Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0526100734 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 7 positions (fixed requirement)
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm) (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (fixed requirement)
• Connector Type: Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided (fixed requirement)
• Locking Feature: Slide Lock (fixed requirement)
• Features: Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) (fixed requirement)
• FFC Thickness: 0.30mm (fixed requirement)
• Height Above Board: 0.226" (5.74mm) (fixed requirement)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (fixed requirement)
• Contact Finish: Tin Bismuth (fixed requirement)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (fixed requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (fixed requirement)

The substitute part Molex 0526100775 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in housing material specification (Polyamide PA46 vs. PA with glass fill) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging) do not affect functional compatibility. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0526100775 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0526100734. Both components are manufactured by Molex within the Easy-On 52610 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection of the 0526100775 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring supply chain continuity and long-term availability
• ROHS3 compliance matching the original part specification
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintained across both components
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns
• Identical contact material, finish, and mechanical configuration

The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel packaging, which is standard for high-volume production environments. This packaging format does not affect functional performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0526100775 be used as a direct replacement for the 0526100734 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0526100775 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, mounting type, locking mechanism, and contact configuration. Direct substitution is functionally compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The main difference is product status. The 0526100734 is obsolete, while the 0526100775 is active. The 0526100775 is also supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format, which is standard for production environments.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Moisture sensitivity levels are also identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the 0526100775 affect assembly compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format that does not affect the component's electrical or mechanical performance on the PCB. Assembly equipment compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Are the housing materials functionally equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use polyamide-based nylon housing materials with glass reinforcement and maintain identical flammability ratings. The material specifications support equivalent mechanical performance.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification for the 0526100775?

A: The contact finish thickness specification is not provided in the available technical data for the 0526100775. The 0526100734 specifies 39.4µin (1.00µm) contact finish thickness.

Q: Can the 0526100775 be used in applications requiring the exact same mating cycle rating?

A: Mating cycle specifications are not provided in the available technical data for either part. Consult Molex technical documentation for mating cycle performance requirements.
