Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Molex 0702472052

The Molex 0702472052 is the direct series equivalent within the C-Grid 70247 family. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 0702472002 while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The primary material difference—phosphor bronze contact material versus brass—does not affect functional compatibility. This part is the preferred choice for designs requiring minimal qualification effort and maximum form-factor compatibility.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09185207323

The HARTING 09185207323 (SEK series) provides an active cross-manufacturer alternative with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The latch holder fastening mechanism differs from the push-pull design of the main part; however, the connector maintains all critical dimensional parameters. This option is suitable for applications where extended temperature performance is required.

Alternative Recommendation: TE Connectivity 103310-5

The TE Connectivity 103310-5 (AMP-Latch series) offers active product status with specified current rating of 1A per contact and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). This part retains push-pull fastening identical to the main part. Note that this connector is RoHS non-compliant, limiting its use in applications with RoHS requirements.

Compliance Consideration:

For new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, select from Molex 0702472052, HARTING 09185205323, HARTING 09185207323, or HARTING 09195206323. For legacy designs without RoHS requirements, TE Connectivity 103310-5 remains functionally compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0702472002 be directly replaced with the 0702472052?

A: Yes. Both parts are within the same C-Grid 70247 series and share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding (4-wall). The 0702472052 is the active production equivalent.

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

A: Push-pull fastening (0702472002, 0702472052, 103310-5) uses a simple push-to-connect, pull-to-disconnect mechanism. Latch holder fastening (HARTING SEK series) uses a latching mechanism for more secure mating. Both are mechanically compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch connectors but require different mating procedures.

Q: Are HARTING SEK series connectors mechanically compatible with Molex C-Grid 70247 connectors?

A: HARTING SEK series connectors meet the critical dimensional parameters (pitch, position count, row spacing, shrouding) required for mechanical compatibility. However, the fastening mechanism differs (latch holder vs. push-pull), which may affect mating force and user interface. Verify mating connector compatibility before design implementation.

Q: Does the contact material difference (brass vs. phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy) affect electrical performance?

A: All three materials—brass, phosphor bronze, and copper alloy—are standard contact materials for 2.54mm pitch connectors and provide equivalent electrical conductivity for this application class. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance profile?

A: Molex 0702472052, HARTING 09185205323, HARTING 09185207323, and HARTING 09195206323 all offer ROHS3 compliance. For applications requiring both RoHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range, HARTING 09185207323 (-55°C to 125°C) is the optimal choice.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Molex 0702472052 is supplied in bulk packaging. HARTING 09185205323 is supplied in bulk. HARTING 09185206323 and 09185207323 are supplied in tray packaging. TE Connectivity 103310-5 is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 103310-5 suitable for new designs?

A: The 103310-5 is functionally compatible and offers active product status with specified current rating (1A per contact). However, it is RoHS non-compliant, which restricts its use in applications subject to RoHS regulations. For new designs, prioritize ROHS3-compliant alternatives unless legacy compatibility is required.
