Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0933020004 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge rating: 10-12 AWG (exact match required)
• Contact type: Pin configuration
• Termination method: Crimp
• Application category: Photovoltaic (Solar Panel) Connectors
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part UTXFM4R from Amphenol Industrial Operations meets all functional and electrical requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference is contact finish material (tin versus silver), which does not affect electrical performance in solar connector applications where both finishes are acceptable for the specified wire gauge and termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Industrial Operations UTXFM4R is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0933020004. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 10-12 AWG photovoltaic connector applications. The UTXFM4R offers the advantage of active product status with established supply chain availability (16,689 units in stock versus 926 units for the legacy part). Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings appropriate for outdoor solar panel installations. The tin contact finish of the UTXFM4R provides equivalent performance to the silver finish of the original part in this application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol UTXFM4R directly replace the Molex 0933020004 in existing solar panel connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge ratings (10-12 AWG), pin configuration, crimp termination method, and moisture sensitivity specifications. The contact finish difference (tin versus silver) does not affect functional compatibility in photovoltaic applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete versus Active)?

A: The Molex 0933020004 is no longer manufactured. The Amphenol UTXFM4R maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and replacement requirements.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0933020004 is ROHS3 compliant, and the Amphenol UTXFM4R is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: Does the packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Cut Tape for the UTXFM4R) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume needs.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating, and why is it relevant for solar applications?

A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. This rating is appropriate for outdoor photovoltaic installations exposed to varying humidity and environmental conditions.
