Molex 0850017005 64-Position DIN Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0850017005 is a 64-position DIN connector header designed for backplane applications. This component features male pins with gold plating, right-angle mounting, and through-hole solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. Active alternatives are available from qualified manufacturers that maintain compatibility with the original electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS and UL94 V-0 requirements, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

The HARTING 09023646921 offers equivalent mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original Molex component. This part is packaged in bulk format and maintains the same DIN 41612 series specification.

The Hirose PCN10MC-64P-2.54DS(72) provides an alternative with documented gold contact finish and specified current rating of 2A. This part is supplied in tray packaging and operates within a -55°C to 85°C temperature range, which covers standard industrial applications. The PCN10 series designation indicates active product line support.

Selection between substitute options should be based on procurement availability, packaging requirements, and specific application temperature constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09023646921 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0850017005?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (64), row configuration (2), mounting style (right-angle through-hole), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish specifications?

A: The Molex original specifies gold plating at 24.0µin thickness. The Hirose substitute specifies 8.00µin gold thickness. Both provide adequate contact performance for the connector class. The HARTING part does not specify contact finish in available documentation.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences that affect substitution?

A: The Molex original operates from -55°C to 125°C. The Hirose substitute operates from -55°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the original Molex specification or HARTING part should be verified for temperature capability. Standard industrial applications typically operate within the Hirose range.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The Molex original is supplied in standard packaging. The HARTING 09023646921 is available in bulk format. The Hirose PCN10MC-64P-2.54DS(72) is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The HARTING part is ROHS3 compliant. The Hirose part is RoHS compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.
