Molex 0382210015 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0382210015 is a 15-circuit barrier block connector with 0.563" (14.30mm) pitch, featuring dual-wall barrier construction and screw termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Barrier block connectors of this specification are used in industrial control systems, power distribution panels, and equipment requiring secure screw-based wire termination with dual-wall isolation. The obsolete status necessitates sourcing equivalent active-production alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0382210015 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit count: 15 circuits (non-negotiable)
• Pitch spacing: 0.563" (14.30mm) (non-negotiable)
• Barrier configuration: 2-wall dual barrier (non-negotiable)
• Termination method: Screw-based top entry (non-negotiable)
• Physical form factor: Flanged, chassis/panel mount (non-negotiable)
• Electrical isolation: Closed bottom termination (non-negotiable)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1546310-5 meets all these criteria and is classified as active production status, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1546310-5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Molex 0382210015. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications across all critical parameters.

The TE Connectivity part carries active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. This substitution is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs without modification to PCB layouts, panel cutouts, or wire gauge specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1546310-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0382210015?

A: Yes. Both components share identical circuit count (15), pitch spacing (0.563"), barrier configuration (2-wall dual), termination method (screw-based), and mounting form factor (flanged chassis/panel mount). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Molex 0382210015 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-5 is an active-production equivalent that maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge or current rating between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-5 specifies 10-22 AWG wire gauge and 30A current rating. The Molex 0382210015 does not provide these specifications in the available documentation. Both components support the same physical wire entry configuration (30 entries across 15 circuits).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0382210015 and TE Connectivity 1-1546310-5 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the difference in terminal screw material finish?

A: The Molex 0382210015 uses zinc with clear chromate finish. The TE Connectivity 1-1546310-5 uses nickel finish. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for industrial control applications.
