Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are classified as Active status and meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the Molex 0010897360. Selection among these alternatives is based on specific application requirements and availability:

Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF: This BERGSTIK® series connector provides RoHS compliance and operates across -65°C to 130°C. The contact length specifications differ slightly from the main part, with a mating contact length of 0.230" (5.84mm) compared to the Molex 0.240" (6.10mm). This variant is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature range performance.

Amphenol ICC 77313-818-36LF: This BERGSTIK® variant offers ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 130°C) as the 77313-101-36LF. The contact post length is 0.120" (3.05mm), providing a different overall contact length of 0.450" (11.43mm). This configuration may be preferred for specific PCB thickness or stacking height requirements.

Sullins PBC18DAAN: This connector operates at -65°C to 125°C and features PBT insulation material. The contact post length matches the 77313-818-36LF at 0.120" (3.05mm). ROHS3 compliance and Not Applicable MSL classification indicate suitability for standard industrial applications.

Sullins PBC18DABN: This variant provides the longest contact post length at 0.230" (5.84mm), resulting in an overall contact length of 0.560" (14.22mm). This extended post length accommodates thicker PCB assemblies or applications requiring deeper board penetration. ROHS3 compliance and Not Applicable MSL classification apply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts interchangeably with the Molex 0010897360?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts meet the core functional specifications: 36-position, 2-row header configuration with 2.54mm pitch, male pin contacts, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences lie in contact length dimensions and insulation material composition, which do not prevent functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact post lengths?

A: Contact post length determines how deeply the connector penetrates the PCB. The Molex 0010897360 has a post length of 0.107" (2.71mm). Substitute parts range from 0.095" (2.41mm) to 0.230" (5.84mm). Selection depends on PCB thickness and the depth of solder pad penetration required for your specific assembly process.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0010897360 is ROHS3 compliant. Three of the four substitutes (77313-818-36LF, PBC18DAAN, PBC18DABN) are explicitly ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF is RoHS compliant. All parts meet environmental compliance requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What is the difference between the two Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants?

A: Both 77313-101-36LF and 77313-818-36LF are BERGSTIK® series connectors with identical pitch, position count, and operating temperature range (-65°C to 130°C). The primary difference is contact post length: 77313-101-36LF has 0.095" (2.41mm) while 77313-818-36LF has 0.120" (3.05mm). This affects overall contact length and suitability for different PCB thicknesses.

Q: What is the difference between the two Sullins PBC18 variants?

A: Both PBC18DAAN and PBC18DABN are Sullins connectors with identical pitch, position count, and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The key difference is contact post length: PBC18DAAN has 0.120" (3.05mm) while PBC18DABN has 0.230" (5.84mm). The extended post length of PBC18DABN accommodates thicker PCB assemblies.

Q: How do insulation material differences affect part selection?

A: The Molex 0010897360 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation. Amphenol ICC substitutes use Thermoplastic insulation, while Sullins substitutes use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection may be driven by thermal performance, mechanical strength, or specific application environmental conditions.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these substitute parts?

A: Inventory levels vary among suppliers. The Molex 0010897360 has 837 units in stock. Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF has 1309 units, 77313-818-36LF has 1046 units. Sullins PBC18DAAN has 1333 units, and PBC18DABN has 2290 units. Availability may influence selection when immediate delivery is required.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The Molex 0010897360 does not specify an operating temperature range. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® variants operate from -65°C to 130°C. Sullins PBC18 variants operate from -65°C to 125°C. Selection should account for your application's thermal environment and any temperature-dependent performance requirements.
