Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and active product status, the TE Connectivity 5-146258-3 and Molex 0015916062 are primary alternatives. The TE Connectivity 5-146258-3 maintains through-hole mounting with active product status and RoHS compliance. The Molex 0015916062 is a surface-mount variant with active status and ROHS3 compliance, suitable only for applications where surface-mount technology is specified.

For through-hole applications with active product status and RoHS compliance, the Amphenol ICC 10076801-101-06LF (BERGSTIK series) provides an alternative with phosphor bronze contacts matching the original contact material.

The 3M 2300 series (2306-6121-TB, 2306-6121-TG, 2306-6121-TP) and TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series (4-103777-0-03, 4-103783-0-03) are functionally equivalent but carry RoHS non-compliant status. These are suitable for legacy applications or non-regulated environments where RoHS compliance is not required.

The Mill-Max 450 series (450-10-206-00-001000, 450-10-206-00-006000) provides ROHS3-compliant alternatives with active product status. These connectors feature circular contact geometry and brass alloy construction, differing from the square contact design of the original part. Material flammability rating is not specified for these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0015916062 replace the 0010892061 in existing designs?

A: The Molex 0015916062 is a surface-mount variant, while the 0010892061 is through-hole. Direct substitution requires PCB redesign. The 0015916062 is suitable only for new designs or boards with surface-mount capability.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 5-146258-3 and the original part?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-146258-3 uses tin-plated mating contacts instead of gold, and liquid crystal polymer insulation instead of polyester. Both maintain 2.54mm pitch, 6-position, 2-row configuration with through-hole mounting and push-pull fastening.

Q: Are the 3M 2300 series connectors suitable for new production?

A: The 3M 2300 series parts are active products but carry RoHS non-compliant status. They are suitable for legacy applications or environments where RoHS compliance is not mandated. For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, select RoHS-compliant alternatives.

Q: What distinguishes the Mill-Max 450 series from other substitutes?

A: The Mill-Max 450 series features circular contact geometry and brass alloy construction, differing from the square contact design of the original part. These connectors are ROHS3 compliant and active products. Contact geometry differences may affect mating force and insertion characteristics.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC 10076801-101-06LF as a direct replacement?

A: The Amphenol ICC 10076801-101-06LF maintains the same pitch, position count, row configuration, and through-hole mounting. It uses phosphor bronze contacts matching the original material. Insulation height is 0.112" compared to 0.090" in the original, which may affect board clearance in constrained layouts.

Q: What compliance considerations apply when selecting a substitute?

A: For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select parts with RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status. The original part is ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 5-146258-3, Molex 0015916062, Amphenol ICC 10076801-101-06LF, and Mill-Max 450 series maintain RoHS compliance. The 3M 2300 series and TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II obsolete variants are RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there differences in current rating between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original Molex 0010892061 does not specify a current rating. The TE Connectivity 5-146258-3 and Amphenol ICC 10076801-101-06LF specify 3A per contact. The 3M 2300 series specifies 3A. Current rating specifications vary across substitutes; verify application requirements before selection.
