Molex 0010897500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010897500 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This vertical 50-position connector operates at 2.54mm (0.100") pitch and supports board-to-board or cable interconnection in automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications applications. Substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, inventory availability, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS requirements. The Amphenol ICC 77313-101-50LF and 77313-118-50LF are manufacturer-recommended alternatives from the BERGSTIK® series, both offering RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The Sullins PBC25DAAN and PEC25DAAN provide ROHS3 compliance with Not Applicable MSL classification.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application constraints. The Amphenol ICC options support operating temperatures to 130°C, while Sullins options operate to 125°C. Contact finish specifications vary: Amphenol ICC parts offer gold or gold GXT™ mating finish, Sullins PBC25DAAN provides gold mating finish, and Sullins PEC25DAAN features tin mating finish. Contact length variations (ranging from 0.425" to 0.450" overall length) may affect board-level clearance in space-constrained designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0010897500 with any of these four parts?

A: Yes. All four parts meet the core functional and mechanical requirements: 50-position, 2-row header configuration with 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Differences in contact length, insulation material, and contact finish do not prevent substitution when these primary parameters align.

Q: What is the difference between the two Amphenol ICC parts (77313-101-50LF and 77313-118-50LF)?

A: Both are BERGSTIK® series headers with identical mating and row spacing. The primary difference is contact post length: 77313-101-50LF has 0.095" (2.41mm) post length, while 77313-118-50LF has 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. This affects overall contact length (0.425" versus 0.450") and may impact PCB stack-up compatibility.

Q: How do the Sullins parts differ from each other?

A: PBC25DAAN and PEC25DAAN are mechanically identical but differ in mating contact finish. PBC25DAAN features gold mating finish (10.0µin thickness), while PEC25DAAN features tin mating finish (100.0µin thickness). Both use phosphor bronze contact material and PBT insulation.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences I should consider?

A: Amphenol ICC parts operate from -65°C to 130°C, while Sullins parts operate from -65°C to 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, Amphenol ICC substitutes are appropriate.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish specifications?

A: Contact finish affects mating durability and corrosion resistance. Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin finishes offer cost efficiency but may require different mating strategies. The Molex original specifies 30.0µin gold thickness; Amphenol ICC matches this specification, while Sullins options vary (10.0µin to 100.0µin).

Q: Do all parts have the same insulation material?

A: No. The Molex original uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation. Amphenol ICC substitutes use Thermoplastic insulation, while Sullins parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). All meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: Sullins PBC25DAAN has the highest reported inventory at 1,881 pieces, followed by Sullins PEC25DAAN at 1,730 pieces and Amphenol ICC 77313-118-50LF at 1,292 pieces. Amphenol ICC 77313-101-50LF has 1,248 pieces available.
