Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0762899205 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style: Header with male pins, Impact configuration with guide right orientation
• Position count and arrangement: 216 positions in 18 rows by 12 columns
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole PCB mounting with press-fit termination
• Electrical specifications: 30V voltage rating, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Environmental compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating
• Operating range: -55°C to 85°C temperature specification

The substitute part must match all these parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility within the original application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0762899208 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 0762899205. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the Impact 76289 series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 0762899205 is obsolete while the 0762899208 is active and currently in production. The 0762899208 is available in tray packaging, whereas packaging information for the original part was not specified.

From an engineering perspective, the 0762899208 provides continuity for applications requiring 216-position backplane connectors with the specified Impact configuration. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The active status of the 0762899208 ensures ongoing supply chain availability and manufacturing support.
