Molex 0702800612 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0702800612 is an active-status vertical header connector designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 48-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch serves board-to-board and cable interconnection requirements across automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific performance characteristics are required for particular application environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0702800612 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Row Configuration: 48 positions in 2-row arrangement
Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Connector Classification: Header type with male pin contacts
Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
Electrical and Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The substitute part Amphenol ICC 77313-118-48LF meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position counts, pitch specifications, mounting methods, and compliance certifications. Variations in contact geometry, contact material composition, and contact finish specifications do not preclude substitution when application requirements do not mandate specific contact performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0702800612 and Amphenol ICC 77313-118-48LF maintain active product status and satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Molex 0702800612: Primary selection when original equipment specifications explicitly reference the C-Grid 70280 series or when tin-plated copper alloy contacts are required for cost optimization in general-purpose applications.

Amphenol ICC 77313-118-48LF: Selection when gold-plated contact finishes are required for enhanced corrosion resistance in high-reliability or harsh-environment applications, or when the specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 130°C) and current rating (3A per contact) align with application requirements.

Both parts are suitable for automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications where 48-position, 2.54mm-pitch through-hole header connectors are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 77313-118-48LF directly replace the Molex 0702800612 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position counts (48), pitch specifications (0.100"), row configurations (2 rows), mounting methods (through-hole), and termination types (solder). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained across standard PCB layouts designed for 2.54mm-pitch headers.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: Primary differences include contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), contact finish (tin vs. gold), insulation material (LCP glass-filled vs. thermoplastic), and specified operating temperature range. The Amphenol part provides documented current rating and temperature specifications not listed for the Molex part.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and RoHS compliance requirements. The Amphenol part carries additional REACH Affected designation. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Which connector should be selected for high-reliability applications?

A: The Amphenol ICC 77313-118-48LF with gold-plated mating contacts is suitable for high-reliability applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance and documented operating temperature and current specifications.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are listed for automotive applications and maintain appropriate compliance certifications for this use case.
