Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitutes (Active Status, ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant):
The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series parts 67996-128HLF, 67996-228HLF, 67996-428HLF, 67997-128HLF, and 67997-228HLF are recommended as primary substitutes. All are active products with RoHS compliance and ROHS3 compliance status. These parts maintain the 28-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" pitch and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The BERGSTIK® II series offers extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 125°C or -65°C to 130°C) compared to the original Molex part, providing improved thermal performance for demanding applications.
Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, RoHS Compliant):
The TE Connectivity 6-146259-4 (AMPMODU Mod II series) and Amphenol ICC 54102-S0814LF (BERGSTIK® series) are active alternatives with RoHS compliance. Both maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification. The TE Connectivity part operates from -65°C to 105°C, while the Amphenol ICC 54102-S0814LF does not specify operating temperature limits.
Alternative Substitute (Active Status, ROHS3 Compliant):
The Preci-Dip 450-10-228-00-006101 (450 series) is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). This part features circular contact geometry and gold-plated posts, distinguishing it from the square-pin alternatives. It is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and superior corrosion resistance.
Not Recommended for New Designs:
The 3M 2328-6181-TG is classified as active but carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation. This part is not suitable for new designs subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the Molex 0010892281?
A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 28 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pins, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. PCB footprints and mating connectors designed for the original part will accept these substitutes without modification.
Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series?
A: Both series meet the substitution criteria. The BERGSTIK® II series (67996 and 67997 base numbers) offers extended operating temperature ranges and is the current active product line. The original BERGSTIK® series (54102 base number) remains active and provides equivalent electrical performance.
Q: Does contact finish affect compatibility?
A: Contact finish variations (gold, tin, or tin-lead) do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for signal-level applications. Gold-plated mating contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and are preferred for long-term reliability. Tin-plated alternatives are acceptable for standard applications.
Q: Are there packaging differences I should consider?
A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Bulk, Bag, and Tape & Reel. Packaging does not affect component performance or compatibility. Select packaging based on production volume and handling requirements.
Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and REACH compliance status?
A: RoHS compliance indicates the part does not contain restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.). ROHS3 Compliant status confirms compliance with the latest RoHS 3 directive. REACH Unaffected status indicates the part is not subject to REACH chemical restrictions. For new designs, select parts with ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status to ensure regulatory compliance.
Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?
A: Yes, all listed substitutes are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. However, for production consistency and supply chain management, it is recommended to standardize on a single substitute part number per design.
Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?
A: All substitute parts are rated for 3A per contact, suitable for standard signal and low-power applications. Verify that your application current requirements do not exceed this rating.
Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between substitutes?
A: Operating temperature ranges vary among substitutes. The Amphenol ICC 67997 series and Preci-Dip 450 series offer the highest temperature ratings (-65°C to 130°C and -55°C to 125°C respectively), making them suitable for high-temperature applications. Select based on your specific thermal requirements.
