Discontinuation taken from Molex's own Product Change Notifications (PCNs) and legacy Global Change Notifications (GCNs) — Molex-authored PDFs opened in full as distributor mirrors (Mouser, DigiKey, TTI, Farnell/Newark, dac-group notification-service copies). Molex has no public EOL list or PCN portal; each generated notice PDF prints a governing PCN No / Part List naming every discontinued part once, and records are counted from that list (or a notice's printed obsolete / replacement table) only — customer-section repetitions are never double-counted. The 7 notices: PCN 517959 (249 records — obsolescence, Supplier Constraints), PCN 517969 (172 records — obsolescence, Newark/Farnell printing), PCN 515990 (137 records — obsolescence, every row with its printed Material → Replacement Material pairing), PCN 516077 (8 records — product design change with obsolescence, Guadalajara site 2, all 8 with named "Replacement with differences" successors), PCN 516605 (7 records — obsolescence, Tool Breakage, 3 with printed replacements), GCN 10726995 (2 records — microSIM Socket 1.6H) and GCN 10674455 (1 record — Series 94030 male terminal, obsolete without replacement).
Time-critical: PCN 517969's last time buy is still open — 12 December 2026 (last ship 12 March 2027), no replacement printed for any of its 172 parts. PCN 517959's last ship (30 November 2026) is still ahead though its buy window closed 31 August 2026. Every other notice's window has passed.
Counting basis, stated plainly: one record per unique discontinued part number in a notice's governing list (249 + 172 + 137 + 8 + 7 + 2 + 1 = 576 records; the seven part sets are pairwise disjoint). 148 records carry a printed per-part replacement — all 137 PCN 515990 rows, all 8 PCN 516077 rows and 3 PCN 516605 rows.
Honesty notes: PCN 515990's replacements ship exactly as printed in its DigiKey table — several print without leading zeros and are never zero-padded into different part numbers; one row prints the part as its own replacement, shipped as printed and flagged. Three Molex mega-notices opened in full are not in this file — PCN 514995 (978 parts), PCN 515981 (722 parts) and PCN 517169 — held as v2 slices and stated in the file. Molex has issued partial retractions of obsolescence PCNs (PCN 517229 / 517609); the 517609 copy names neither the retracted PCN nor any part, which is disclosed in the file, and the two counted notices issued after it postdate it. The dac-group mirror drops leading zeros in its text layer — PCN 517959 ships from it only because all 249 of its part tokens are full 10-digit numbers, verified programmatically.
Verification standard: Molex-authored notices only — the 7 notices above, each opened in full. Seven further genuine obsolescence notices whose opened printing prints no part number (501295, 511896, 512167, 512891, 516338, 517674, 518126) and all change-only / supplier / transfer notices are excluded, as is PCN 515002, whose only located copy corrupts leading zeros.
