MX7-E-4SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MX7-E-4SC is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by JAE Electronics with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. The connector accommodates crimp-terminated female socket contacts and is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. Identifying compatible alternatives ensures access to functionally equivalent components from active product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MX7-E-4SC are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp

All identified substitute parts match these parameters exactly. Secondary parameters including insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications provide additional compatibility context but do not restrict substitution eligibility when primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

0511910400 (Molex 51191 Series)

This part is a direct parametric equivalent with active product status. The Molex 0511910400 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical specifications of the MX7-E-4SC. ROHS3 compliance exceeds the original RoHS requirement. High inventory availability (17,030 pcs) supports production continuity. This part is suitable for direct substitution in new designs and legacy system support.

1470222-4 (TE Connectivity HPI Series)

This part is a direct parametric equivalent with active product status. The TE Connectivity 1470222-4 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical specifications of the MX7-E-4SC. The ivory color specification is the only cosmetic distinction. RoHS compliance and MSL rating match the original part. Inventory availability (954 pcs) supports component sourcing. This part is suitable for direct substitution in new designs and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0511910400 and TE Connectivity 1470222-4 be used interchangeably with the MX7-E-4SC?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts match all critical parameters: 4-position receptacle, 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging in-line mounting. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through parameter alignment.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturing and supplier support. Substitute parts from active product lines ensure long-term component availability, technical support, and compliance with current industry standards.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between the substitute parts?

A: The Molex 0511910400 specifies Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 insulation. The TE Connectivity 1470222-4 specifies Thermoplastic insulation. Both materials are compatible with the application requirements defined by the original MX7-E-4SC specification.

Q: Does the color difference in the TE Connectivity part affect substitution?

A: The TE Connectivity 1470222-4 is specified in ivory color, while the original MX7-E-4SC color is not specified. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: All parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. The Molex 0511910400 carries ROHS3 certification. Both substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part specification.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts—the original MX7-E-4SC and both substitutes (0511910400 and 1470222-4)—are connector housings only. Crimp-terminated female socket contacts must be sourced separately.
