Molex 0906350141 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0906350141 is a 14-position rectangular receptacle connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination on ribbon cables with 26-28 AWG wire gauge. This connector features gold-plated contacts, a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in a 2-row configuration, and is rated for feed-through applications in free-hanging inline mounting.

The 0906350141 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0906350141 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
Row Configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) for ribbon cable
Wire Compatibility: Support for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable
Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating (flash thickness minimum)
Mounting Style: Free-hanging inline configuration
Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The Adam Tech FCS-14-SG meets all critical substitution parameters. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, IDC termination method, gold contact finish, and compliance certifications. The FCS-14-SG is an active product with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the Molex part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Adam Tech FCS-14-SG is a direct functional equivalent to the Molex 0906350141 for applications requiring a 14-position IDC rectangular connector with 0.100" pitch and 2-row configuration.

Compliance & Certification Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Product Status Advantage: The FCS-14-SG is an active product with current manufacturing support, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete status of the Molex part. This ensures long-term availability for production, maintenance, and field replacement scenarios.

Additional Feature: The FCS-14-SG includes a polarizing key feature, which provides enhanced connector orientation control and reduces mating errors compared to the standard feed-through design of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Adam Tech FCS-14-SG directly replace the Molex 0906350141 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), IDC termination method, and gold contact finish. The FCS-14-SG is mechanically and electrically compatible with ribbon cables and mating connectors designed for the Molex part.

Q: What is the significance of the polarizing key feature on the FCS-14-SG?

A: The polarizing key is an additional mechanical feature that prevents incorrect connector orientation during mating. This feature is compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable applications and does not prevent mating with existing connector designs.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations for the FCS-14-SG?

A: The Molex 0906350141 specifies 26-28 AWG ribbon cable compatibility. While the FCS-14-SG datasheet does not explicitly state wire gauge in the provided parameters, the IDC termination method and connector design are standard for this pitch and position count, supporting the same wire gauge range.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Molex 0906350141 packaging is not specified in available data. The Adam Tech FCS-14-SG is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production and field replacement applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0906350141 and Adam Tech FCS-14-SG are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
