Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between the Molex 0702871016 and its substitutes depends on specific application constraints:

Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF provides the shortest overall contact length at 0.425" (10.80mm) with gold mating contact finish and operates across -65°C to 130°C. This part is suitable for space-constrained applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Amphenol ICC 77313-818-36LF offers overall contact length of 0.450" (11.43mm) with gold mating contact finish and -65°C to 130°C operating range. This configuration provides a middle-ground contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm).

Sullins PBC18DAAN delivers 0.450" (11.43mm) overall contact length with gold mating finish and operates from -65°C to 125°C. This part uses PBT insulation material and carries ROHS3 compliance with not-applicable moisture sensitivity level.

Sullins PBC18DABN features the longest overall contact length at 0.560" (14.22mm) with extended post length of 0.230" (5.84mm), suitable for applications requiring deeper board penetration. This part also uses PBT insulation and carries ROHS3 compliance.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain the same 36-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and push-pull fastening type as the original Molex part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF directly replace the Molex 0702871016?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application. Both parts share identical position count, row configuration, mating pitch, and row spacing. The Amphenol part has a shorter overall contact length (0.425" versus 0.455") and uses gold mating contact finish instead of tin. Verify that your PCB hole depth and mating connector accommodate these dimensional differences.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two Amphenol ICC substitute parts?

A: The 77313-101-36LF and 77313-818-36LF differ in contact post length. The 77313-101-36LF has a 0.095" (2.41mm) post length, while the 77313-818-36LF has a 0.120" (3.05mm) post length. This affects overall contact length and solder joint depth on the PCB. Select based on your board thickness and soldering requirements.

Q: How do the Sullins PBC18DAAN and PBC18DABN differ?

A: Both Sullins parts use identical insulation material (PBT) and contact configuration. The primary difference is contact post length: PBC18DAAN has 0.120" (3.05mm) post length with 0.450" overall contact length, while PBC18DABN has 0.230" (5.84mm) post length with 0.560" overall contact length. Choose PBC18DABN for applications requiring deeper PCB penetration.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0702871016 is ROHS3 compliant. All four substitute parts carry either RoHS or ROHS3 compliance status, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold mating contact finish?

A: The Molex 0702871016 uses tin mating contact finish, while all substitute parts use gold mating contact finish. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended service life. Tin is more cost-effective but may oxidize in high-humidity or corrosive environments. Select based on application environment and reliability requirements.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: All parts are rated for automotive applications and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. However, verify that your specific automotive qualification or design specification does not mandate the original Molex part number. Contact your design authority or OEM for approval before substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between parts?

A: The Molex 0702871016 does not specify an operating temperature range. Amphenol ICC parts operate from -65°C to 130°C, while Sullins parts operate from -65°C to 125°C. If your application requires operation above 125°C, the Amphenol ICC parts provide 5°C additional headroom.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: All parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels vary: Molex 0702871016 (952 pcs), Amphenol ICC 77313-101-36LF (1309 pcs), Amphenol ICC 77313-818-36LF (1046 pcs), Sullins PBC18DAAN (1333 pcs), and Sullins PBC18DABN (2290 pcs).
