Molex 0459702111 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0459702111 is a 200 Position High Density Array rectangular connector with male configuration, designed for surface mount applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts and board guide support, operating at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch across 10 rows. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0459702111 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: High Density Array, Male configuration
• Number of Positions: 200 positions
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Number of Rows: 10 rows
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Height Above Board: 0.221" (5.61mm)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 7mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9.5mm, 10mm
• Features: Board Guide
• Series: SEARAY 45970
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Substitute parts must match all electrical and mechanical parameters without exception. Packaging format differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0459702115 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 0459702111. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the SEARAY 45970 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 0459702111 is obsolete while the 0459702115 remains active in production.

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 0459702115 is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The packaging difference (bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect functional compatibility and represents a supply chain consideration only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0459702115 directly replace the 0459702111 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 0459702115 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact finish, and board height. Direct substitution is functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 0459702111 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by Molex. The 0459702115 is active, meaning it is currently produced and available through authorized distribution channels. For ongoing production, the active part number is the appropriate choice.

Q: Does the packaging format difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 0459702111 is supplied in bulk packaging while the 0459702115 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This difference relates to supply chain logistics and handling procedures only. The connector itself is identical and performs the same function regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0459702111 and 0459702115 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by exact equivalence in connector type (High Density Array, Male), position count (200), pitch (0.050"), row configuration (10), mounting type (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold at 30.0µin thickness), board height (0.221"), stacking heights (7mm through 10mm), and series designation (SEARAY 45970).
