Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0532650849 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Connector Architecture: Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and style (Board to Cable/Wire) must be identical.

Physical Dimensions: Pitch-mating (0.138" / 3.50mm), number of positions (15), number of rows (1), number of positions loaded (8), insulation height (0.413" / 10.50mm), and contact shape (Square) must match exactly.

Mounting and Termination: Mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Press-Fit, Solder), fastening type (Locking Ramp), and shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall) must be identical.

Material and Performance Specifications: Contact material (Brass), contact finish (Tin), insulation material (PBTP), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), voltage rating (250V), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and RoHS compliance must be maintained.

The Molex 0532650829 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product within the same 53265 series.

Parameter Comparison
