substitute uses screw termination. The substitute accommodates a wider wire gauge range (10-22 AWG vs. 10-18 AWG), providing additional flexibility for conductor sizing. Both components meet RoHS compliance requirements and share identical moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 directly replace the Molex 0382111113 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible if the application's termination method can accommodate screw-based connection instead of solder tabs. The matching pitch, circuit count, electrical ratings, and mounting interface ensure functional compatibility at the connector level.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The termination method differs: the Molex part features solder tabs for PCB or wire soldering, while the TE Connectivity part uses screw terminals for mechanical wire connection. This distinction affects assembly process and field serviceability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0382111113 is ROHS3 compliant, and the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 is RoHS compliant. Both meet environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the wider wire gauge range of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: The TE Connectivity part accepts 10-22 AWG wire, compared to the original's 10-18 AWG specification. This expanded range does not reduce compatibility; it provides additional conductor sizing options without compromising connection integrity.

Q: What is the significance of the "Active" product status for the substitute?

A: Active status indicates the TE Connectivity part is currently manufactured and available through distribution channels, ensuring long-term supply availability and support, unlike the obsolete Molex part.
