Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 1001131008 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Molex (maintained across substitute)
• Series: 100113 (maintained across substitute)
• Base Product Number: 100113 (maintained across substitute)
• Category: Pluggable Connectors (maintained across substitute)
• Description: GANGED CAGE (maintained across substitute)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained across substitute)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable (maintained across substitute)

The substitute part Molex 1001138008 shares the same manufacturer, series designation, base product number, and functional category. Both components are classified within the 100113 series ganged cage connector family and maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL status. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: Select Molex 1001138008 as the primary component choice. This part maintains active product status with full manufacturer support, ensuring long-term availability, technical documentation, and supply chain continuity. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries identical environmental classification to the original part.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The Molex 1001131008 remains available in inventory (857 pieces in stock) for applications requiring exact original component matching. However, transition to the active substitute 1001138008 is recommended for any design revisions or new production runs to eliminate obsolescence risk.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Not Applicable MSL status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 1001138008 directly replace Molex 1001131008 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical series designation (100113), base product number (100113), manufacturer (Molex), functional description (GANGED CAGE), and environmental compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL Not Applicable). The substitute is designed within the same product family and maintains compatibility with the connector category and specifications.

Q: Why is the original part 1001131008 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation of this specific model number. The substitute part 1001138008 represents the active equivalent within the 100113 series, providing continued access to ganged cage connector functionality with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers if they are in the same series?

A: Both parts belong to the 100113 series and share the same base product number. The difference in the final digits (1001131008 versus 1001138008) indicates distinct manufacturing configurations or revisions within the ganged cage connector family. The substitute maintains functional equivalence while offering active product status.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations when switching to the substitute part?

A: Both parts are listed with packaging designation as not specified in available documentation. Current inventory shows 857 pieces of the original part and 949 pieces of the substitute part in stock. For procurement planning, the active substitute offers greater long-term availability assurance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both Molex 1001131008 and Molex 1001138008 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Not Applicable MSL status, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance for manufacturing and deployment in electronic systems.
