Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0780362001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge compatibility: 18-22 AWG
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact finish: Tin
• Electrical function: Socket contact for signal or power transmission
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1217113-2 qualifies as a substitute based on matching wire gauge (18-22 AWG), crimp termination, tin contact finish, and equivalent compliance status. While the substitute represents a different connector category (quick connect terminal versus rectangular connector socket), the electrical and mechanical parameters align with the functional requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1217113-2 is an active product with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the Molex 0780362001. Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute part carries significantly higher inventory availability (27,352 pieces) compared to the original part (865 pieces), supporting long-term supply chain stability.

Selection of the substitute should be validated against specific connector housing and mating interface requirements, as the parts represent different connector form factors despite equivalent electrical parameters.
