Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Molex 0441500029

Part Overview

The Molex 0441500029 is an 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) modular jack connector with right-angle orientation and shielding for EMI protection. This connector is designed for Ethernet (RJ45) applications and features a through-hole solder termination with board lock functionality. The part is currently active in production with 854 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part HARTING 09562527613 is listed as a manufacturer-recommended alternative. However, a direct functional substitution cannot be established based on the provided parameters.

The HARTING 09562527613 is a 26-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector, which differs fundamentally from the Molex 0441500029 in the following critical parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub (26-pin high-density) versus modular jack (8p8c)
• Contact count: 26 positions versus 8 positions
• Connector form factor: D-shaped shell versus modular RJ45 form factor
• Application category: General-purpose D-Sub versus Ethernet-specific modular connector

These differences indicate that the HARTING part serves a different application category and cannot function as a direct equivalent replacement for the Molex modular jack connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 85°C), with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

The Molex 0441500029 remains the specified component for Ethernet (RJ45) modular jack applications. The HARTING 09562527613 is a D-Sub connector intended for different application categories and cannot serve as a functional replacement due to incompatible form factors and contact configurations.

Selection of the appropriate connector must be based on the application's electrical interface requirements, physical form factor constraints, and mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09562527613 replace the Molex 0441500029 in an Ethernet application?

A: No. The HARTING part is a 26-position D-Sub connector, while the Molex part is an 8-position modular jack (RJ45). These connectors have incompatible form factors and cannot mate with the same interface.

Q: What are the critical parameters for modular jack connector substitution?

A: Direct substitution requires matching connector type (jack), position count (8p8c), orientation (90° right angle), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), and shielding specification (shielded with EMI finger).

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0441500029 and HARTING 09562527613 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) and EAR99 classification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the Molex 0441500029?

A: The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, matching the HARTING substitute specification.

Q: Why would a substitute part be necessary for the Molex 0441500029?

A: Substitute parts are identified for inventory continuity, extended lead time mitigation, or supply chain diversification when the primary part becomes unavailable or constrained.
