Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both TE Connectivity substitute parts maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the Molex 0850520165 across all critical parameters. Selection between the two TE Connectivity options depends on regulatory requirements:
TE Connectivity 5650868-5 is the preferred substitute for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, matching the original part's regulatory status and ensuring consistency with modern environmental standards.
TE Connectivity 650868-5 is available as an alternative where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for legacy system maintenance or where existing inventory constraints necessitate its use. This part remains functionally equivalent across all mechanical and electrical specifications.
Both parts are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete Molex component.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can TE Connectivity 5650868-5 and 650868-5 be used interchangeably with the Molex 0850520165?
A: Both TE Connectivity parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent to the Molex 0850520165. Selection between them depends on RoHS compliance requirements for your application. The 5650868-5 maintains ROHS3 compliance matching the original part.
Q: What is the difference between the two TE Connectivity substitutes?
A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. TE Connectivity 5650868-5 is ROHS3 compliant, while 650868-5 is RoHS non-compliant. All other mechanical, electrical, and thermal specifications are identical.
Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?
A: All three parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special packaging variations affect substitution eligibility.
Q: Why is the original Molex part obsolete?
A: The Molex 0850520165 has reached end-of-life status. TE Connectivity's Eurocard series DIN receptors provide direct functional replacement with active production support.
Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?
A: The 48-position count, 0.100" pitch, 3-row configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, gold contact finish, and -55°C to 125°C operating range are non-negotiable for mechanical and electrical compatibility.
