Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0382210013 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit Configuration: 13 circuits with 26 wire entries across 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.563" (14.30mm) center-to-center spacing
• Termination Method: Screw-based top termination with closed bottom termination
• Barrier Construction: Dual-wall (2 Wall) barrier type
• Mounting Interface: Chassis and panel mounting capability
• Physical Form Factor: Flanged barrier block design in black color

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-1546310-3 satisfies all these critical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. This substitute maintains identical circuit density, pitch, termination architecture, and mounting characteristics while offering enhanced electrical specifications and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0382210013?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit configuration (13 circuits), pitch (0.563"), termination architecture (screw top, closed bottom), barrier type (dual-wall), and mounting interface (chassis/panel). Physical form factor and electrical interface are equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are material composition (phenolic vs. PBT insulation), product status (obsolete vs. active), and specification documentation. The TE Connectivity part provides explicit electrical ratings (30A, 300V) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 120°C), while the Molex part does not specify these parameters.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the Molex part with the TE Connectivity equivalent?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for applications where the TE Connectivity electrical specifications (30A, 300V, -40°C ~ 120°C) meet or exceed system requirements. The identical pitch and termination method ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mounting and wiring infrastructure.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Molex 0382210013 is supplied in standard packaging, while the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the Molex part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence classification indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. The TE Connectivity equivalent remains in active production, making it the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing system support.
