Molex 0713085406 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0713085406 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 6 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This C-Grid 71308 series connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications and features male pins with tin contact finish on a copper alloy base. The part is currently active in production with 801 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original Molex 0713085406 becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design specifications allow for compatible connector types that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0713085406 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
Number of Positions: 6 — exact match required
Number of Rows: 2 — exact match required
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
Mounting Type: Surface Mount — exact match required
Termination: Solder — exact match required
Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — minimum requirement

Substitute parts may vary in contact finish (tin or gold), contact material (copper alloy or phosphor bronze), insulation material composition, connector type designation (header vs. piston), packaging format, and product status. These variations do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility when the core parameters remain constant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full Compliance)

Amphenol ICC 95278-101A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, and 95278-401A06LF are the preferred substitutes. All three maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 95278-101A06LF offers cut tape and Digi-Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly. The 95278-101B06LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 95278-401A06LF is supplied on tape and reel. Contact finish differs (gold GXT™ or tin) but does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Compliance Considerations)

Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 and Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV are active alternatives with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating. Both feature gold contact finish and phosphor bronze contacts. The Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV is a cuttable header design supplied in tube format.

Not Recommended for New Designs

Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and features a spring piston contact type rather than male pins, representing a different connector architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0713085406 with any of these parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain the same pitch (0.100"), position count (6), row configuration (2 rows), and row spacing (0.100"). PCB footprints designed for the Molex 0713085406 are mechanically compatible with all listed substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC 95278-101A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, and 95278-401A06LF?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The differences are packaging format only: 95278-101A06LF is supplied in cut tape and Digi-Reel format for automated pick-and-place assembly; 95278-101B06LF is supplied in tube packaging; 95278-401A06LF is supplied on tape and reel. Select based on your manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have gold contact finish while the original has tin?

A: Contact finish (tin or gold) does not affect mechanical compatibility or basic electrical function. Gold provides enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments. Tin is standard for general-purpose applications. Selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Is the Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 a direct substitute?

A: No. While it matches the pitch, position count, and row configuration, the Mill-Max part uses a spring piston contact design rather than male pins. This represents a different connector architecture and is not recommended as a direct substitute without design verification.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 as a substitute?

A: This part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. It is not recommended for new designs or production applications requiring current compliance standards.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV and other substitutes?

A: The Samtec part is a cuttable header design, allowing individual positions to be separated if required. It is supplied in tube packaging. Electrically and mechanically, it is compatible with the Molex 0713085406 when used as a complete 6-position assembly.
