Molex 0702800633 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0702800633 is a vertical rectangular connector header featuring 10 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole solder-terminated component is designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications across automotive, general purpose, lighting, medical, and telecommunications sectors. The connector utilizes unshrouded, breakaway male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-plated posts, housed in black liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation material rated UL94 V-0. With 807 units in current inventory and active product status, this component remains available for new designs. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative sourcing, design flexibility, or specific compliance requirements.

Substitute parts for the Molex 0702800633 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute connectors must maintain the following core parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Positions: 10
Number of Rows: 2
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Contact Type: Male Pin
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Contact Shape: Square
Insulation Color: Black
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (active product status, full compatibility) and Manufacturer Recommended Alternatives (including obsolete legacy parts and different material specifications). Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish composition, and insulation material are permitted within this product category when the core mating parameters remain identical. RoHS compliance status and contact finish thickness may differ based on application requirements and regulatory jurisdiction.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts for the Molex 0702800633 should be based on product lifecycle status, regulatory compliance requirements, and application-specific constraints.

Active Product Status Substitutes (Recommended for New Designs):

TE Connectivity 5-146257-5, 5-146261-5, 5-146254-5, and 5-146258-5 are active products within the AMPMODU Mod II series. These parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and offer current availability with substantial inventory levels. The TE 5-146257-5 and 5-146254-5 feature 0.120" (3.05mm) post length, while 5-146261-5 and 5-146258-5 provide 0.090" (2.29mm) post length. Contact finish variations include gold-plated and tin-plated mating surfaces. All TE active substitutes operate across -65°C to 105°C temperature range with 3A current rating per contact.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67996-110HLF and 67996-210HLF from the BERGSTIK® II series are active products with RoHS compliance and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). These parts utilize phosphor bronze contact material and feature 0.095" (2.41mm) post length. Contact finish thickness on mating surfaces differs between the two variants (30.0µin and 15.0µin respectively).

3M 2310-6121-TG is an active product but carries RoHS non-compliance status and REACH affected designation. This part features thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material and tin-lead post finish. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C.

Obsolete Product Status (Legacy Applications Only):

TE Connectivity 4-103186-0-05, 4-103328-0-05, and 4-103783-0-05 are obsolete products within the AMPMODU Mod II series. These parts are RoHS non-compliant and feature thermoplastic insulation material with tin-lead contact finishes. Inventory availability is limited (664 to 1885 units). These parts are suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where original specifications must be maintained.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, select from TE Connectivity active products (5-146257-5, 5-146261-5, 5-146254-5, 5-146258-5) or Amphenol ICC active products (67996-110HLF, 67996-210HLF). The Molex 0702800633 itself is ROHS3 compliant, making these substitutes appropriate for regulated industries.

For applications with REACH compliance requirements, Amphenol ICC products are REACH affected, while TE Connectivity products carry vendor undefined REACH status. The Molex 0702800633 is REACH unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a connector can substitute for the Molex 0702800633?

A: The core mating parameters that must remain identical are: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 10 positions in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, male pin contact type, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and square contact shape. All substitute parts listed maintain these specifications. Variations in contact length, insulation material composition, contact finish type, and contact finish thickness are permitted within this connector category.

Q: Can I use TE Connectivity 5-146254-5 (tin-plated mating surface) as a direct replacement for the Molex 0702800633 (gold-plated mating surface)?

A: The TE 5-146254-5 maintains all core mating parameters and mechanical compatibility with the Molex 0702800633. The difference in contact finish (tin versus gold) affects corrosion resistance and contact resistance characteristics. Tin-plated contacts are suitable for general purpose applications with moderate environmental exposure, while gold-plated contacts provide superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments. Application requirements determine the appropriateness of this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between TE 5-146257-5 and TE 5-146261-5?

A: Both parts are active TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II products with identical mating parameters. The primary difference is contact post length: 5-146257-5 features 0.120" (3.05mm) post length with 0.440" (11.18mm) overall contact length, while 5-146261-5 features 0.090" (2.29mm) post length with 0.410" (10.41mm) overall contact length. Post length selection depends on PCB thickness and solder joint requirements. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with 3A current rating.

Q: Why are some substitute parts listed as obsolete?

A: TE Connectivity 4-103186-0-05, 4-103328-0-05, and 4-103783-0-05 are obsolete legacy products from earlier AMPMODU Mod II production. These parts are included as substitutes for legacy system maintenance and replacement applications where original connector specifications must be preserved. Obsolete parts have limited inventory availability and should not be selected for new designs. Active product alternatives are recommended for all new applications.

Q: Are Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II connectors fully compatible with Molex C-Grid 70280 connectors?

A: Amphenol ICC 67996-110HLF and 67996-210HLF maintain all core mating parameters (pitch, position count, row spacing, contact type, termination, and fastening) required for mechanical and electrical compatibility. Differences exist in contact material (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), insulation material specification, and operating temperature range (extended to 125°C). These parts are suitable substitutes where mating interface compatibility is the primary requirement.

Q: What packaging differences exist among the substitute parts?

A: The Molex 0702800633 is supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity substitutes (5-146257-5, 5-146261-5, 5-146254-5, 5-146258-5, and obsolete 4-series parts) are supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II parts (67996-110HLF and 67996-210HLF) are supplied in bag packaging. 3M 2310-6121-TG is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Amphenol ICC 67996-110HLF and 67996-210HLF offer the extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C, compared to the -65°C to 105°C range of most TE Connectivity active products and the Molex 0702800633 (not specified). The 3M 2310-6121-TG operates across -55°C to 105°C. Temperature range selection depends on application environment requirements.
