Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0430613005 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 5-position arrangement with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch
• Mechanical Interface: Single-row, free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Locking ramp fastening system
• Series Compatibility: SPOX 43061 series designation
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part 0430610005 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and housing color variation (natural versus black), which do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0430610005 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 0430613005. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the SPOX 43061 series, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring 5-position receptacle housings with 3.96mm pitch and locking ramp fastening.

Selection of the 0430610005 is supported by:

• Product Status: Active manufacturing status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, satisfying environmental and reliability requirements
• Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the same SPOX 43061 series, guaranteeing mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing contact sets and mating plugs

The housing color difference (natural versus black) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit and is a cosmetic variation only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0430610005 directly replace the 0430613005 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical within the SPOX 43061 series. They accommodate the same contact sets, mate with identical plug housings, and maintain the same pitch, row configuration, and fastening mechanism.

Q: Does the color difference between black (0430613005) and natural (0430610005) affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional interchangeability.

Q: Why is the 0430613005 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that Molex has discontinued active manufacturing of this part number. The 0430610005 serves as the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0430613005 and 0430610005 are ROHS3 compliant and carry an MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), meeting current environmental and reliability standards.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle), contact configuration (female socket, 5-position), pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), row arrangement (single row), mounting style (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (locking ramp), and series designation (SPOX 43061).

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0430613005 and 0430610005 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.
