Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0711095029 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Female gender connector
• Dual-row configuration (2 rows)
• Through-hole mounting capability
• Card thickness accommodation of 0.062" (1.57mm)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Gold contact finish with equivalent thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Solder or press-fit termination methods

Pitch and Position Tolerance:

• Pitch spacing of 0.029" to 0.030" (0.75mm to 0.76mm) allows functional interchangeability
• Position count variance acceptable within dual-edge, dual-row architecture

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10058831-110LF meets these substitution criteria through equivalent mechanical form factor, compatible pitch tolerance, matching operating temperature range, and active product status with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10058831-110LF is the designated substitute for the obsolete Molex 0711095029 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status, with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, supporting seamless integration into existing procurement and export documentation frameworks.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: The substitute provides identical card thickness accommodation, matching operating temperature range, and equivalent gold contact finish specifications. The pitch tolerance variance of 0.001" (0.01mm) falls within standard connector design tolerances for dual-edge applications.

Termination Consideration: The original part uses solder termination while the substitute employs press-fit termination. Both methods provide equivalent electrical and mechanical reliability for through-hole mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the Molex 0711095029?

A: The original part is classified as obsolete. The Amphenol ICC 10058831-110LF provides functional equivalence with active product status and current manufacturing support.

Q: Are the pitch specifications identical between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part specifies 0.030" (0.76mm) pitch while the substitute specifies 0.029" (0.75mm) pitch. This 0.001" (0.01mm) variance is within standard connector design tolerances and does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for dual-edge card applications.

Q: What is the difference between solder and press-fit termination?

A: The original part uses solder termination, requiring wave or reflow soldering processes. The substitute uses press-fit termination, which provides mechanical insertion into PCB plated through-holes without solder. Both methods deliver equivalent electrical performance and mechanical reliability for through-hole applications.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts specify gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -40°C to 85°C, providing equivalent thermal performance for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The original part packaging is not specified. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for high-position-count connectors and supports automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute's active RoHS Compliant status aligns with current regulatory requirements.
