Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol BERGSTIK® parts electrically identical to the Molex 0015910048?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (4), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (Male Pin), and fastening mechanism (Push-Pull). Electrical performance is equivalent for board-to-board connection applications.

Q: What is the difference between the four Amphenol substitute options?

A: The four parts differ only in packaging format and inventory availability. 95278-101-04LF is supplied in Bulk format. 95278-101A04LF uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging. 95278-401A04LF and 95278-801A04LF are supplied on Tape & Reel. All are functionally identical.

Q: Can I use 95278-401A04LF or 95278-801A04LF interchangeably with 95278-101A04LF?

A: Yes. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability.

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

A: The Molex 0015910048 features gold plating at 15.0µin thickness. Substitute parts offer either gold plating (95278-101-04LF, 95278-101A04LF, 95278-801A04LF at 30.0µin or 15.0µin) or tin plating (95278-401A04LF at 78.7µin). Contact finish does not affect functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Are there REACH compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. 95278-101-04LF and 95278-401A04LF are REACH Unaffected. 95278-101A04LF and 95278-801A04LF are REACH Affected. Verify compliance requirements for your specific supply chain and regulatory jurisdiction before selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute parts?

A: All Amphenol BERGSTIK® substitute parts operate across -65°C to 125°C. The Molex 0015910048 operating temperature is not specified in the datasheet.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same current rating?

A: The Amphenol substitute parts are rated at 3A per contact. The Molex 0015910048 current rating is not specified. Verify application current requirements against the 3A per contact specification.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between the main part and substitutes?

A: The Molex 0015910048 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filling. All Amphenol BERGSTIK® substitutes use Thermoplastic insulation material. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for standard board-to-board applications.
