Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0713085514 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Connector type: Header, Breakaway configuration
Contact type: Male Pin
Number of positions and rows: 14 positions in 2-row arrangement
Pitch specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
Mounting type: Surface Mount
Termination method: Solder
Fastening type: Push-Pull
Contact finish: Tin plating
Shrouding: Unshrouded design
Compliance: RoHS and REACH status

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part 95278-401A14LF meets all these core parameters and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and fastening mechanism, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0713085514 and Amphenol ICC 95278-401A14LF are active products with equivalent compliance certifications. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol ICC part carries standard RoHS compliance. Both are suitable for applications requiring surface mount rectangular connectors with 14-position, 2-row configurations and 0.100" pitch spacing.

The Amphenol ICC substitute provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A per contact), which are not documented for the Molex part. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height, with the Amphenol ICC part featuring slightly shorter mating contact length (0.232" versus 0.240") and greater insulation height (0.100" versus 0.090"). These differences remain within typical connector design tolerances for board-to-board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the Amphenol ICC 95278-401A14LF a valid substitute for the Molex 0713085514?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 14-position, 2-row header configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, surface mount solder termination, push-pull fastening, unshrouded male pin design, and tin contact finish. Both are active products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC part has a mating contact length of 0.232" (5.90mm) compared to the Molex part's 0.240" (6.10mm). The Amphenol ICC insulation height is 0.100" (2.54mm) versus the Molex part's 0.090" (2.29mm). These variations are within standard connector design tolerances and do not affect board-to-board compatibility.

Q: What are the contact material differences?

A: The Molex part uses copper alloy contacts, while the Amphenol ICC part uses phosphor bronze. Both materials are standard for connector applications and provide equivalent electrical performance with tin plating.

Q: Does the Amphenol ICC part provide additional electrical specifications?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 95278-401A14LF specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 125°C and a current rating of 3A per contact. The Molex part does not document these specifications in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex part is ROHS3 compliant, and the Amphenol ICC part is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
