Molex 5046930600 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 5046930600 is a 6-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with a 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch. This component is part of the CP-3.3 504693 series and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications with crimp contact termination. The part is currently active in production status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, color specification requirements, or supply chain considerations while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 5046930600 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 6-position, 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch, single row
• Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging, in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening
• Material & Environmental: PBT insulation, -40°C ~ 105°C operating range, MSL 1
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliant

The substitute parts 5046930603 and 5046930604 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only variation is the insulation color (Yellow for 5046930603, Blue for 5046930604, versus Natural for the main part 5046930600). Color variation does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (5046930600, 5046930603, 5046930604) are active production items with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color Requirement: Choose the part number matching your specified insulation color (Natural, Yellow, or Blue).
2. Inventory Availability: All three parts are in stock. Current inventory levels are 972 pcs (5046930600), 13,189 pcs (5046930603), and 12,804 pcs (5046930604).
3. Supply Chain Continuity: Any of the three parts may be used interchangeably from a functional standpoint without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. The 5046930600, 5046930603, and 5046930604 are electrically identical. All feature 6 positions, 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch, female socket contacts, and identical termination and fastening specifications.

Q: Does the color variation affect performance or compatibility? A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings. All three parts operate identically across the -40°C ~ 105°C temperature range.

Q: Can I substitute one color variant for another in my design? A: From an engineering standpoint, yes. All three parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. However, verify that your application does not have specific color-coding requirements for assembly, testing, or identification purposes.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings? A: No. All three part numbers are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating? A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity precautions required. These parts do not require special storage or handling conditions.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All three part numbers meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.
