Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0513820307 is based on the following critical parameters:

Pitch Compatibility: The 2.0mm (0.079") pitch is the primary mechanical constraint. Substitute parts must maintain identical pitch specifications to ensure proper mating with existing contact sets and cable assemblies.

Circuit Count: The 3-position configuration is a functional requirement. Substitute housings must accommodate exactly 3 circuits to match the original application requirements.

Connector Series: Both the main part and substitute belong to the Molex 051382 base product family, ensuring design compatibility within the same connector ecosystem.

Housing Type: The substitute part is classified as a receptacle housing with female socket contacts, maintaining the same functional role as the original component.

Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance is maintained across the substitute part, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental restrictions.

The substitute part 0513820307 → 0513820300 represents an active production equivalent within the same product family, offering improved availability while preserving electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0513820300 directly replace the 0513820307 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.0mm), position count (3), and base product family (051382). The 0513820300 is the manufacturer-designated substitute and maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference (brown vs. white)?

A: The original part is specified as brown, while the substitute is white. Color designation in connector housings is typically a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Verify color requirements for your specific application.

Q: Are contacts included with the substitute part?

A: No. The 0513820300 specification explicitly states "Contacts Not Included." Contacts must be sourced separately and must be compatible with the 2.0mm pitch and 3-position configuration.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both designations confirm environmental compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both parts are compliant and suitable for applications subject to environmental regulations.

Q: Does the substitute part support the same operating temperature range?

A: The substitute part 0513820300 operates across -40°C to 105°C. The original part's operating temperature range is not specified in the provided data. Verify temperature requirements for your application.

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

A: The 0513820300 is supplied in bulk packaging, as specified in the product data. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are there any other substitutes available for the 0513820307?

A: Based on the provided data, the 0513820300 is the only listed substitute. Additional alternatives may exist within the Molex 051382 product family; consult Molex documentation for comprehensive options.
