Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined by strict matching of key electromechanical characteristics for rectangular connectors. The allowed parameters for this category include: number of positions, pin count, row configuration, pitch, contact type, contact shape, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, shrouding, and compliance standards. Substitute parts are listed only if they match these parameters exactly or within the permissible range as defined in the provided input. Only the supplied attributes are considered; no other criteria are presumed.

Parameter Comparison

There are no restrictions in the provided input that preclude the use of any substitute part on the basis of product compliance certifications or inventory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary criteria for substituting Molex 0010897643 with another rectangular connector?
A1: Substitution is determined by exact matching of key parameters: 64 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch and row spacing, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, unshrouded configuration, termination type, and RoHS/environmental compliance.

Q2: Are there mechanical or packaging differences to consider between these substitute parts?
A2: All listed substitutes are through-hole, unshrouded, and designed for board-to-board or cable connection. Packaging type (bulk or tray) is provided for each part and should match assembly requirements as needed.

Q3: Do all substitutes have the same plating and material certifications?
A3: All substitutes list gold as the contact finish on mating side, tin on the post, and maintain a UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.

Q4: How does row spacing or contact shape affect interchangeability?
A4: All compared parts have a 2.54mm (0.100") row spacing and square contact shape, which align with pin header compatibility requirements in this category.

Q5: Are there differences in regulatory status or RoHS compliance among the substitutes?
A5: All substitutes are RoHS compliant (ROHS3 or RoHS) as provided in the part descriptions.

Q6: Is moisture sensitivity a concern?
A6: The Molex 0010897643 and Hirose A1-64PA-2.54DSA(71) are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). The Samtec HTSW-132-24-L-D-LL is marked Not Applicable for MSL in the supplied input.
