Molex 0850030048 48-Position DIN Connector Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0850030048 is a 48-position DIN connector header with male pins, gold-plated contacts, and right-angle through-hole mounting for PCB applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The connector operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0850030048 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Pin Configuration: Header with male pins, 48 positions, 32 positions loaded
Physical Dimensions: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3-row configuration, C/2 style
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation, solder termination
Electrical & Environmental: Gold contact finish, -55°C to 125°C operating range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Compliance: Polyester thermoplastic insulation, MSL 1 rating

The substitute parts listed below meet these core parameters. Variations in current rating, contact finish thickness specification, and mounting subtype (PCB vs. board edge) are noted but do not preclude functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 86094327313755E1LF provides direct functional equivalence to the Molex 0850030048. Both components share identical connector geometry, pitch, row configuration, and electrical operating parameters. The substitute is active in production with higher inventory availability (3831 pcs vs. 623 pcs) and maintains full RoHS compliance. Current rating specification (1.5A) is provided for the substitute, whereas the original part does not specify this parameter. MSL 1 rating is maintained.

Amphenol ICC 86094327313T55F1LF is the manufacturer-recommended alternative. This part differs in mounting type (board edge vs. PCB) and includes board lock features. Current rating is specified at 2A. This variant is suitable for applications requiring board-edge mounting geometry. MSL classification is not applicable for this variant. Selection between the two Amphenol options depends on specific PCB mounting requirements.

Both Amphenol substitutes are active products with established supply chains, making them suitable for long-term design support where the original Molex component is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 86094327313755E1LF directly replace the Molex 0850030048 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting orientation, and operating temperature range. The substitute maintains the same solder termination and gold contact finish. No PCB layout modifications are required for this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two Amphenol substitute options?

A: The 86094327313755E1LF is a PCB-mounted header, functionally equivalent to the original Molex part. The 86094327313T55F1LF is a board-edge mounted variant with integrated board lock features and higher current rating (2A vs. 1.5A). Selection depends on whether your application requires board-edge mounting geometry.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The original part carries ROHS3 designation, while the substitutes carry RoHS Compliant designation. All three parts use polyester thermoplastic insulation. The 86094327313755E1LF maintains MSL 1 rating identical to the original; the 86094327313T55F1LF has MSL not applicable.

Q: Does the current rating difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The original Molex part does not specify current rating. The Amphenol substitutes specify 1.5A and 2A respectively. If your application requires current capacity verification, the Amphenol specifications provide this data. The higher current rating of the board-edge variant (2A) does not create incompatibility with designs using the original part.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both Amphenol substitutes are supplied in tray packaging. The original Molex part packaging type is not specified in the available data.
