Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0791077213 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 28 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch with matching row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Mating Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Insulation Height: 0.175" (4.45mm) to ensure mechanical compatibility
• Operating Environment: -55°C to 125°C temperature range
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The Samtec MMS-114-01-H-DV meets these core substitution criteria, maintaining mechanical interchangeability and electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0791077213 and Samtec MMS-114-01-H-DV are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: Molex 0791077213 has 941 units in stock; Samtec MMS-114-01-H-DV has 828 units in stock
• Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance posture for automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications applications
• Mechanical Interchangeability: Identical pitch, row spacing, insulation height, and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB compatibility
• Contact Performance: Both employ phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating surfaces and operate within the specified -55°C to 125°C range

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable on the PCB? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079"), row spacing (0.079"), insulation height (0.175"), and through-hole mounting specifications, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What determines if a connector can substitute for the Molex 0791077213? A: Substitution requires matching connector type (receptacle), contact configuration (28-position female socket), pitch and row spacing (0.079"), mounting method (through-hole solder), fastening type (push-pull), mating contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory requirements? A: Yes. Both are ROHS3 compliant, classified as EAR99, and assigned the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040), meeting equivalent regulatory standards for the specified applications.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts? A: The Molex 0791077213 is rated at 1A per contact, while the Samtec MMS-114-01-H-DV is rated at 3.9A per contact. Circuit design must account for the selected part's current rating.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors? A: The Molex 0791077213 packaging is not specified in the product data. The Samtec MMS-114-01-H-DV is supplied in bulk packaging.
