Molex 0936010012 Heavy Duty Crimp Socket Contact – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0936010012 is a stamped crimp socket contact designed for heavy duty connector applications within the GWconnect series. This contact accommodates wire gauges from 14 to 18 AWG and features silver plating for reliable electrical performance. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible contact solutions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0936010012 is determined by the following parameters:

• Series Alignment: All substitute parts must belong to the GWconnect series
• Contact Type: Socket configuration with crimp termination
• Contact Finish: Silver plating for electrical compatibility
• Wire Gauge Coverage: Substitute parts must support wire gauges within or overlapping the 14-18 AWG range of the original part
• Compliance Status: All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The four active substitute parts (0936010043, 0936010045, 0936010047, 0936010049) are machined contacts that replace the original stamped design. Each substitute is optimized for a specific wire gauge within the supported range, allowing selection based on exact application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings to the original part. Selection should be based on the specific wire gauge requirement of the application:

• 0936010049: For 14 AWG wire applications
• 0936010047: For 16 AWG wire applications
• 0936010043 or 0936010045: For 18 AWG wire applications

The transition from stamped to machined contact construction in all substitutes provides improved contact reliability and consistency. All substitutes maintain the same silver contact finish and crimp termination method as the original part, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility within GWconnect connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different wire gauge than my original application?

A: No. Each substitute part is optimized for a specific wire gauge. The wire gauge must match the application requirement. Using an incorrect gauge may result in improper crimp connection and contact resistance issues.

Q: What is the difference between the stamped original and the machined substitutes?

A: The original 0936010012 uses stamped construction, while all substitutes employ machined construction. Machined contacts provide tighter tolerances and improved contact surface consistency, resulting in enhanced reliability for heavy duty applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with existing GWconnect connector housings?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are GWconnect series components with identical socket configuration and crimp termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing connector assemblies.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH affected status, matching the regulatory requirements of the original part.

Q: Which substitute should I select if my application uses mixed wire gauges?

A: Select the substitute that matches the predominant or critical wire gauge in your application. If multiple gauges are required, use the appropriate substitute for each gauge requirement within the same connector assembly.
