Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0872640852 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0872640850 based on the following critical parameters:

Connector configuration: Both are 8-position receptacles with identical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 2-row layout
Mechanical compatibility: Both feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with matching insulation height (0.157"), contact length (0.100"), and contact shape (square)
Electrical specifications: Both maintain 1A current rating and 125VAC voltage rating with identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
Contact finish - mating: Both use gold plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness
Series alignment: Both belong to the Milli-Grid 87264 series with matching base product number 087264

The primary distinction is product status: the 0872640850 is obsolete, while the 0872640852 is active with higher inventory availability (11,083 pcs vs. 848 pcs).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0872640852 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0872640850. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in existing PCB designs and cable assemblies.

The 0872640852 offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 0872640850 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations in the EU and other jurisdictions. The post contact finish differs (tin versus tin-lead), but both maintain equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability within the specified operating parameters.

Inventory availability strongly favors the 0872640852, with 11,083 units in stock compared to 848 units of the obsolete part. For new designs and ongoing production, the 0872640852 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0872640850 and 0872640852 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical pitch (0.079"), row spacing (0.079"), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), and physical dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes with no PCB layout modifications required.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 0872640850 has tin-lead post finish, while the 0872640852 has tin post finish. Both maintain the same gold mating contact finish (15.0µin). The post finish difference does not affect electrical performance or compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The 0872640852 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 0872640850 is not. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 0872640852 is mandatory. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 0872640852 is supplied in tube packaging. The original part packaging specification was not provided.

Q: Are there any electrical rating differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical current rating (1A), voltage rating (125VAC), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C).

Q: Can I use the 0872640852 in existing designs specified for the 0872640850?

A: Yes. The 0872640852 is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. The higher inventory availability and active product status make it the preferred choice for new production and legacy system support.
