Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0459713383 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Identical position count (240 positions)
• Matching connector type (High Density Array, Female)
• Identical pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Same row configuration (8 rows)
• Identical mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Matching contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Identical height above board (0.258" / 6.55mm)
• Matching mated stacking height options
• Equivalent board guide feature
• Same moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The substitute part 04597133831 meets all these criteria while offering improved product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0459713381 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 0459713383. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters.

Selection basis:

The 0459713381 offers active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in restricted substance directives. The substitute maintains the same electrical performance characteristics, contact geometry, and mechanical interface specifications as the original part.

For new designs or component refresh cycles, the 0459713381 is the appropriate selection. For existing assemblies using the 0459713383, the 0459713381 provides direct compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0459713383 and 0459713381 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 240-position high-density array female connectors with identical pitch (0.050"), row configuration (8 rows), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), and electrical ratings. They operate identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 0459713383 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 0459713381 is active and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs: the substitute is supplied in trays. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 0459713381 as a direct replacement in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 0459713381 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting footprint, and height above board (0.258" / 6.55mm). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (tray versus unspecified) affects only procurement and handling logistics, not component performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Are there any compliance advantages to using the 0459713381?

A: Yes. The 0459713381 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The 0459713383 does not carry these certifications.

Q: What are the mated stacking height options?

A: Both parts support identical mated stacking heights: 8.5mm, 9mm, 9.5mm, 10mm, 11mm, 11.5mm, and 14.6mm. Selection depends on application-specific spacing requirements.
