Molex 0010899607 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The Molex 0010899607 is a vertical rectangular connector header with 60 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This part operates in the C-Grid 8624 series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability for new designs, equivalent substitute parts from active product lines are necessary to ensure long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Molex Equivalent (Recommended for Continuity)
The Molex 0010897602 is the primary substitute from the same manufacturer. It maintains identical core mechanical parameters and is classified as active product status. This part offers the highest design continuity and is suitable for applications requiring Molex ecosystem compatibility.
Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® Series (Active Alternatives)
The BERGSTIK® series (54102-T06-30, 54102-T10-30) provides functional equivalence with active product status. These parts are RoHS non-compliant and lack specified operating temperature ratings. Selection from this series is appropriate for legacy designs or applications without RoHS requirements.
Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® II Series (Recommended for New Designs)
The BERGSTIK® II series (67996-160, 67996-160HLF, 67996-260HLF, 67996-460HLF, 67997-260HLF, 67997-460HLF, 68602-160HLF) represents the most current technology platform. All variants are RoHS compliant and include specified operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 125°C or -65°C to 130°C) and current ratings (3A per contact or 3A). These parts are suitable for new designs and applications requiring compliance certifications.
Compliance Considerations
- Parts 0010899607 and 0010897602 are ROHS3 compliant
- Parts 54102-T06-30 and 54102-T10-30 are RoHS non-compliant
- All BERGSTIK® II variants are RoHS compliant
- REACH status varies: 67996-260HLF and 67997-260HLF are REACH Affected; all others are REACH Unaffected
Contact Finish and Length Variations
Substitute parts exhibit variations in contact finish (gold vs. tin) and contact length post dimensions. These variations do not affect mechanical compatibility but may influence electrical performance in specific applications. Gold-finished contacts (67996-160, 67996-160HLF, 67996-260HLF, 67997-260HLF, 68602-160HLF) provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-finished alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I directly replace Molex 0010899607 with any of the listed substitutes?
A: Yes, all listed parts meet the core mechanical and electrical substitution criteria: 60 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. However, verify contact length post dimensions and insulation height compatibility with your PCB design, as minor variations exist across substitute options.
Q: What is the difference between the Molex C-Grid 8624 and the Amphenol BERGSTIK® series?
A: The C-Grid 8624 is an obsolete Molex series. The BERGSTIK® and BERGSTIK® II series from Amphenol ICC (FCI) are active product lines offering equivalent functionality. BERGSTIK® II represents the current generation with enhanced compliance certifications and specified operating temperature ranges.
Q: Which substitute should I select for a new design?
A: For new designs, select from the BERGSTIK® II series (67996-160HLF, 67996-260HLF, 67996-460HLF, 67997-260HLF, 67997-460HLF, or 68602-160HLF). These parts are RoHS compliant, include specified operating temperature ratings, and are actively manufactured. If Molex ecosystem compatibility is required, use 0010897602.
Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitutes?
A: Yes. The original part (0010899607) and Molex 0010897602 are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol BERGSTIK® parts (54102-T06-30, 54102-T10-30) are RoHS non-compliant. All BERGSTIK® II variants are RoHS compliant. Select accordingly based on your application's regulatory requirements.
Q: What is the significance of contact finish variations (gold vs. tin)?
A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Gold-finished contacts provide superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Tin-finished contacts are suitable for standard applications. The original part uses gold finish; select gold-finished substitutes (67996-160HLF, 67996-260HLF, 67997-260HLF, 68602-160HLF) for equivalent performance.
Q: Do contact length post variations affect PCB compatibility?
A: Contact length post dimensions vary across substitutes (0.095" to 0.150"). Verify your PCB design accommodates the selected substitute's post length. Shorter posts (67996 series at 0.095") may require PCB design adjustment compared to the original part (0.107").
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Molex 0010897602 is supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol BERGSTIK® parts are supplied in bulk. BERGSTIK® II variants are supplied in bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.
Q: Is the Molex 0010897602 a direct drop-in replacement?
A: Yes, Molex 0010897602 is a direct equivalent with identical core parameters and active product status. It is the recommended substitute for applications requiring Molex continuity.
