Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0010892406 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical compatibility
• Number of Positions: 40 — must match for circuit connectivity
• Number of Rows: 2 — must match for physical layout
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match for board-level alignment
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — must match for PCB assembly
• Connector Type: Header — must be header configuration
• Contact Type: Male Pin — must be male pin configuration
• Termination: Solder — must use solder termination
• Shrouding: Unsshrouded — must be unshrouded design
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — must meet or exceed this standard
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant — must maintain compliance

The Preci-Dip 802-80-040-20-001101 meets all mandatory substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct functional replacement for the obsolete Molex component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Preci-Dip 802-80-040-20-001101 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0010892406. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory continuity. The Preci-Dip part is currently in active production with 983 units in stock, providing supply chain stability compared to the obsolete Molex component.

Key differences exist in contact geometry and finish specifications. The Preci-Dip part features circular contacts with tin mating finish, whereas the Molex original uses square contacts with gold mating finish. Both configurations support the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 40-position, 2.54mm pitch applications. The Preci-Dip component provides documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and electrical ratings (3A, 150VDC) that establish performance boundaries for the substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Preci-Dip 802-80-040-20-001101 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0010892406?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (40), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). All critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters align, enabling direct substitution in existing PCB designs.

Q: What are the differences in contact specifications between these parts?

A: The Molex original features square phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish. The Preci-Dip substitute uses circular brass contacts with tin mating finish. Both contact configurations are compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles and maintain equivalent electrical performance for the specified applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0010892406 and Preci-Dip 802-80-040-20-001101 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both components, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for the substitute part?

A: The Preci-Dip 802-80-040-20-001101 is supplied in bulk packaging, as opposed to the Molex original which does not specify packaging type. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department for order fulfillment.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical limitations with the Preci-Dip substitute?

A: The Preci-Dip part is rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, 3A current per contact, and 150VDC voltage rating. Verify these specifications align with your application requirements. The Molex original does not provide published thermal or electrical ratings in the available documentation.
