Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0432028900 is based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8P10C
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded with EMI Finger protection
• Rating: Cat4
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating (50.0µin)
• Housing material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts identified (0432498900 and 0432498909) maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved supply availability. Both substitutes belong to the Molex 43249 series and are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 0432028900 from the 43202 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0432028900 is obsolete and no longer in active production. Both substitute parts (0432498900 and 0432498909) are active products from Molex and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Selection between the two substitutes depends on shielding requirements:

• 0432498900: Provides standard shielding without EMI finger protection. Select this part if EMI finger functionality is not required by the application.

• 0432498909: Includes both shielding and EMI finger protection, matching the exact shielding specification of the original 0432028900. Select this part for direct functional equivalence.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring compliance with current regulatory requirements and eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0432498900 be used as a direct replacement for the 0432028900?

A: The 0432498900 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 0432028900 in all parameters except shielding configuration. The 0432498900 provides standard shielding without EMI finger protection, while the original includes EMI finger protection. If EMI finger protection is required for your application, use 0432498909 instead.

Q: What is the difference between 0432498900 and 0432498909?

A: Both parts are identical except for shielding. The 0432498900 has standard shielding, while the 0432498909 includes EMI finger protection in addition to shielding. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original 0432028900 packaging information is not specified. Both substitute parts (0432498900 and 0432498909) are supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly and logistics requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both 0432498900 and 0432498909 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) as the original 0432028900. All parts share identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and contact specifications.

Q: Why is the original 0432028900 obsolete?

A: The 0432028900 belongs to the Molex 43202 series, which has been superseded by the 43249 series. The substitute parts from the 43249 series represent the current active product line for this connector type and are the recommended alternatives for new designs and ongoing production.
