Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Molex 0702463402

The Molex 0702463402 is the direct manufacturer equivalent, maintaining the same C-Grid 70246 series designation while transitioning to active product status. This part achieves ROHS3 compliance and is available in bulk packaging with 775 units in stock. The contact finish post specification changes from tin-lead to tin, and the insulation material adds glass-filled PBT composition. These modifications represent standard manufacturing improvements without affecting functional compatibility.

Secondary Recommendations for Active Inventory:

TE Connectivity 5103308-7 offers the highest inventory availability (3,916 units) in tray packaging with ROHS3 compliance. This AMP-Latch series part maintains identical mating contact specifications and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C).

3M 30334-6002HB provides an alternative from a third-party manufacturer with 2,303 units available. This part specifies 1A current rating and operates across -55°C to 105°C, with both mating and post contacts finished in gold.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from: Molex 0702463402, KYOCERA AVX 008383034000010, Amphenol ICC 10056844-134LF, Amphenol ICC 10079528-134LF, TE Connectivity 5103308-7, or 3M 30334-6002HB. The original Molex 0702463422 and TE Connectivity 103309-7 and 103308-7 are RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0702463402 directly replace the obsolete Molex 0702463422?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 34-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch header with shrouded 4-wall design and through-hole solder termination. The 0702463402 represents the active production equivalent with improved RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between push-pull and latch holder fastening types?

A: Both fastening mechanisms provide secure mating. Push-pull fastening uses a simple push-to-connect, pull-to-disconnect interface. Latch holder fastening incorporates a mechanical latch for additional retention. The Amphenol ICC 10079528-134LF uses latch holder fastening while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical equivalence.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between substitutes?

A: Yes. The original Molex 0702463422 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while substitutes employ brass or copper alloy materials. These material variations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified application parameters.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Substitutes are supplied in bulk, tray, tube, or tape & reel formats. Selection depends on production volume and assembly automation requirements. Bulk and tray packaging suit higher-volume applications, while tube packaging accommodates lower-volume needs.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness variation affect compatibility?

A: No. All parts specify gold plating on mating contacts with thickness ranging from 15.0µin to 30.0µin. These variations remain within acceptable electrical and mechanical performance ranges for the connector application.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: TE Connectivity 5103308-7 provides the highest stock level at 3,916 units in tray packaging with ROHS3 compliance and active product status.
