Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® series parts (77317-103-08LF, 77317-104-08LF, 77317-112-08LF, 77317-403-08LF, 77317-803-08LF) and the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II part (68021-108HLF) are active products with RoHS compliance. These parts maintain the 2.54mm pitch, 8-position, 2-row configuration and through-hole right-angle mounting. Contact length variations fall within the allowable range. All are rated for 3A per contact and UL94 V-0 flammability. Operating temperature ranges extend to 130°C, exceeding the original part's capability.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable Compatibility):

The Harwin Inc. M20 series (M20-9740442, M20-9740446) and Preci-Dip series (802-10-008-20-001101, 892-18-008-20-002101) are active products with ROHS3 compliance. These maintain pitch, position count, and row spacing. Contact lengths and post dimensions remain within specification. Operating temperature ranges are -40°C to 105°C (Harwin) and -55°C to 125°C (Preci-Dip), which may be limiting for applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below -40°C.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are RoHS compliant (either RoHS or ROHS3). The original Molex part is ROHS3 compliant. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) across all parts. All meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the Molex 0010892086 with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts meet the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 2.54mm pitch, 8 positions, 2 rows, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and male pin contact type. Physical dimensions and contact lengths fall within allowable ranges for board-to-board connectivity.

Q: What is the main difference between the Amphenol BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series?

A: The BERGSTIK® II (68021-108HLF) is a newer product line with active status. Both series maintain identical pitch, position count, and row spacing. Contact length variations are within specification. BERGSTIK® II offers extended operating temperature to 125°C.

Q: Are there contact finish differences I should consider?

A: Yes. The original part specifies gold mating finish with tin post finish. Substitute options include gold mating finish (68021-108HLF, 77317-103-08LF, 77317-104-08LF, 77317-112-08LF, 77317-803-08LF, 802-10-008-20-001101, 892-18-008-20-002101, M20-9740442) or tin mating finish (77317-403-08LF, M20-9740446). Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and signal integrity.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Substitute parts are available in Bag packaging (68021-108HLF, 77317-403-08LF, 77317-803-08LF), Bulk packaging (77317-103-08LF, 77317-104-08LF, 77317-112-08LF, 892-18-008-20-002101, M20-9740442, M20-9740446), or unspecified packaging (802-10-008-20-001101). Select packaging based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Amphenol BERGSTIK® series (77317-103-08LF, 77317-104-08LF, 77317-112-08LF, 77317-403-08LF, 77317-803-08LF) operates from -65°C to 130°C, providing the broadest temperature envelope for demanding automotive and industrial applications.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: All substitute parts are currently in stock with quantities ranging from 742 to 5319 pieces, ensuring supply continuity for design transitions from the obsolete Molex part.
