Molex 0471516052 HDMI Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0471516052 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 identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0471516052 is determined by the following core parameters:

• Connector type: HDMI receptacle
• Contact count: 19 positions
• Gender: Receptacle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Mounting orientation: Right angle

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1747981-6 qualifies as a substitute based on matching these critical parameters. Both connectors are 19-position HDMI receptacles with solder termination, gold-plated contacts, shielded design, and right-angle mounting. Differences in mounting classification (panel mount vs. surface mount designation) and operating temperature ranges do not preclude functional equivalence in applications within the overlapping temperature window.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0471516052. Both connectors maintain RoHS compliance and share identical contact configuration, termination method, and contact finish specifications.

Selection of the TE Connectivity substitute is appropriate for applications operating within the overlapping temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The TE Connectivity connector provides documented mating cycle rating of 10,000 cycles, whereas the original part does not specify this parameter.

For applications requiring operation above 70°C, the original Molex part's extended upper temperature limit of 85°C cannot be matched by the listed substitute. In such cases, alternative HDMI receptacle connectors with equivalent temperature ratings must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0471516052?

A: Yes, within the overlapping operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. Both connectors are 19-position HDMI receptacles with identical contact configuration, solder termination, and gold-plated contacts. The TE Connectivity part is active and available, whereas the Molex part is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the mounting type designations?

A: The Molex part specifies surface mount and through-hole mounting, while the TE Connectivity part adds panel mount capability. Both connectors feature identical flange and horizontal mounting features, making them mechanically compatible in applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting?

A: Yes. The Molex original operates from -20°C to 85°C, while the TE Connectivity substitute operates from -25°C to 70°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C cannot use the substitute without additional thermal management evaluation.

Q: Do both connectors have the same electrical ratings?

A: Both are rated for 0.5A at 40V. The original specifies DC voltage, while the substitute specifies AC voltage. For DC applications, the original specification is more directly applicable, though the substitute's AC rating does not preclude DC operation at equivalent voltage levels.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1747981-6 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the original Molex part packaging is not specified in available documentation.
