Molex 0015911063 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0015911063 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 6 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is part of the C-Grid 71308 series and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1068 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original Molex 0015911063 becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design requirements call for different compliance certifications or operating temperature ranges.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, ROHS3 Compliant):

The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series parts 95278-101A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, and 95278-401A06LF are direct functional equivalents with active product status and RoHS compliance. These parts maintain the critical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 6-position, 2-row configuration with push-pull fastening. The primary difference is packaging format: 95278-101A06LF is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format suitable for automated assembly, 95278-101B06LF in Tube format matching the original packaging, and 95278-401A06LF in Tape & Reel format for high-volume production. All three operate at -65°C to 125°C with 3A per contact current rating.

The Samtec TSM-103-01-T-DV and TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR are cuttable header variants with ROHS3 compliance and active status. These offer the same pitch and position configuration with the advantage of field-cuttable design. The TSM-103-01-T-DV is packaged in Tube format, while TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C.

The Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 is an active, ROHS3-compliant alternative with extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. It is supplied in Bulk packaging.

The Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 is a spring piston connector variant with ROHS3 compliance and active status. While functionally different in contact design, it maintains the same pitch, position count, and row spacing. This part is suitable for applications requiring spring-loaded contact engagement.

Secondary Substitutes (Obsolete or Non-Compliant Status):

The TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II 146130-2 and Amphenol BERGSTIK® 54202-G08-03 are obsolete products with RoHS non-compliant status. These are listed for reference in legacy system documentation only and should not be selected for new designs. The 146130-2 operates at -65°C to 125°C with 3A rating, while the 54202-G08-03 operates at -65°C to 130°C with 3A rating.

Selection Criteria by Application:

For automated pick-and-place assembly processes, select 95278-101A06LF (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) or 95278-401A06LF (Tape & Reel).

For manual assembly or low-volume production, select 95278-101B06LF or TSM-103-01-T-DV (both Tube packaging).

For high-temperature applications exceeding 125°C, select GBC03DABN-M30 (operating to 150°C).

For applications requiring field customization of connector length, select TSM-103-01-T-DV or TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR (cuttable design).

For spring-loaded contact applications, select 814-22-006-30-007101.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different contact finish (Gold vs. Tin)?

A: Yes. Both gold and tin contact finishes are acceptable for the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 6-position header configuration. Contact finish does not affect mechanical compatibility or mating interface. Selection should be based on application requirements for corrosion resistance and solderability.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol 95278-101A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, and 95278-401A06LF?

A: These three parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The differences are packaging format only: 95278-101A06LF is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format for automated assembly, 95278-101B06LF in Tube format for manual assembly, and 95278-401A06LF in Tape & Reel format for high-volume production. Select based on your manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are the Samtec TSM-103 parts truly equivalent to the Molex 0015911063?

A: The Samtec TSM-103-01-T-DV and TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR maintain the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 6 positions, 2 rows, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary design difference is the cuttable header feature, which allows field customization of connector length. This does not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors.

Q: Can I substitute the Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 piston connector for the header connector?

A: The Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 is a spring piston connector, not a header connector. While it maintains the same pitch, position count, and row spacing, the contact design is fundamentally different. This part is suitable only for applications specifically designed for piston-style contacts and is not a direct mechanical replacement for header connectors.

Q: Why are some substitute parts listed as obsolete or RoHS non-compliant?

A: Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant parts are included in this reference for documentation of legacy systems and historical design records. These parts should not be selected for new designs. Active, ROHS3-compliant alternatives are available and should be used for all new applications.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant status?

A: ROHS3 refers to compliance with the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which includes additional restricted substances beyond the original RoHS standard. ROHS3 Compliant parts meet the most current regulatory requirements and should be preferred for new designs.

Q: Can I use the Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 in place of the Molex 0015911063 in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. The Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 is rated for -65°C to 150°C operation, compared to the Molex part which does not specify an operating temperature range. If your application requires sustained operation above 125°C, the Sullins part is the appropriate selection among the listed substitutes.

Q: What packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Packaging selection depends on your manufacturing process. Tube packaging (95278-101B06LF, TSM-103-01-T-DV) is suitable for manual assembly or low-volume production. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (95278-101A06LF) and Tape & Reel (95278-401A06LF, TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR) formats are designed for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging (GBC03DABN-M30) is suitable for high-volume manual assembly operations.
