HDMI Receptacle Connector 0471516042 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0471516042 is a 19-position HDMI receptacle connector designed for surface mount and through-hole applications with right-angle orientation. This connector features a shielded design with gold-plated contacts and is rated for 0.5A DC at 40V. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain the same electrical ratings, contact configuration, and mechanical mounting compatibility while meeting current component availability and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0471516042 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be HDMI
• Number of Contacts: Must be 19 positions
• Gender: Must be Receptacle
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Shell Material: Must be Copper Alloy
• Insulation Color: Must be Black
• Shielding: Must be Shielded
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1747981-6 qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features Panel Mount capability in addition to Surface Mount and Right Angle orientation, it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The operating temperature range differs (-25°C to 70°C versus -20°C to 85°C), and voltage rating is specified as 40VAC rather than 40VDC; however, both ratings are equivalent for HDMI connector applications. The substitute includes rated mating cycles (10,000) and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, providing enhanced reliability documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 is an active product with current manufacturing status, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete Molex 0471516042. Both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements and share identical contact configuration, termination method, and electrical ratings within acceptable tolerances for HDMI applications.

The substitute part offers additional mechanical robustness through documented mating cycle rating (10,000 cycles) and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, which may provide enhanced reliability documentation for applications requiring formal compliance verification. The operating temperature range of the substitute (-25°C to 70°C) is narrower than the original part; applications requiring operation above 70°C or below -25°C must be evaluated against specific system requirements.

The Panel Mount capability of the substitute provides design flexibility for applications requiring panel-mounted configurations, while maintaining full compatibility with surface mount and through-hole implementations of the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0471516042 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 19-position HDMI receptacle configuration, gold-plated contacts, solder termination, and electrical ratings (0.5A, 40V). The substitute maintains the same mounting feature (flange, horizontal) and supports surface mount, right-angle, and through-hole implementations. Physical footprint compatibility must be verified for specific PCB layouts.

Q: What are the differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The Molex 0471516042 operates from -20°C to 85°C, while the TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 operates from -25°C to 70°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C must evaluate whether the substitute meets thermal requirements.

Q: Does the substitute part include mating cycle ratings?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 is rated for 10,000 mating cycles. The original Molex part does not specify mating cycle data. This additional specification provides documented reliability for high-cycle applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0471516042 is ROHS3 compliant, and the TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 is RoHS compliant. Both meet current environmental compliance standards.

Q: What is the significance of the Panel Mount capability in the substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 supports Panel Mount in addition to Surface Mount and Through Hole configurations. This provides design flexibility for applications requiring panel-mounted connectors while maintaining full compatibility with surface mount implementations of the original design.

Q: Are the voltage ratings equivalent?

A: Both connectors are rated at 40V. The original specifies 40V DC, while the substitute specifies 40V AC. For HDMI applications, these ratings are functionally equivalent and interchangeable.
