Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0513820601 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Series Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute share the MicroClasp 51382 series designation, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector ecosystem.

Pitch and Position Configuration: The 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 6-position configuration are maintained across substitute components, guaranteeing proper mating with corresponding plug housings and contact arrangements.

Connector Type and Contact Architecture: The receptacle housing with female socket contacts defines the functional role within wire-to-board assemblies and establishes compatibility requirements for mating components.

Mounting and Termination Methods: Free hanging (in-line) mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening are preserved in substitute parts to maintain assembly process compatibility.

Material and Environmental Specifications: Polyamide (PA66) insulation material and operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C establish the environmental performance envelope for substitute selection.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status and ECCN classification ensure that substitute parts meet applicable regulatory requirements for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0513820600 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 0513820601. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the MicroClasp 51382 series, with full compatibility in pitch, position count, contact type, and mounting configuration.

The substitute part 0513820600 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The component carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original part and satisfies current regulatory requirements.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99, confirming equivalent export control status. The substitute part carries Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 designation, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions, which provides superior handling flexibility compared to the original part specification.

Selection of the 0513820600 as a replacement for the 0513820601 requires no design modifications, assembly process changes, or contact configuration adjustments. The components are functionally and mechanically interchangeable within the specified application envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the Molex 0513820601?

A: The 0513820601 is classified as obsolete. The 0513820600 is the active equivalent component that maintains full compatibility while ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are the 0513820601 and 0513820600 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (6), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and fastening method (latch lock). No mechanical modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Do the substitute and original parts have the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), termination method (crimp), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in color between the two parts?

A: The original part 0513820601 is specified as black. The substitute part 0513820600 is specified as white. This is a visual distinction only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The substitute carries ROHS3 certification, which represents current regulatory compliance. Both share identical ECCN classification (EAR99). The substitute part carries MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. The 0513820600 housing is supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing during assembly, consistent with the original part specification.

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

A: The 0513820600 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production environments and automated assembly processes.

Q: Can the 0513820600 be used in new designs as well as replacement applications?

A: Yes. The 0513820600 is an active product with full production support. It is suitable for both new design implementations and field replacement of obsolete 0513820601 components.
