Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0459713115 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0459713113 based on the following critical parameters:

All electrical specifications are identical: 300 positions, 0.050" pitch, 10-row configuration, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and identical mated stacking height options (7mm through 12mm). Mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical surface mount configuration, height above board (0.199"), and board guide feature. Both parts belong to the SEARAY 45971 series, confirming design family compatibility.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status and compliance: the 0459713113 is obsolete, while the 0459713115 is active. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs (Tape & Reel for the substitute versus unspecified for the original), but this does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0459713115 is the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity. The original 0459713113 is obsolete and presents supply chain risk. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The 0459713115 carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets. The original part's RoHS non-compliant status may restrict its use in applications subject to RoHS directives. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent trade compliance profiles.

For applications requiring component qualification or design validation, the identical electrical and mechanical parameters between the two parts support direct substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0459713113 and 0459713115 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 300 positions, 0.050" pitch, 10-row configuration, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Can the 0459713115 be used as a direct replacement on existing PCBs designed for the 0459713113?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically identical with matching height above board (0.199"), mated stacking heights (7mm through 12mm), and surface mount configuration. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: Product lifecycle status and compliance certifications. The 0459713113 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 0459713115 is active and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. The 0459713115 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is a handling and delivery format. This does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance when installed on the PCB.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer and series?

A: Yes. Both are Molex components from the SEARAY 45971 series, confirming design family compatibility and interchangeability.
