Molex 0713086406 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0713086406 is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 6 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as a board-to-board or cable interface component with male pin contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1002 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design requirements call for different contact materials or finishes that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full Compliance):

The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® series parts (95278-101-06LF, 95278-101A06LF, 95278-101B06LF, and 95278-401A06LF) are direct functional equivalents with active product status and RoHS compliance. These parts differ from the Molex 0713086406 in contact finish (Gold GXT™ or Tin versus Tin) and insulation material (Thermoplastic versus LCP Glass Filled), but maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 95278-101A06LF variant offers Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The 95278-401A06LF provides Tape & Reel packaging for high-volume production. The 95278-101B06LF is supplied in Tube packaging.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Compliance Considerations):

The Sullins GBC03DABN-M30 is an active substitute with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C). This part uses Polyamide (PA9T) insulation material and Gold contact finish with minimal thickness (10.0µin). The Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV is an active substitute with ROHS3 compliance, LCP insulation material matching the main part, and Gold contact finish. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C.

Not Recommended:

The Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 has Obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliance, making it unsuitable for new designs. The Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 is a Piston connector type, which is mechanically and electrically incompatible with the header connector requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0713086406 with the Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03?

A: No. Although the 54202-G08-03 shares the same pitch, position count, and row configuration, it has Obsolete product status and is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing production, use active alternatives such as the 95278-101-06LF or 95278-101A06LF.

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

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging: the 95278-101A06LF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format for automated assembly, while the 95278-101B06LF is supplied in Tube packaging for manual handling or lower-volume applications.

Q: Can I use the Mill-Max 814-22-006-30-007101 as a substitute?

A: No. The Mill-Max part is a Piston connector type, not a Header connector. Piston connectors have different mechanical and electrical characteristics and are not compatible with header connector applications.

Q: What are the key differences between the Molex 0713086406 and the Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV?

A: Both parts meet the critical parameters for substitution: 0.100" pitch, 6 positions in 2 rows, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The Samtec part features LCP insulation material (matching the Molex), Gold contact finish with 10.0µin thickness, and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C. The Molex part has a slightly higher contact finish thickness (59.0µin Tin) and unspecified operating temperature.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC 54202-G08-03 is RoHS non-compliant. All other listed substitutes (95278 series, Mill-Max 814-22, Sullins GBC03DABN-M30, and Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV) are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Packaging varies by part number. Bulk packaging is available from Molex, Amphenol ICC (95278-101-06LF), and Sullins. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® is available from Amphenol ICC (95278-101A06LF). Tube packaging is available from Amphenol ICC (95278-101B06LF) and Samtec. Tape & Reel is available from Amphenol ICC (95278-401A06LF). Select packaging based on assembly process requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same contact length?

A: No. The Molex 0713086406 has a contact length of 0.240" (6.10mm). Most substitutes have 0.232" (5.90mm) or 0.230" (5.84mm) contact lengths. These variations fall within the allowable range for mechanical compatibility but should be verified against specific PCB design requirements.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between the main part and substitutes?

A: The Molex 0713086406 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) Glass Filled insulation. Substitutes use Thermoplastic (Amphenol ICC 95278 series), Polyamide PA9T (Sullins GBC03DABN-M30), or LCP (Samtec TSM-103-01-L-DV). All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the same applications.
