Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0855135114 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0855135102 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same connector type (jack), contact configuration (6p6c), mounting method (surface mount vertical), termination approach (solder), shielding classification (unshielded), and performance rating (Cat3). The housing material, contact composition, contact finish, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications are identical across both parts. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status: the 0855135102 is obsolete and supplied in standard packaging, while the 0855135114 is active and available in Tape & Reel format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0855135114 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 0855135102. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental specifications. The 0855135114 offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed availability and Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. Selection of the 0855135114 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional equivalence in modular jack connector applications requiring 6p6c RJ-series configurations with vertical surface mount solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0855135114 be used as a direct replacement for the 0855135102 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0855135114 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 0855135102 across all specified parameters including connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, termination method, shielding, and performance rating. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 0855135102 is obsolete with standard packaging, while the 0855135114 is an active product supplied in Tape & Reel format. The Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0855135102 and 0855135114 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
