Molex 0441500007 Modular Connector RJ45 Jack – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0441500007 is a shielded modular jack connector (8P8C/RJ45) with 90° right-angle orientation, designed for Ethernet and Cat5 applications. This connector features through-hole solder termination, EMI shielding with finger contacts, and board lock functionality. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0441500007 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type and contact configuration (8P8C/RJ45 jack)
• Number of ports (6-port configuration)
• Mounting type (through hole)
• Orientation (90° right angle)
• Termination method (solder)
• Shielding type (shielded with EMI finger)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. Molex 0441500013 – Direct manufacturer equivalent. Active product status. Identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging differs (Tray vs. original packaging).

2. Molex 0441500029 – Direct manufacturer equivalent. Active product status. Identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging differs (Tray vs. original packaging).

3. Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL – Functional alternative with significant parameter differences. 6-port RJ45 through-hole configuration with 90° right-angle orientation and solder termination. Operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) is narrower than the main part. Contact finish thickness (30.0µin) differs from main part (50.0µin). Suitable for applications within its specified temperature range.

4. HARTING 09562527613 – Not a direct substitute. D-Sub HD receptacle (26-position, 3-row) with fundamentally different connector type, contact configuration, and electrical characteristics. Included in cross-reference data but does not meet substitution criteria for RJ45 jack applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Molex 0441500013 and 0441500029):

Both Molex alternatives are direct functional equivalents with active product status. They maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 0441500007, including operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), contact finish thickness (50.0µin), and Cat5 ratings. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection between these two Molex options is based on packaging availability (Tray) and inventory levels. Current stock availability: 0441500013 (829 Pcs), 0441500029 (854 Pcs).

Secondary Substitute (Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL):

The Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL is a functional alternative for applications operating within its specified temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C). This part is suitable for standard commercial Ethernet environments but does not support the full industrial temperature range of the original part (-40°C ~ 85°C). Contact finish thickness is reduced (30.0µin vs. 50.0µin), which may affect long-term contact reliability in high-cycle mating applications. RoHS compliance is confirmed. Selection of this alternative requires verification that application temperature requirements do not exceed 70°C.

Non-Substitute (HARTING 09562527613):

The HARTING 09562527613 is a D-Sub HD receptacle with fundamentally different connector architecture (26-position, 3-row, high-density D-Sub vs. 8P8C modular jack). This part does not meet substitution criteria and is not recommended for RJ45 jack applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0441500013 or 0441500029 be used as direct replacements for the obsolete 0441500007?

A: Yes. Both parts are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, port count, orientation, termination method, shielding, and operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format (Tray). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the key difference between the Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL and the Molex alternatives?

A: The Pulse Electronics part has a narrower operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C) and reduced contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. 50.0µin). It is suitable for standard commercial applications but not for industrial temperature environments or high-cycle mating scenarios requiring thicker gold plating.

Q: Why is the HARTING 09562527613 listed in the cross-reference but not recommended as a substitute?

A: The HARTING part is a D-Sub HD receptacle with a completely different connector type, contact configuration (26-position vs. 8P8C), and form factor (3-row vs. 1-row). It does not meet the electrical or mechanical requirements for RJ45 jack applications and is not a functional substitute.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Molex 0441500013 and 0441500029 are ROHS3 compliant. Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL is RoHS compliant. All parts are REACH unaffected.

Q: What inventory levels are available for the recommended substitutes?

A: Molex 0441500013: 829 Pcs. Molex 0441500029: 854 Pcs. Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL: 833 Pcs.

Q: Can the Pulse Electronics J8064E66NL be used in applications requiring the full -40°C ~ 85°C temperature range?

A: No. The Pulse Electronics part is rated only to 0°C ~ 70°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 70°C must use Molex 0441500013 or 0441500029.
