Full 80-Position, 2-Row Equivalents:

3M 2380-6121TG: Matches all primary electrical and mechanical specifications with identical position and row configuration
Sullins PREC040DAAN-RC: Matches all primary specifications with identical 80-position, 2-row layout
Sullins PRPC040DABN-RC: Matches all primary specifications with identical 80-position, 2-row layout

Partial Configuration Alternatives:

Sullins PREC040SABN-RC: 40-position, 1-row configuration (half the position count)
Sullins PREC040SACN-RC: 40-position, 1-row configuration (half the position count)

The 40-position variants represent reduced-position alternatives suitable for applications requiring fewer connection points while maintaining the same 2.54mm pitch and core connector characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct 80-Position, 2-Row Replacement:

The Sullins PREC040DAAN-RC and PRPC040DABN-RC connectors provide the most direct functional equivalence to the Molex 0010897802. Both maintain identical position count, row configuration, and pitch specifications. The Sullins PRPC040DABN-RC offers gold plating on both mating and post contacts, while PREC040DAAN-RC features tin plating. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The 3M 2380-6121TG maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications but carries RoHS non-compliance status and REACH-affected designation, requiring evaluation against project compliance requirements.

For Reduced-Position Applications:

The Sullins PREC040SABN-RC and PREC040SACN-RC provide 40-position, single-row alternatives. These parts maintain the 2.54mm pitch and core connector characteristics while reducing the overall position count by half. Selection between these variants depends on required post length: PREC040SABN-RC provides 0.230" (5.84mm) post length, while PREC040SACN-RC provides 0.320" (8.13mm) post length.

All Sullins alternatives are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, supporting modern design and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 2380-6121TG be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0010897802?

A: The 3M 2380-6121TG matches all electrical and mechanical specifications including 80 positions, 2 rows, and 2.54mm pitch. However, it is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, whereas the Molex part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on project compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the Sullins PREC040DAAN-RC and PRPC040DABN-RC?

A: Both connectors maintain identical 80-position, 2-row configuration and 2.54mm pitch. The primary difference is contact finish: PREC040DAAN-RC features tin plating on both mating and post contacts, while PRPC040DABN-RC features gold plating on both mating and post contacts. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Can the 40-position Sullins connectors replace the 80-position Molex part?

A: The Sullins PREC040SABN-RC and PREC040SACN-RC are 40-position, single-row alternatives. These parts are suitable only for applications requiring fewer connection points. They maintain the 2.54mm pitch and core connector characteristics but provide half the position count and single-row configuration instead of dual-row.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Critical parameters include pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of positions (80 for full equivalents), number of rows (2 for full equivalents), connector type (Header, Breakaway), contact type (Male Pin), mounting type (Through Hole), termination (Solder), and fastening type (Push-Pull). Variations in these parameters indicate partial or alternative configurations rather than direct equivalents.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All listed substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, matching the Molex 0010897802 packaging format. Inventory availability varies: 3M 2380-6121TG (3,118 units), Sullins PREC040DAAN-RC (10,165 units), Sullins PRPC040DABN-RC (3,902 units), Sullins PREC040SABN-RC (3,007 units), and Sullins PREC040SACN-RC (1,956 units).

Q: What compliance certifications should I verify before selecting a substitute part?

A: Verify RoHS status (ROHS3 compliance preferred for current designs), REACH status (REACH unaffected preferred), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0 maintained across all listed parts). The Molex 0010897802 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected; the 3M 2380-6121TG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, while all Sullins alternatives are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
