Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0850520000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Position count: 96 positions with 64 positions loaded
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 3 rows
• Mounting method: Through hole, right angle
• Termination type: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 5650870-4 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5650870-4 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0850520000. Selection is based on:

• Complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across all critical specifications
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS compliance certification meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical operating temperature range and flammability rating
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification
• Identical connector geometry, pitch, and mounting configuration

The transition from the obsolete Molex part to the active TE Connectivity equivalent presents no functional or compatibility constraints for applications currently using the 0850520000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5650870-4 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0850520000?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact finish. The TE Connectivity part is functionally equivalent and maintains the same operating temperature range and flammability rating.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Molex 0850520000 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 5650870-4 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing system support.

Q: Are there any differences in insulation material between these connectors?

A: The Molex part uses polyester thermoplastic insulation, while the TE Connectivity part uses polymer thermoplastic with glass filling. Both materials meet the UL94 V-0 flammability requirement and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Q: Do both connectors have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Q: What is the loaded position count, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both connectors have 64 positions loaded out of 96 total positions. This specification is identical between the main part and substitute, confirming full compatibility.
