Molex 0872642850 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0872642850 is a 28-position receptacle connector from the Milli-Grid 87264 series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing. This connector features right-angle through-hole mounting with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead post finish. The part is currently obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0872642850 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Number of positions (28)
Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
Number of rows (2)
Row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Current and voltage ratings (1A / 125VAC)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
Mating contact finish (Gold)
Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)

The Molex 0872642852 meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0872642852 is the direct functional equivalent of the 0872642850. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the Milli-Grid 87264 series. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 0872642850 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0872642852 is active and ROHS3 compliant. The post contact finish differs (tin-lead versus tin), though both maintain equivalent thickness specifications. The 0872642852 is available in tube packaging with higher inventory levels, supporting production continuity and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0872642850 and 0872642852 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact geometry. They are mechanically interchangeable in board-level applications.

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

A: The 0872642850 features tin-lead post finish, while the 0872642852 features tin post finish. Both maintain 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. This difference reflects RoHS compliance requirements; the 0872642852 eliminates lead content per ROHS3 standards.

Q: Can I use the 0872642852 as a replacement in existing designs?

A: The 0872642852 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0872642850 across all critical parameters: 28 positions, 0.079" pitch, 1A current rating, 125VAC voltage rating, and -55°C to 105°C operating range. Compatibility depends on your specific application requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

Q: Why is the 0872642850 listed as obsolete?

A: The 0872642850 is obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status. The 0872642852 represents the current active equivalent that meets modern regulatory requirements while maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 0872642850 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 0872642852 is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for production quantities of this connector type.
