Molex 0015911128 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0015911128 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 12 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as a board-to-board or cable interface component with unshrouded, breakaway design and push-pull fastening. The part is active in production and widely used in automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications applications. Equivalent parts are identified when they maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications, allowing direct substitution in compatible designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0015911128 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical compatibility
Number of Positions: 12 — connector must accommodate identical pin count
Number of Rows: 2 — row configuration must be identical
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — spacing between rows must match
Contact Type: Male Pin — gender must remain consistent
Mounting Type: Surface Mount — PCB assembly method must be compatible
Termination: Solder — connection method must be identical
Fastening Type: Push-Pull — mechanical engagement mechanism must match
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — safety certification must be maintained or exceeded
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or equivalent — regulatory compliance must be maintained

All four substitute parts listed meet these core requirements. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and operating temperature ranges do not preclude substitution when the primary interface parameters remain constant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active production status and meet or exceed the regulatory and safety requirements of the Molex 0015911128. Selection among these equivalents should be based on:

Amphenol ICC 95278-101-12LF (Bulk Packaging): Recommended for high-volume applications requiring standard bulk packaging. Maintains identical contact finish thickness (30.0µin) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). RoHS compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Amphenol ICC 95278-101A12LF (Tape & Reel Packaging): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel format. Includes pick-and-place feature optimization. Identical electrical and thermal specifications to the bulk variant. RoHS compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Amphenol ICC 95278-801A12LF (Tape & Reel Packaging, Reduced Gold Thickness): Functionally equivalent with reduced mating contact finish thickness (15.0µin). Maintains identical operating temperature range and current rating (3A per contact). RoHS compliant with REACH affected status. Suitable for cost-optimized designs where reduced gold thickness does not compromise application requirements.

Sullins GBC06DABN-M30 (Bulk Packaging): Offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 150°C) and breakaway connector type matching the original design. Reduced mating contact finish thickness (10.0µin). ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. Suitable for high-temperature applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0015911128 with any of these parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), and row spacing (0.100"). The core mechanical interface is preserved. Minor variations in contact length (0.240" to 0.230") and insulation height (0.090" to 0.100") fall within standard connector tolerance ranges and do not require PCB layout modification.

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

A: The 95278-101-12LF is supplied in bulk packaging. The 95278-101A12LF is supplied in tape and reel format with pick-and-place optimization for automated assembly. The 95278-801A12LF is also tape and reel but with reduced mating contact gold thickness (15.0µin vs. 30.0µin). All three share identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range.

Q: Does the reduced gold thickness on the 95278-801A12LF affect reliability?

A: Contact finish thickness is a design parameter provided in the specifications. The 95278-801A12LF maintains gold plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm), which is within industry standards for connector applications. Selection should be based on application requirements and design specifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Sullins GBC06DABN-M30 operates from -65°C to 150°C, compared to -65°C to 125°C for the Amphenol ICC variants. This extended range is suitable for high-temperature environments.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0015911128 is ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC parts are RoHS compliant. The Sullins GBC06DABN-M30 is ROHS3 compliant. All meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Molex 0015911128 is supplied in tube packaging. Amphenol ICC 95278-101-12LF is supplied in bulk. Amphenol ICC 95278-101A12LF and 95278-801A12LF are supplied in tape and reel format. Sullins GBC06DABN-M30 is supplied in bulk. Select packaging based on assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same design?

A: Yes. All parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent for the specified interface. However, design documentation should clearly identify which part number is used to maintain traceability and ensure consistent procurement.
