Engineering Selection Recommendations

RoHS Compliance Considerations:

The Molex 0702800711 is ROHS3 Compliant. When selecting substitute parts, compliance status must align with regulatory requirements:

3M 929836-01-03-RK: RoHS Compliant
3M 929836-09-03-RK: RoHS Compliant
3M 929665-01-03-I: RoHS Compliant
3M 2306-6221-TG: RoHS non-compliant
3M 929836-01-03: RoHS non-compliant
TE Connectivity 87227-3: Not applicable

Product Status:

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Contact Finish Variations:

The original part features Tin contact finish. Substitute parts offer alternative finishes including Gold and Tin-Lead. Contact finish selection impacts corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Gold-plated contacts (3M 2306-6221-TG, 3M 929665-01-03-I, TE Connectivity 87227-3) provide enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Contact Length Differences:

Substitute parts exhibit shorter overall contact lengths compared to the original Molex part. The 3M 929836-09-03-RK variant provides the longest post length (0.145") among 3M 929 series options, suitable for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the Molex 0702800711?

A: Substitution is based on matching core parameters: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 6 positions in 2 rows, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and unshrouded design. All listed parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in contact length between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0702800711 has an overall contact length of 0.595" (15.11mm), while substitute parts range from 0.445" to 0.538". Contact length affects PCB penetration depth and mating force. Verify PCB thickness compatibility when selecting alternatives.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best RoHS compliance?

A: The 3M 929836-01-03-RK, 3M 929836-09-03-RK, and 3M 929665-01-03-I are all RoHS Compliant, matching the original part's ROHS3 Compliant status. The 3M 2306-6221-TG and 3M 929836-01-03 are RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What is the difference between 3M 929836-01-03-RK and 3M 929836-09-03-RK?

A: Both parts are from the 3M 929 series with identical core parameters. The primary difference is contact length: 929836-01-03-RK has a post length of 0.110" (2.79mm), while 929836-09-03-RK has a post length of 0.145" (3.68mm). Select based on PCB thickness requirements.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility?

A: The original Molex 0702800711 does not specify an operating temperature range. Substitute parts range from -40°C to -65°C minimum and 105°C maximum. Verify that the substitute part's temperature range meets application requirements.

Q: Are there current rating differences between parts?

A: The original part does not specify a current rating. Substitute parts are rated at either 2.5A (3M 929 series) or 3A (3M 2306-6221-TG and TE Connectivity 87227-3). Select based on circuit current requirements.

Q: What contact material options are available?

A: Most substitute parts use Copper Alloy contacts. The TE Connectivity 87227-3 uses Phosphor Bronze, which offers different mechanical and electrical properties. Contact material selection impacts durability and mating force characteristics.
