Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full RoHS3 Compliance):

Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 and 814-22-008-30-006101 are the preferred substitutes when connector type flexibility is acceptable. Both parts are active in production, ROHS3 compliant, and feature piston contact technology with gold finish. These parts offer equivalent electrical performance with 1319 and 808 units in stock respectively.

Amphenol ICC 95278-101-08LF, 95278-101A08LF, and 95278-401A08LF are active header connectors with RoHS compliance. The 95278-101A08LF and 95278-401A08LF variants include pick-and-place features and are available in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The 95278-401A08LF features tin contact finish instead of gold.

Sullins GBC04DABN-M30 is an active, ROHS3 compliant header connector with extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) and polyamide insulation material, offering enhanced thermal performance.

Secondary Substitute (Obsolete Status):

Amphenol ICC 54202-S08-04 is listed as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. This part should be selected only when legacy system compatibility is required and RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Selection Criteria:

For automated assembly: Select 95278-101A08LF or 95278-401A08LF (Tape & Reel packaging)
For manual assembly: Select 814-22-008-30-005101, 814-22-008-30-006101, or GBC04DABN-M30 (Tube or Bulk packaging)
For extended temperature applications: Select GBC04DABN-M30 (-65°C to 150°C range)
For RoHS3 compliance requirement: Avoid 54202-S08-04

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Mill-Max piston connectors replace the Molex header connector?

A: Yes. Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 and 814-22-008-30-006101 maintain all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters including pitch, position count, row spacing, surface mount configuration, and solder termination. The piston contact design is functionally equivalent to the male pin header design for board-to-board mating applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC 95278 variants?

A: The 95278-101-08LF is packaged in Bulk format. The 95278-101A08LF and 95278-401A08LF are packaged in Tape & Reel with pick-and-place features. The 95278-401A08LF uses tin contact finish instead of gold. All three maintain identical pitch, position count, and row spacing specifications.

Q: Is the obsolete Amphenol ICC 54202-S08-04 suitable for new designs?

A: The 54202-S08-04 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. It should not be selected for new designs unless legacy system compatibility is the primary requirement and RoHS compliance is not mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements.

Q: How do contact material differences affect substitution?

A: The main part uses Copper Alloy contacts while most substitutes use Phosphor Bronze. Both materials meet the mandatory UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain electrical compatibility. Contact finish (gold or tin) is the primary performance differentiator for mating reliability.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Sullins GBC04DABN-M30 operates from -65°C to 150°C, compared to the main part specification and most substitutes which operate to -65°C to 125°C or -65°C to 130°C. This extended range is suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: No. The main part is supplied in Tube packaging. Substitutes are available in Tube (Mill-Max parts), Bulk (Amphenol ICC 95278-101-08LF, Amphenol ICC 54202-S08-04, Sullins GBC04DABN-M30), or Tape & Reel (Amphenol ICC 95278-101A08LF, 95278-401A08LF). Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-005101 has 1319 units in stock. Mill-Max 814-22-008-30-006101 has 808 units. Amphenol ICC 95278-101-08LF has 1259 units. Amphenol ICC 95278-101A08LF has 2430 units. Amphenol ICC 95278-401A08LF has 2327 units. Sullins GBC04DABN-M30 has 1541 units. Amphenol ICC 54202-S08-04 has 4010 units but is obsolete.
