Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0900590013 and TE Connectivity 2-382811-1 are active production components with equivalent compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Supply Chain Availability: The TE Connectivity part maintains higher inventory levels (47,943 pcs vs. 883 pcs), providing improved procurement reliability.
Compliance Equivalence: Both parts meet RoHS3/RoHS compliance requirements and maintain REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment across manufacturing environments.
Mechanical Interchangeability: Identical pitch, position count, contact configuration, and housing material ensure direct mechanical and electrical substitution without design modification.
Current Rating: The Molex part specifies 1.5A; the TE Connectivity part does not specify current rating in available documentation. Verify TE Connectivity part current rating against application requirements before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-382811-1 directly replace the Molex 0900590013 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position configuration (2-position, 1 x 2), contact type (female sockets), and housing material (polyester, glass-filled). No PCB or assembly modifications are required for mechanical substitution.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The Molex part specifies RoHS3 compliance; the TE Connectivity part specifies RoHS compliance. Both meet current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the significance of the height specification difference?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies a height of 0.250" (6.35mm), while the Molex part does not provide height specification. This dimension affects PCB clearance and assembly fit. Verify available PCB clearance against the TE Connectivity height specification before substitution in space-constrained applications.

Q: How do current ratings compare between these parts?

A: The Molex part specifies 1.5A current rating. The TE Connectivity part does not provide current rating in available documentation. Confirm TE Connectivity part current rating meets application requirements before final component selection.

Q: Are contact finish specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature tin contact finish. The TE Connectivity part specifies contact finish thickness of 100.0µin (2.54µm), providing additional detail for corrosion resistance and contact reliability assessment.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk quantity requirements and reel/tape specifications against procurement and assembly process requirements before ordering.
