Molex 0901522360 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0901522360 is a 60-position receptacle connector featuring 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and gold-plated mating contacts. This connector is designed for board-to-board applications with push-pull fastening and solder termination. The part is currently active in production with 1044 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative qualified sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0901522360 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 60
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Mating contact finish: Gold
• Insulation material: Polyester, glass filled

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 3-535512-0 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, electrical contact configurations, and mounting characteristics. Differences in secondary parameters such as operating temperature range, current rating, and compliance certifications are noted in the parameter comparison table and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0901522360 and TE Connectivity 3-535512-0 are active production parts with equivalent mechanical and electrical interfaces. Selection between these parts must account for the following compliance and performance differences:

The Molex 0901522360 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, making it suitable for applications subject to European regulatory requirements. The TE Connectivity 3-535512-0 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, requiring evaluation against specific application compliance mandates.

The Molex part supports a 3A current rating at 350V, while the TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 2A with unspecified voltage. Applications requiring the full 3A current capacity must use the Molex part. The TE Connectivity part offers an extended operating temperature range to 125°C compared to the Molex specification of 105°C.

Both parts feature identical mating contact finish specifications (30.0µin gold) and insulation materials. Minor dimensional variations in insulation height (0.230" versus 0.238") and contact post length (0.114" versus 0.115") are within typical manufacturing tolerances for this connector class and do not affect mechanical interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0901522360 and TE Connectivity 3-535512-0 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), position count (60), mounting style (through-hole right angle), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Dimensional variations in insulation height and contact post length are within acceptable tolerances for this connector category.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: The Molex part is rated for 3A at 350V. The TE Connectivity substitute is rated for 2A with unspecified voltage. Applications requiring 3A current capacity must use the Molex part. The TE Connectivity part supports operation to 125°C versus 105°C for the Molex part.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The Molex 0901522360 is ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 3-535512-0 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must use the Molex part.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Both parts feature 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts. Post contact finish differs: Molex uses tin plating at 118.1µin (3.00µm), while TE Connectivity uses tin-lead plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm). These differences do not affect mating interface performance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both connectors are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity part be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Substitution is permissible only when the application current requirement does not exceed 2A, compliance requirements do not mandate RoHS certification, and the extended operating temperature capability of the TE Connectivity part does not create thermal management conflicts. Electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent.
