Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Molex 0855135010

Part Overview

The Molex 0855135010 is an active modular jack connector designed for 6-position 6-contact (6p6c) applications including RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 standards. This vertical, unshielded surface-mount connector features solder termination and is rated for Category 3 performance. The component is manufactured from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with glass reinforcement and employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are maintained across the connector interface, contact configuration, mounting method, and environmental ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0855135010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

  • Contact configuration (6p6c for RJ11/RJ12/RJ14/RJ25 compatibility)
  • Connector type (jack configuration)
  • Mounting method (surface mount)
  • Orientation (vertical)
  • Termination approach (solder)
  • Shielding classification (unshielded)
  • Performance rating (Cat3)
  • Environmental compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
  • Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-338086-3 meets all specified electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution. Both components maintain identical contact positioning, mounting footprint compatibility, and regulatory compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0855135010 and TE Connectivity 1-338086-3 are active products with identical regulatory compliance profiles. Selection between these components should be based on:

  • Availability and lead time requirements
  • Inventory status (Molex: 770 pcs; TE Connectivity: 2100 pcs)
  • Housing material compatibility with application environment (LCP vs. PA9T)
  • Contact material performance in specific circuit conditions (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze)
  • Supplier qualification and procurement procedures

Both components satisfy ROHS3, REACH, and export control requirements. Operating temperature specifications are equivalent where provided. Moisture sensitivity classification is identical, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-338086-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0855135010?

A: Yes. Both components share identical contact configuration (6p6c), mounting method (surface mount vertical), termination approach (solder), shielding classification (unshielded), and performance rating (Cat3). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material (LCP vs. PA9T) and contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze). Both materials are suitable for Cat3 applications. Contact finish specifications differ slightly in documentation (Flash vs. unspecified thickness), though both employ gold plating.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting?

A: The Molex part specifies -40°C to 85°C operating range. The TE Connectivity part does not provide an explicit temperature range in the available data. Verify TE Connectivity operating temperature specifications against application requirements before final selection.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are the packaging formats compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, maintaining compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).
