Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0989691301 is based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence within the NSCC rectangular connector housing category:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Molex (maintained across all substitutes)
• Base Product Number: 098969 (ensures compatibility within the same connector platform)
• Series: NSCC (defines the connector system architecture)
• Connector Size Rating: 1.5mm (mechanical and electrical interface specification)
• Category: Rectangular Connectors - Housings (functional classification)
• RoHS Compliance: Required for current manufacturing standards

The substitute part 0989691141 shares the base product number 098969 and NSCC series designation, confirming compatibility within the same connector ecosystem. Both parts operate within the 1.5mm connector specification framework. The substitute part maintains RoHS compliance and represents an active product status, providing long-term supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0989691141 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 0989691301. Both components are manufactured by Molex, share the same base product number (098969), and operate within the NSCC rectangular connector series at the 1.5mm specification level. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

The 0989691141 is designated as an active product with current inventory availability, providing assured supply chain continuity. The 0989691301, while currently in stock with 1036 units available, carries an obsolete status designation. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 0989691141 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts are classified under Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 or equivalent, indicating minimal moisture handling precautions during storage and assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0989691141 directly replace the 0989691301 in existing assemblies?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (098969) and NSCC series designation, confirming compatibility within the same connector platform. The 1.5mm connector size rating is identical across both components. Direct substitution is supported by the shared platform architecture.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 0989691301 is designated as obsolete, indicating that Molex has discontinued active manufacturing and support for this component. The 0989691141 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, manufacturer support, and compliance with current standards. For production continuity, the active part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 0989691301 and 0989691141 are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic components.

Q: What are the moisture sensitivity requirements for these components?

A: The 0989691301 is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity. The 0989691141 is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, which is consistent with housing components that do not require moisture-sensitive device handling protocols.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for component selection?

A: The 0989691301 currently has 1036 units in stock, while the 0989691141 has 1098 units available. However, the obsolete status of the 0989691301 means that once existing inventory is depleted, no additional stock will be available. The active status of the 0989691141 ensures replenishment capability for ongoing requirements.

Q: How do the part descriptions differ between these components?

A: The 0989691301 is described as an NSCC HRNS clamp block, while the 0989691141 is described as an NSCC receptacle connector. Both function as housing components within the NSCC rectangular connector series and maintain compatibility through the shared base product number and series designation.
