Molex 0010883302 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010883302 is an active-status rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 30-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch serves general purpose, automotive, lighting, medical, and telecommunications applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit functional equivalents that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0010883302 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway — functional classification for board-to-board or cable applications
• Contact Type: Male Pin — determines mating interface
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — physical installation method
• Termination: Solder — connection method to PCB
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — safety compliance requirement
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant — regulatory compliance requirement

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 9-103324-0 shares these critical parameters. However, the substitute differs in position count (80 vs. 30), which affects physical footprint and application scope. Substitution is valid only when the application can accommodate the larger connector or when breakaway capability allows use of a subset of positions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0010883302 and TE Connectivity 9-103324-0 maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 requirements. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific position requirements:

• Molex 0010883302: Select when exactly 30 positions are required and PCB layout constraints prohibit larger connectors.
• TE Connectivity 9-103324-0: Select when 80-position capacity is acceptable or when the breakaway feature permits use of a subset of positions. This part provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A), which may be required for certain applications.

Both parts share identical pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level. Insulation height and contact length variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for this connector class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 9-103324-0 replace the Molex 0010883302 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application can accommodate an 80-position connector or when the breakaway feature allows selective use of positions. The identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing, mounting type, and termination method ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility at the mating interface. PCB layout and mechanical envelope constraints must be evaluated.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are position count (30 vs. 80), insulation height (0.220" vs. 0.238"), and contact length for mating (0.320" vs. 0.318"). The TE Connectivity part provides specified operating temperature range and current rating, while the Molex part does not list these parameters. Both use identical pitch, row spacing, and termination methods.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and UL94 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0010883302 and TE Connectivity 9-103324-0 are ROHS3 Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.

Q: What is the significance of the breakaway feature?

A: The breakaway feature allows individual positions or groups of positions to be separated from the main connector body. This enables the 80-position TE Connectivity part to be configured for applications requiring fewer positions, provided the PCB layout and mechanical design accommodate this modification.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging type (Tube vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. It impacts logistics, storage, and handling but does not influence functional substitution.
