Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between alternatives is based on specific application requirements and compliance needs:

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 77313-101-60LF and 77313-118-60LF are qualified substitutes with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status. Both feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold or gold GXT™ mating finish and thermoplastic insulation. The primary difference between these two Amphenol parts is contact post length: 77313-101-60LF provides 0.095" (2.41mm) post length, while 77313-118-60LF provides 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. Both support 3A per contact current rating and operate across -65°C to 130°C temperature range.

Sullins Connector Solutions PBC30DAAN is a ROHS3 compliant alternative with phosphor bronze contacts and gold mating finish. This part features polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation and operates across -65°C to 125°C temperature range. The PBC30DAAN carries 3A current rating and has REACH unaffected status with not applicable moisture sensitivity level.

Contact length variations across substitute parts reflect design differences in post and mating contact dimensions. Applications requiring specific contact engagement depths or PCB stack-up tolerances must account for these dimensional variations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these substitute parts mechanically interchangeable with the Molex 0702800618?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed for standard board-to-board and cable applications. However, contact length variations (mating and post) may affect engagement depth and PCB stack-up compatibility in space-constrained designs.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol ICC 77313-101-60LF and 77313-118-60LF?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is contact post length: 77313-101-60LF has 0.095" (2.41mm) post length, while 77313-118-60LF has 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. This affects overall contact length and PCB hole engagement. Selection depends on specific PCB thickness and solder joint requirements.

Q: Do these substitute parts have different contact finishes?

A: Yes. The Molex 0702800618 features tin mating contact finish. Both Amphenol ICC parts offer gold or gold GXT™ mating finish, while the Sullins PBC30DAAN provides gold mating finish. Gold finishes provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin, which may be beneficial in harsh environmental conditions.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The Molex 0702800618 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation. Amphenol ICC parts use thermoplastic insulation, while the Sullins PBC30DAAN uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection affects mechanical properties, temperature performance, and chemical resistance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0702800618 and Sullins PBC30DAAN are ROHS3 compliant. Amphenol ICC parts are RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The Molex 0702800618 does not specify operating temperature. Amphenol ICC parts (both 77313-101-60LF and 77313-118-60LF) operate from -65°C to 130°C. The Sullins PBC30DAAN operates from -65°C to 125°C. Application temperature requirements should guide part selection.

Q: What current rating do these connectors support?

A: The Molex 0702800618 does not specify current rating. All three substitute parts support 3A per contact (or 3A total for the Sullins part). Applications requiring higher current capacity require alternative connector designs.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed for standard applications. However, design validation is necessary when substituting due to variations in contact length, insulation material, contact finish, and operating temperature range. PCB hole sizing, solder joint geometry, and environmental exposure should be evaluated for each application.
