Molex 0015916067 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0015916067 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, configured in a 2-row layout. This connector is classified as a board-to-board or cable interface component with male pin contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, packaging format requirements differ for manufacturing processes, or when alternative contact materials and finishes better suit specific application environments.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts meet the core substitution criteria for the Molex 0015916067. Selection among substitutes depends on specific manufacturing and application requirements:

Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® Series (95278-101A06LF, 95278-401A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, 95278-101-06LF): These parts maintain active product status with RoHS compliance. The 95278-101A06LF and 95278-101B06LF variants are available in Cut Tape and Tube packaging respectively, offering flexibility for different assembly processes. The 95278-401A06LF provides Tape & Reel packaging identical to the primary part. Contact finish differs between gold (GXT™) and tin variants; gold-finished versions provide enhanced corrosion resistance, while tin-finished 95278-401A06LF offers cost optimization. All variants support 3A per contact current rating and operate across -65°C to 125°C.

Samtec TSM Series (TSM-103-01-T-DV, TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR): These cuttable header connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance with active status. The TSM-103-01-T-DV-TR variant matches the primary part's Tape & Reel packaging format. Both TSM variants feature tin contact finish and LCP insulation material. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, narrower than some alternatives. The cuttable design provides additional flexibility for custom position configurations.

Sullins GBC03DABN-M30: This part offers the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) among substitutes, suitable for extended thermal environments. ROHS3 compliance and active status are maintained. Bulk packaging requires alternative handling for automated assembly. Contact finish is gold with reduced thickness (10.0µin), and insulation material is polyamide-based rather than LCP.

Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101: This spring piston connector variant differs in contact type from the primary part and other substitutes. Product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. This part is not recommended for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance.

Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03: This BERGSTIK® variant is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. This part is not suitable for new applications or designs requiring regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0015916067 with any of the listed parts?

A: All active-status parts listed (Amphenol ICC 95278 series, Samtec TSM series, and Sullins GBC03DABN-M30) meet the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 has a different contact type (spring piston vs. male pin) and discontinued status, making it unsuitable for new designs. The Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 is obsolete and non-compliant.

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

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format: 95278-101A06LF is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format, while 95278-401A06LF is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Additionally, 95278-101A06LF features gold contact finish (GXT™), while 95278-401A06LF features tin contact finish. Select based on your assembly equipment compatibility and corrosion resistance requirements.

Q: Does contact finish affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish (gold vs. tin) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in mating operations. Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance and are preferred in high-reliability applications. Tin finishes are cost-effective for general-purpose applications. Both finishes are solder-compatible for termination.

Q: What is the significance of the Samtec TSM series being "cuttable"?

A: The cuttable design allows the connector strip to be separated into individual or custom-grouped positions after assembly, providing flexibility for applications requiring non-standard position counts. This feature does not affect compatibility with standard 6-position applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes?

A: The Molex 0015916067, Amphenol ICC 95278 series, Samtec TSM series, and Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. The Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 is ROHS3 compliant but discontinued. For new designs, select from active, compliant parts only.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance?

A: The Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 operates across -65°C to 150°C, the widest range among substitutes. The Amphenol ICC 95278 series operates to 125°C. The Samtec TSM series operates to 105°C. Select based on your application's thermal requirements.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in production?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Tube, Bulk, Cut Tape) affects handling and assembly automation compatibility but not component functionality. Verify your pick-and-place equipment specifications before mixing packaging formats within a single production run.
