Replacing Obsolete WM9714-ND (Molex 0380020442)

This post is for informational purposes only. Please review the manufacturer data sheet to verify that any recommended part is suitable for your application.

WM9714-ND, aka 0380020442 from Molex has been discontinued, so I did some searching to see if we have any readily-available replacements and these seem to be our best two options:

First, part number 283-5145-ND made by Eaton this has similar spade terminals, but the jumper goes around the barrier instead of over, the reference photo on the display page for this part shows a good visual of what this means.
MFG_J201-P--J301-J

Second, WM9713-ND is a viable option that has a similar orientation to the original (jumping over instead of around the barrier) but it uses ring terminals instead of spade, which would make it more time consuming to install.

Each option has pros and cons; you’ll have to decide which works for you on a case by case basis.
