Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Same Series – DuraClik 560123):

No direct series equivalents are available. The main part 5601230804 is the only DuraClik 560123 series option with the specified blue color and extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 130°C).

Secondary Substitutes (DuraClik Series – Alternative Models):

5023510801 (DuraClik 502351, Black): Maintains DuraClik series designation with ROHS3 compliance and highest inventory availability (30,309 units). Operating temperature reduced to -40°C ~ 105°C.
5023510800 (DuraClik 502351, Natural): DuraClik series alternative with ROHS3 compliance and 22,042 units in stock. Operating temperature -40°C ~ 105°C.
5051510800 (DuraClik 505151, Black): DuraClik series option with Polyester insulation material and -40°C ~ 125°C operating range. ROHS3 compliant with 17,507 units available.

Tertiary Substitutes (Mini50 Series – Alternative Models):

0347910080 (Mini50 34791, Black): ROHS3 compliant with 25,184 units in stock. Operating temperature -40°C ~ 105°C. Bulk packaging.
0347910081 (Mini50 34791, Gray): ROHS3 compliant with 6,454 units in stock. Operating temperature -40°C ~ 105°C. Bulk packaging.
0347910082 (Mini50 34791, Gray): RoHS non-compliant. Not recommended for applications requiring RoHS certification. Operating temperature -40°C ~ 105°C.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts except 0347910082 carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection should account for application-specific regulatory requirements and thermal operating conditions. Parts with reduced operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 105°C) are not suitable for applications requiring the extended -40°C ~ 130°C range of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 5601230804 with any of the listed alternatives?

A: Substitution is possible only when the application does not require the specific color (blue) or extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 130°C) of the main part. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications for the 8-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle housing.

Q: What is the difference between the DuraClik and Mini50 series substitutes?

A: Both series are Molex rectangular connector housings with identical 8-position, 2.00mm pitch specifications. The primary differences are series designation, color options, and in some cases, insulation material composition. DuraClik series parts (5023510800, 5023510801, 5051510800) and Mini50 series parts (0347910080, 0347910081, 0347910082) are functionally equivalent for connector housing applications.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect compatibility?

A: Operating temperature range does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. However, applications requiring operation above 105°C must use either the main part 5601230804 (-40°C ~ 130°C) or 5051510800 (-40°C ~ 125°C). For applications operating within -40°C ~ 105°C, all substitute parts are suitable.

Q: What is the significance of packaging type (Bag vs. Bulk)?

A: The main part 5601230804 is supplied in Bag packaging with 705 units in stock. All substitute parts are supplied in Bulk packaging with higher inventory quantities. Packaging type does not affect component functionality or compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement volume requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Six of the seven substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Part 0347910082 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be selected for applications requiring RoHS certification. The main part 5601230804 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different insulation material?

A: Yes. The main part uses PBT and Polyester insulation materials. Substitute parts use either PBT or Polyester individually. Part 5051510800 uses Polyester insulation and maintains full functional equivalence. Material selection does not affect connector housing compatibility.

Q: What should I consider when selecting between substitute parts?

A: Selection criteria include: (1) operating temperature requirements, (2) RoHS/REACH compliance mandates, (3) color specification for visual identification or application requirements, (4) inventory availability and lead time, and (5) series preference if standardization is required within a product line.
