Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0015911360 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 95278-802-36LF are active products with equivalent mechanical and electrical interfaces. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and compliance requirements.

The Molex 0015911360 is supplied in tube packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 95278-802-36LF is supplied in bulk packaging and carries RoHS compliance certification. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A per contact), while the Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 95278-802-36LF directly replace the Molex 0015911360?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (2 rows), connector type (header, breakaway), contact type (male pin), mounting method (surface mount), termination (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The unshrouded design and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are equivalent.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Contact length at mating interface differs by 0.005" (0.13mm), with the Molex part at 0.320" (8.13mm) and the Amphenol ICC (FCI) part at 0.315" (8.00mm). Insulation height differs by 0.010" (0.25mm), with the Molex part at 0.090" (2.29mm) and the Amphenol ICC (FCI) part at 0.100" (2.54mm). These variations remain within typical connector tolerance ranges for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The Molex 0015911360 is supplied in tube packaging, while the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 95278-802-36LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.
