Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0875310001 is based on strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current Rating: 1A per Contact (minimum requirement)
• Voltage Rating: 30V or higher

All substitute parts listed are TE Connectivity AMP Connectors from the 292303 series, which maintain identical mechanical form factors and electrical specifications. These parts are active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (1-292303-2, 1775545-1, 292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, 292303-8) provide direct mechanical and electrical substitution for the obsolete Molex 0875310001.

Compliance Advantages: All substitute parts are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original Molex part does not meet. The TE 292303-6 variant carries ROHS3 compliance, providing the highest regulatory standard.

Operational Improvements: TE substitute parts specify operating temperature ranges of -55°C to 85°C, extending beyond the original part's 0°C to 40°C range. All active TE parts document 1500 mating cycles, providing quantified reliability data absent from the original specification.

Packaging Considerations: Selection between substitute variants depends on packaging requirements: 1-292303-2 and 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in Bulk packaging; 292303-5 is supplied in Tube; 1775545-1 packaging is not specified; 292303-8 is supplied in Bulk. Insulation color varies between Black (1-292303-2, 292303-4, 292303-6) and Natural (292303-5, 292303-8).

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels range from 733 to 6580 units across variants, with 292303-6 offering the highest availability at 6580 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity parts directly replace the Molex 0875310001 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical mechanical form factors (through-hole, right-angle, horizontal mounting) and electrical specifications (4-position USB-A receptacle, 1A per contact, 30V rating, board lock feature, shielded construction). Direct pin-for-pin substitution is supported without circuit board modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the Molex 0875310001?

A: The original part is obsolete. TE Connectivity 292303 series variants are active products with current manufacturing and long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0875310001 is RoHS non-compliant. All TE substitute parts are RoHS compliant, with 292303-6 meeting ROHS3 standards. This addresses regulatory requirements for new designs and markets with RoHS mandates.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges differ?

A: The original Molex part operates from 0°C to 40°C. All TE substitutes operate from -55°C to 85°C, providing broader thermal performance suitable for industrial and extended-temperature applications.

Q: Which substitute variant should I select?

A: Selection depends on packaging and insulation color requirements. For bulk packaging with black insulation, use 292303-4 or 292303-6. For tube packaging with natural insulation, use 292303-5. For highest regulatory compliance, specify 292303-6 (ROHS3). All variants are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Is contact finish compatibility a concern?

A: No. The original part specifies gold plating. TE substitutes specify gold or gold-palladium plating, which is compatible with existing mating connectors and provides equivalent electrical performance.

Q: What shell material differences exist?

A: The original Molex part uses copper alloy shielding. TE substitutes use stainless steel (most variants) or brass (1775545-1). All materials maintain shielding effectiveness and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.
