Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0015911321 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway configuration
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) exact match
• Number of Positions: 32 positions
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The identified substitute parts meet all these critical parameters. Variations in contact finish, insulation material, contact length tolerances, and operating temperature ranges are within acceptable engineering substitution criteria for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors meet the core functional and compliance requirements for 32-position, 2.54mm pitch surface mount header applications. Selection between the Molex 0015911321 and its substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Molex 0015911321: ROHS3 compliant with LCP glass-filled insulation material. Suitable for applications requiring the specified insulation composition and tin contact finish. Current inventory of 737 units supports immediate availability.

Amphenol ICC 95278-101-32LF: RoHS compliant with thermoplastic insulation and gold GXT™ contact finish. Offers extended operating temperature range to 125°C and specified current rating of 3A per contact. Higher inventory availability at 1325 units. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification for specific applications.

Sullins GBC16DABN-M30: ROHS3 compliant with polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T insulation and gold contact finish. Provides the highest operating temperature range at -65°C to 150°C with 3A per contact current rating. Inventory of 1295 units. REACH Unaffected status aligns with the main part.

All three parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility across standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 95278-101-32LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0015911321?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (32), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount), and termination method (solder). The contact length variation (0.232" vs 0.240") and insulation height difference (0.100" vs 0.090") fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for board-to-board mating. The gold contact finish of the Amphenol part provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin finish of the Molex part.

Q: What are the key differences between the Sullins GBC16DABN-M30 and the Molex 0015911321?

A: The Sullins connector offers a higher maximum operating temperature (150°C vs unspecified for Molex) and uses polyamide nylon 9T insulation instead of LCP glass-filled material. Contact length is 0.230" compared to 0.240" for the Molex part. Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. The Sullins part is REACH Unaffected, matching the Molex compliance status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these three connectors?

A: Yes. The Molex 0015911321 is supplied in Tube packaging, while both the Amphenol ICC 95278-101-32LF and Sullins GBC16DABN-M30 are supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The Sullins GBC16DABN-M30 is rated for -65°C to 150°C operating temperature, providing the widest thermal range. The Amphenol ICC 95278-101-32LF is rated to 125°C. The Molex 0015911321 does not specify an operating temperature range.

Q: Do all three connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The Molex 0015911321 and Sullins GBC16DABN-M30 are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC 95278-101-32LF is RoHS compliant. All three meet RoHS standards for lead-free solder and restricted substance elimination.

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

A: The Molex 0015911321 uses tin contact finish, while both substitute parts use gold finish. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended service life, particularly in environments with moisture or corrosive atmospheres. Tin finish is suitable for standard indoor applications with controlled environmental conditions.
