Molex 0010894082 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010894082 is an 8-position, 2-row right-angle header connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch designed for through-hole mounting and solder termination. This connector is classified as active product status and serves applications in automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications sectors. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0010894082 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector geometry: 8-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting interface: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
Contact system: Male pin contacts with square geometry
Electrical properties: Push-pull fastening type, unshrouded design
Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS and REACH compliance status

The 3M 929667-02-04-I meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact geometry. Both maintain UL94 V-0 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Differences in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and post contact length do not preclude functional substitution within the specified parameter constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0010894082 and 3M 929667-02-04-I connectors maintain active product status and satisfy identical regulatory compliance requirements. Both are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, with matching UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and EAR99 export classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory availability: Molex 0010894082 has 718 units in stock; 3M 929667-02-04-I has 1421 units in stock
Packaging format: Molex supplied in tube packaging; 3M supplied in bulk packaging
Operational temperature range: 3M part specifies -40°C to 105°C operating range; Molex operating temperature not specified in provided data
Current rating: 3M part specifies 2.5A current rating; Molex current rating not specified in provided data

Both parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 8-position, 2.54mm pitch right-angle header connectors with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 929667-02-04-I directly replace the Molex 0010894082 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows, 8 positions), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact geometry (square male pins). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-level applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are contact finish thickness specifications, insulation material composition (Molex uses polyester glass-filled; 3M uses PBT and polyester glass-filled), and post contact length (Molex 0.110", 3M 0.405"). The 3M part provides specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current rating (2.5A), which are not specified for the Molex part in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive and medical applications?

A: The Molex 0010894082 is explicitly listed for automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications applications. The 3M 929667-02-04-I does not specify applications in the provided data. Both maintain UL94 V-0 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting use in regulated environments.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The Molex 0010894082 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 3M 929667-02-04-I is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010894082 is ROHS3 compliant, and the 3M 929667-02-04-I is RoHS compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements and are REACH unaffected.
