Molex 0870493016 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0870493016 is a rectangular connector header, right-angle mounted, with 30 positions at 2.00mm pitch. This through-hole component is designed for board-to-board applications in automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications sectors. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across the same connector category and pitch specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0870493016 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 30 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 2 — exact match required
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm) — exact match required
• Connector Type: Header — exact match required
• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle — exact match required
• Termination: Solder — exact match required
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — exact match required

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

1. Molex 0877603016 — Direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status
2. Amphenol ICC (FCI) 58102-F61-15LF — Cross-manufacturer substitute with active product status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0877603016 is the primary substitute for the obsolete Molex 0870493016. Both parts are from the same manufacturer and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0877603016 is actively produced and carries ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. This part is the direct evolutionary replacement within the Molex product line.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 58102-F61-15LF serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when Molex supply is unavailable. This part meets all critical substitution parameters and carries RoHS compliance. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact post length (0.098" versus 0.102") and insulation height (0.165" versus 0.169"), which remain within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board applications. The contact material differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and the insulation material is thermoplastic rather than glass-filled PCT. These differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Selection between substitutes should be based on supply availability, compliance requirements, and design validation timelines. Both parts maintain the same pitch, position count, and mounting configuration required for direct mechanical and electrical interchange.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0877603016 directly replace the obsolete 0870493016?

A: Yes. The 0877603016 is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both parts share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact specifications. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the Molex 0877603016 and Amphenol ICC 58102-F61-15LF?

A: Both parts meet the core substitution criteria of pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. Differences include contact post length (0.102" versus 0.098"), insulation height (0.169" versus 0.165"), contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy), and insulation material (glass-filled PCT versus thermoplastic). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for board-to-board applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0870493016 is supplied in bulk packaging, the Molex 0877603016 in trays, and the Amphenol ICC 58102-F61-15LF in bags. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may influence handling, storage, and procurement workflows.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting standard safety requirements for connector applications.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The main part (0870493016) is RoHS non-compliant, while both substitutes are RoHS compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations, either substitute is appropriate. For legacy systems, RoHS compliance may not be a requirement.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications equivalent across all parts?

A: All parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The Molex parts specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, while the Amphenol ICC part specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm) with GXT™ technology. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard applications.
