Molex 0460150211 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0460150211 is a rectangular connector header, through-hole mounted, with 2 positions arranged in 2 rows. This component is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement. The Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 series connector provides board-to-cable/wire connectivity with shrouded 4-wall construction and locking ramp fastening. Substitute parts maintain functional equivalence while offering active product status and improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (2), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm), mounting type (Through Hole), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), termination method (Solder), fastening type (Locking Ramp), contact post length (0.138" / 4.60mm), insulation height (0.504" / 12.80mm), contact finish (Tin on both mating and post surfaces), contact material (Copper Alloy), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1).

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

0460150203 - Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 series, Active product status, identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, with Natural insulation color and Tray packaging.

1726750213 - Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS 172675 series, Active product status, functionally equivalent across all critical parameters with minor variations in contact shape (Rectangular vs. Square) and material flammability rating (UL94 V-2 vs. UL94 V-0), plus additional Glow Wire Compliance feature.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

0460150203 is the primary substitute for Molex 0460150211. Both parts belong to the identical Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 series with matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0460150203 maintains Active product status with superior inventory availability (3413 units) and identical UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The only distinction is insulation color (Natural vs. Black), which does not affect functional performance. This part is suitable for direct replacement in all applications.

1726750213 serves as a secondary substitute with full functional equivalence across critical parameters. This part belongs to the Mini-Fit Plus HCS 172675 series and maintains Active product status. Differences include contact shape (Rectangular vs. Square), material flammability rating (UL94 V-2 vs. UL94 V-0), and additional Glow Wire Compliance certification. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the lower flammability rating and rectangular contact geometry are acceptable for the target application. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0460150203 be used as a direct replacement for 0460150211?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 series with identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and electrical specifications. The only difference is insulation color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What are the key differences between 0460150203 and 1726750213?

A: Both are functionally equivalent substitutes. The 0460150203 maintains the same series designation and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) as the original part. The 1726750213 belongs to a different series (HCS 172675) with a lower flammability rating (UL94 V-2), rectangular contact shape instead of square, and includes Glow Wire Compliance certification. Selection depends on application-specific flammability and contact geometry requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 0460150211 and both substitutes 0460150203 and 1726750213 are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part 0460150211 is supplied in standard packaging. Both substitutes 0460150203 and 1726750213 are supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for active production parts.

Q: Does contact shape difference between 0460150203 and 1726750213 affect compatibility?

A: Contact shape (Square vs. Rectangular) is a mechanical characteristic that may affect mating interface geometry. Confirm that the mating connector is compatible with the selected contact shape before implementation.

Q: Which substitute has better inventory availability?

A: The 0460150203 has the highest inventory level at 3413 units, compared to 962 units for 1726750213. The original 0460150211 has 1032 units in stock.
