Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0528062810 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

• Position Count: 28 positions (exact match required)
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Contact Configuration: Vertical - 1 Sided (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Kinked Pin (exact match required)
• Flat Flex Type: FPC or FFC (functionally equivalent)

The substitute part HLW28S-2C7LF (Amphenol ICC/FCI) meets all critical substitution criteria. While certain parameters differ (voltage rating, current rating, operating temperature range, housing material, and mating cycles), these variations represent enhanced or alternative specifications that do not prevent functional substitution in applications designed for the original part's electrical and mechanical requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC HLW28S-2C7LF (part number HLW28S-2C7LF) is a qualified substitute for the Molex 0528062810 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical position count (28), pitch (1.00mm), mounting type (through hole), contact configuration (vertical, single-sided), and termination style (kinked pin). PCB footprints are compatible.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute part exceeds the electrical specifications of the original part. The HLW28S-2C7LF provides 100V voltage rating and 1A current rating compared to the original 50V and 0.5A ratings, ensuring compatibility with applications designed for the original specifications.

Environmental Compliance: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and meet RoHS compliance requirements. The substitute part operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the original (-20°C to 80°C).

Reliability: The substitute part is rated for 30 mating cycles versus 10 for the original, indicating enhanced durability characteristics.

Product Status: Both parts are active in production with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC HLW28S-2C7LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0528062810?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and contact specifications (28 positions, 1.00mm pitch, through-hole mounting, vertical single-sided contacts, kinked pin termination). PCB footprints are compatible. The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical and environmental specifications of the original.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are housing material (PPS versus glass-filled PBT), voltage rating (50V versus 100V), current rating (0.5A versus 1A), operating temperature range (-20°C to 80°C versus -55°C to 85°C), and mating cycle rating (10 versus 30). These differences represent enhanced specifications in the substitute part.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB design?

A: No. Both connectors use identical pitch (1.00mm) and mounting type (through hole). Existing PCB designs for the Molex 0528062810 accommodate the Amphenol ICC HLW28S-2C7LF without modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance while the original is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For applications requiring the original specifications, either part is suitable. The Amphenol ICC HLW28S-2C7LF is appropriate when extended temperature range, higher voltage/current ratings, or increased mating cycle durability are beneficial.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The Molex 0528062810 has 738 units in stock. The Amphenol ICC HLW28S-2C7LF has 12,091 units in stock, providing greater availability for high-volume applications.
