Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain functional equivalence to the Molex 0702466021 across core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following criteria:

RoHS Compliance: The original Molex 0702466021 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the following active parts are available: TE Connectivity 1-5103308-2, Hirose HIF3FB-60PA-2.54DSA(71), 3M N2560-6002-RB, 3M N2560-6003-RB, and Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D30-ST-BK. All other substitute parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part.

Product Status: The Molex 0702466021 is obsolete. All listed substitute parts are active products with ongoing manufacturing support and availability.

REACH Compliance: The Molex 0702466021 and most substitute parts are REACH Unaffected. Amphenol ICC 66506-057 is REACH Affected; this distinction may be relevant for applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements.

Contact Post Length Variations: The 3M N2560-6003-RB features a longer contact post (0.155" / 3.94mm) compared to the original part (0.135" / 3.43mm). This variation may affect board-level clearances and should be evaluated against specific PCB design constraints.

Insulation Color: Amphenol ICC 78280-460 features blue insulation, while all other parts maintain black insulation consistent with the original specification.

Current and Voltage Ratings: Substitute parts provide specified current ratings ranging from 1A to 3A and voltage ratings up to 200V. The original Molex part does not specify these parameters. Applications requiring specific current or voltage performance should reference the rated values of selected substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the Molex 0702466021 with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 60-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall construction, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Physical compatibility is maintained across all substitutes. However, verify contact post length and insulation height against your specific PCB design to ensure clearance compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the Molex 0702466021?

A: The Molex 0702466021 is classified as obsolete. Substitution is necessary to secure ongoing supply, maintain production continuity, and support field maintenance. All listed substitute parts are active products with established manufacturing and distribution channels.

Q: Are there RoHS-compliant alternatives available?

A: Yes. Five substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant: TE Connectivity 1-5103308-2, Hirose HIF3FB-60PA-2.54DSA(71), 3M N2560-6002-RB, 3M N2560-6003-RB, and Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D30-ST-BK. The original Molex part and two Amphenol ICC substitutes remain RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same contact material?

A: No. The original Molex part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts. Substitutes employ Brass, Copper Alloy, or Phosphor Bronze. Contact material differences do not affect functional compatibility but may influence electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics. Verify material selection against application-specific requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in Tube (TE Connectivity 1-5103308-2), Tray (Amphenol ICC 66506-057, Hirose HIF3FB-60PA-2.54DSA(71), Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D30-ST-BK), or Bulk (Amphenol ICC 78280-460, 3M N2560-6002-RB, 3M N2560-6003-RB) packaging. Packaging selection should align with production volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest current rating?

A: The Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D30-ST-BK provides the highest current rating at 3A per contact, compared to 1A to 1.75A for other substitutes. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher current-carrying capacity.

Q: Is the blue insulation color of the Amphenol ICC 78280-460 functionally significant?

A: No. Insulation color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The blue color of the Amphenol ICC 78280-460 is a cosmetic distinction. Selection based on color should be driven by internal design standards or assembly identification requirements only.

Q: What is the difference between the two 3M substitute parts (N2560-6002-RB and N2560-6003-RB)?

A: Both parts are from the 3M 2500 series and share identical specifications except for contact post length. The N2560-6002-RB has a post length of 0.112" (2.84mm), while the N2560-6003-RB has a post length of 0.155" (3.94mm). Selection depends on PCB thickness and clearance requirements. The longer post of the N2560-6003-RB accommodates thicker PCBs or applications requiring extended solder joint length.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same operating temperature range?

A: No. Operating temperature ranges vary: TE Connectivity 1-5103308-2 (-65°C to 105°C), Hirose HIF3FB-60PA-2.54DSA(71) (-55°C to 85°C), 3M parts (-55°C to 105°C), and Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D30-ST-BK (-40°C to 105°C). The original Molex part does not specify an operating temperature range. Applications with extreme temperature requirements should select substitutes with appropriate temperature ratings.

Q: What is the significance of REACH status in the parameter comparison?

A: REACH Unaffected status indicates the part is not subject to REACH regulatory restrictions. Amphenol ICC 66506-057 is REACH Affected, meaning it may contain substances of concern under REACH regulations. For applications subject to REACH compliance requirements, select parts with REACH Unaffected status.
