Why the 15-cycle rating matters for your design
The 5034710200: The 15 mating cycles listed for this connector tell you it's built for semi-permanent connections — think internal harnesses or modules that get mated once during assembly and rarely disconnected in the field. That's not a limitation for a fixed installation, but if your design requires frequent disconnect for service or reconfiguration, this isn't the right choice. The tin contact finish, while cost-effective, contributes to that cycle limit; tin frets under repeated wipe, so the contact resistance drifts after more than a few mate-unmate events.
Last Buy — plan your final order now
This part carries a Last Buy status from Molex. That means the factory has stopped regular production, and the remaining channel inventory is the last available supply. If you have an active BOM that uses the 5034710200, this is the window to secure your lifetime buy or arrange a last-time purchase.
No official replacement on record
Molex has not published a direct successor order code for the 5034710200. If you need to qualify an alternative, look for a 2-position, 0.146" (3.70mm) pitch, right-angle SMT receptacle with a latch lock from the same series or a compatible footprint. Without an official cross-reference, any substitution requires a board-layout and electrical review against the original part's 2A/500V rating and tin contact finish.
What mates with this connector
The 5034710200 is a receptacle that mates with the corresponding Flexi-Mate 503471 series plug or header — look for a male counterpart with the same 0.146" (3.70mm) pitch, 2 positions, and latch-compatible housing. Confirm the mating half's orientation (straight vs right-angle) matches your cable or board routing before ordering.
