Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 1202480048 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1200550592. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: MPIS M12 connector architecture, 5-pin 8-position configuration, non-shielded design, 15-meter cable assembly, and dual connector setup.

The primary advantage of selecting 1202480048 is its Active product status, which guarantees ongoing manufacturing support, documented supply availability, and compliance with current regulatory frameworks. Both parts carry identical ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8544.42.9090 classifications, ensuring equivalent export and tariff treatment.

The substitute part is manufactured from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) material with documented features including 8 connector openings, dust-tight and waterproof design, and Input/Output unit functionality. These specifications align with the functional requirements of the original part for sensor and transducer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 1202480048 directly replace the 1200550592 in existing installations?
