Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0855135101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8P8C (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mounting: Surface Mount, Vertical orientation
• Termination Method: Solder
• Electrical Rating: Cat3
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Housing Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper Alloy with Gold finish
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part Molex 0855135113 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0855135113 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0855135101. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the same 85513 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The 0855135113 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The packaging difference (standard versus Tape & Reel) reflects manufacturing and supply chain considerations rather than functional capability. Selection between these formats depends on procurement volume and assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0855135101 and 0855135113 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration (8P8C RJ45), mounting type (surface mount vertical), termination method (solder), shielding (unshielded), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 0855135101 to 0855135113?
