Molex 0702463021 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0702463021 is a rectangular connector header for through-hole mounting with 30 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The part features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening, gold-plated mating contacts, and tin-lead post finish. Substitutes must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across the 30-position, 2-row configuration with matching pitch and shrouding specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0702463021 is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

30-position, 2-row configuration
0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Male pin contact type
Shrouded 4-wall construction
Through-hole solder termination
Push-pull fastening mechanism
Gold-plated mating contacts
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Black insulation color

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in contact length, post finish composition, insulation material formulation, and compliance status are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution when the primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - Molex 0702463001

The Molex 0702463001 is the direct successor within the Molex C-Grid 70246 series. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 0702463021 with the exception of post finish composition (tin versus tin-lead) and insulation material enhancement (glass-filled PBT). The part is active in production status and ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. This part is the preferred substitute when Molex ecosystem compatibility is required.

Secondary Substitutes - 3M N2530 Series

The 3M N2530-6002-RB and N2530-6003-RB are functionally equivalent alternatives from the 3M 2500 series. Both parts maintain the core 30-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration with shrouded 4-wall construction. The primary difference between these two 3M variants is contact post length (0.112" versus 0.155"), allowing selection based on specific PCB stack-up requirements. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. The N2530-6002-RB provides a contact post length closer to the original specification, while the N2530-6003-RB accommodates thicker PCB assemblies.

Alternative Substitute - Amphenol ICC 52601-S30-4LF

The Amphenol ICC 52601-S30-4LF from the Quickie™ series maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters. This part features a slightly shorter mating contact length (0.230" versus 0.240") and is available with gold or GXT™ contact finish options. The part is RoHS compliant and active in production status.

Specialized Substitute - Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK

The Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK offers the highest current rating (3A) among available substitutes and features gold post finish. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced current-carrying capacity. Operating temperature range extends to -40°C minimum, and the part supports multiple mated stacking heights (9.65mm, 11.2mm, 13.35mm, 18.35mm). ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0702463001 be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 0702463021?

A: Yes. The 0702463001 maintains identical pitch, position count, row configuration, shrouding, and fastening specifications. The primary differences are post finish composition (tin versus tin-lead) and insulation material enhancement (glass-filled PBT). These differences do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the key difference between the 3M N2530-6002-RB and N2530-6003-RB?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary distinction is contact post length: the N2530-6002-RB provides 0.112" (2.84mm) post length, while the N2530-6003-RB provides 0.155" (3.94mm) post length. Selection depends on PCB thickness and assembly requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts are RoHS compliant (RoHS3 or RoHS Compliant status). The original Molex 0702463021 is RoHS non-compliant. Substitution with any listed part addresses RoHS compliance requirements for new designs.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: Molex 0702463001 is supplied in Tray packaging. Amphenol ICC 52601-S30-4LF is supplied in Tray packaging. 3M N2530-6002-RB and N2530-6003-RB are supplied in Bulk packaging. Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Which substitute offers the highest current rating?

A: The Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK provides the highest current rating at 3A, compared to 1.75A for the 3M N2530 series. The Molex and Amphenol ICC parts do not specify current ratings.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes, all substitute parts maintain the same 30-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch configuration and shrouded 4-wall construction. Variations in contact post length and insulation height are minor and typically accommodated within standard PCB design tolerances. Verify specific contact length requirements for your application stack-up.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The 3M N2530 series and Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK specify operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C and -40°C to 105°C respectively). The Molex and Amphenol ICC parts do not specify operating temperature limits in the provided data.
