Molex 0901230113 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0901230113 is a 13-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is part of the C-Grid III 90123 series and is actively manufactured. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit equivalent housing selection from qualified manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0901230113 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
Number of Positions: Must be 13
Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Rows: Must be 1
Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Must be Crimp

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in insulation material, color, operating temperature range, and manufacturer series do not prevent functional substitution when these primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are actively manufactured and RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to or exceeding the Molex 0901230113.

TE Connectivity 2-87499-3 and 2-87499-4 (AMPMODU Mod IV series) provide direct functional equivalence with extended low-temperature operating range (-65°C versus -55°C). Both parts are from the same manufacturer series and differ only in base product designation.

Amphenol ICC 65240-013LF (DUBOX™/MezzSelect™/Basics+ series) offers the widest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and includes glass-filled thermoplastic insulation material. The blue housing color differs from the original black specification; this distinction is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Selection among substitutes should be based on availability, supply chain requirements, and any design-specific constraints related to operating temperature or housing color.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 2-87499-3 and 2-87499-4 be used interchangeably with the Molex 0901230113?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all critical substitution parameters: 13-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, single-row, free-hanging in-line mounting, and crimp termination. Both are from the AMPMODU Mod IV series and maintain functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference in the Amphenol ICC 65240-013LF?

A: The Amphenol part features blue housing versus black on the original Molex part. Color is a cosmetic identifier and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact compatibility. Selection should be based on design documentation requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0901230113 is ROHS3 compliant, and all three substitute parts are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity substitute parts 2-87499-3 and 2-87499-4?

A: Both parts are from the AMPMODU Mod IV series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in base product number designation (87499-3 versus 87499-4). Functionally, they are equivalent for this 13-position receptacle housing application.

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 65240-013LF be used in applications requiring the -55°C to 105°C temperature range?

A: Yes. The Amphenol part operates across -65°C to 125°C, which encompasses the original -55°C to 105°C range. The extended temperature capability provides additional operational margin.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts in this comparison are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and selected to match the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and crimp termination specification.
