Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0010894063 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mating compatibility
• Number of Positions: 6 — required for circuit board layout and connector footprint alignment
• Number of Rows: 2 — determines physical spacing and board layout requirements
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — critical for mechanical fit
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway — functional classification
• Contact Type: Male Pin — determines mating interface
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — board assembly method
• Termination: Solder — connection method to PCB
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold — ensures reliable electrical contact
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — safety compliance requirement

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• RoHS3 Compliance — regulatory requirement for most applications
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 — storage and handling compatibility
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy — electrical performance baseline

The substitute parts listed below meet all primary compatibility criteria and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5-146308-3 (Primary Substitute)

This part is the direct equivalent for the Molex 0010894063. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (2), and mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle). The 5-146308-3 maintains ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A) are specified for this substitute. The AMPMODU Mod II series provides established compatibility in automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications. Packaging is supplied in trays with 3886 units in stock.

TE Connectivity 9-102975-0 (Position-Specific Consideration)

This connector shares the same mating pitch, row spacing, and mounting characteristics as the primary part but differs in position count (80 positions versus 6). This part is suitable only for applications requiring higher-density interconnection on the same 0.100" pitch grid. The 9-102975-0 is not a direct substitute for 6-position applications but may be used in designs where individual positions can be broken away or where the full 80-position header is required. Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A) are specified. RoHS compliance is confirmed. Packaging is supplied in bulk with 1067 units in stock.

Selection Basis

Part selection is determined by product status (all three parts are active), regulatory compliance (ROHS3/RoHS and UL94 V-0 certification), and position requirements. The 5-146308-3 is the recommended direct substitute. The 9-102975-0 is applicable only for applications requiring 80-position connectivity or where individual positions from a larger header can be utilized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 5-146308-3 be used as a direct replacement for Molex 0010894063?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (2), and through-hole right-angle mounting. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between the Molex 0010894063 and TE Connectivity 5-146308-3?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (Polyester, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic, Glass Filled), contact length specifications, and packaging format (tube versus tray). Both maintain equivalent electrical performance and regulatory compliance.

Q: Is TE Connectivity 9-102975-0 a suitable substitute?

A: The 9-102975-0 is not a direct substitute due to its 80-position configuration versus the 6-position requirement. It is applicable only for applications requiring higher-density interconnection or where individual positions can be separated from the larger header assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010894063 is ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 5-146308-3 is ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 9-102975-0 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The Molex 0010894063 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The TE Connectivity 5-146308-3 and 9-102975-0 both operate from -65°C to 105°C.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The Molex 0010894063 is supplied in tubes (1003 units in stock). The TE Connectivity 5-146308-3 is supplied in trays (3886 units in stock). The TE Connectivity 9-102975-0 is supplied in bulk (1067 units in stock). Packaging selection depends on assembly requirements and inventory management.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations the same across all parts?
