Molex 0010894062 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010894062 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 6 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The part is currently active in production with 658 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original Molex 0010894062 becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for cost optimization, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified equivalent connectors that meet the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS compliance certification. Selection among these equivalents should be based on the following factors:

Amphenol ICC 79257-206HLF (BERGSTIK® II Series): This substitute offers the closest mechanical compatibility with specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C and rated current capacity of 3A. The BERGSTIK® II series provides enhanced contact reliability through GXT™ gold plating option. Inventory availability is 848 units.

TE Connectivity 826634-3 (AMPMODU Mod II Series): This substitute provides the highest inventory availability at 7037 units and supports the widest current rating of 5A. Operating temperature range is -65°C to 105°C. The AMPMODU Mod II series uses PBT insulation material with polyester glass fill, matching the flammability and environmental specifications of the original part.

3M 929667-04-03-I (929 Series): This substitute features dual-finish gold plating on both mating and post contacts, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C with 2.5A current rating. The 929 series maintains REACH Unaffected status consistent with the original Molex part.

All three substitutes maintain identical pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting orientation, and push-pull fastening mechanism, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the Molex 0010894062.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 79257-206HLF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0010894062?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6 in 2 rows), row spacing (0.100"), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The gold-plated mating contacts and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are equivalent. The primary difference is the contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy) and insulation material specification, which do not affect mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 826634-3 and the original Molex part?

A: The TE Connectivity 826634-3 maintains all critical interface parameters but differs in contact material (Brass vs. Copper Alloy), insulation material (PBT vs. Polyester Glass Filled), and insulation color (Green vs. Black). The operating temperature range is -65°C to 105°C compared to the unspecified range of the Molex part. Current rating is 5A versus unspecified for the original. These differences do not affect mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Does the 3M 929667-04-03-I offer any advantages over the other substitutes?

A: The 3M 929667-04-03-I features gold plating on both mating and post contacts, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-plated posts on the original Molex part. This dual-finish approach may provide extended service life in corrosive environments. However, the operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) is more limited than the Amphenol ICC option (-65°C to 130°C).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010894062 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the Amphenol ICC 79257-206HLF is supplied in Bag packaging, and both the TE Connectivity 826634-3 and 3M 929667-04-03-I are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality but may impact handling, storage, and procurement workflows.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The TE Connectivity 826634-3 provides the highest current inventory at 7037 units, followed by the 3M 929667-04-03-I at 5219 units and the Amphenol ICC 79257-206HLF at 848 units. The original Molex 0010894062 has 658 units in stock.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are RoHS compliant. The original Molex 0010894062 is ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet environmental compliance requirements for lead-free manufacturing and hazardous substance restrictions.
