Molex Connector End-of-Life
Molex has indicated that the MX123 connector series are scheduled for end of life. These connectors are used on all of the MC4 and XC4 series modules. Does Parker have any information on potential future compatible replacement parts?
Answer
The supplier have decided to change part numbers on all of their harness connectors used in the MX123 connector family due to an improvement in Wire Dress Cover retention. The replacements have no change in form, fit or function.
This will affect following parts that we recommend using for IQAN-_C4_ family and also the IQAN-MD5 family:
Part numbers change:
IQAN-_C4_:
66-P connector 34822-0013 -> 216741-0001
73-P connector 34566-0103 -> 216739-0001
Dress cover 34565-0003 -> 34565-0005
IQAN-MD5:
56-P connector 34576-0703 -> 216742-0001
56-P connector 34576-1903 -> 216742-0007
Dress cover 34575-0003 -> 34575-0005
We will update our documentation to reflect this change.
