Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 1000171913 is based on alignment within the same base product family (100017 series) and shared connector category classification. The recommended substitute, Molex 1000173913, maintains the core CAGE connector architecture while advancing to an Active product status. Both components share the Molex manufacturer designation and pluggable connector category, establishing the foundation for substitution eligibility.

The substitution logic is determined by the following key parameters:

• Base Product Number alignment (100017 series)
• Connector category classification (Pluggable Connectors / CAGE)
• Manufacturer consistency (Molex)
• Product family continuity

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 1000173913 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 1000171913. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Transition: The substitute part maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current production standards. The original part's Obsolete designation creates supply chain risk and limits access to technical documentation updates.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180, indicating current export control and tariff compliance alignment. The original part is marked OBSOLETE for ECCN purposes.

Product Family Continuity: Both components share the 100017 base product number, confirming they belong to the same connector family and design lineage.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part maintains current inventory of 788 pieces in new original condition, supporting immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the Molex 1000171913 listed as Obsolete?

A: The Molex 1000171913 has reached end-of-life status and is no longer manufactured or actively supported by Molex. Obsolete designation indicates the component is not available for new orders from the manufacturer and may have limited technical support resources.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1000171913 and the recommended substitute 1000173913?

A: The 1000173913 is a ZQSFP+ Cage connector with ganged (1 x 4) configuration and integrated heat sink, representing an advanced iteration within the 100017 product family. The original 1000171913 is a basic Position Connector. Both maintain CAGE connector architecture and Molex manufacturing.

Q: Are both parts compatible within the same connector family?

A: Both components share the 100017 base product number and CAGE connector classification, confirming they belong to the same product family. However, the specific connector type differences (Position Connector versus ZQSFP+ Ganged with Heat Sink) must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the original part?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. The substitute part lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating it does not require moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Should I transition to the substitute part immediately?

A: Transition decisions depend on application compatibility requirements. The original part maintains current inventory availability (1124 pieces). Evaluation of the substitute part's specific connector configuration (ZQSFP+ Ganged 1 x 4 with Heat Sink) against system requirements is necessary before implementation.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Molex 1000173913 carries ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS tariff code 8538.90.8180, indicating compliance with current export control and international trade regulations.
