Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0872644650 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (46)
• Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.079" spacing)
• Mounting style (Through hole, right angle)
• Contact type (Female socket)
• Electrical ratings (1A, 125VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)

The Molex 0872644652 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Milli-Grid 87264 series, with identical mechanical and electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0872644652 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0872644650. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically identical within the Milli-Grid 87264 series.

The primary distinction is product status: the 0872644650 is obsolete with limited availability, while the 0872644652 is active and currently in production. The 0872644652 offers improved compliance status, meeting ROHS3 requirements compared to the non-compliant 0872644650.

A secondary difference exists in post contact finish: the 0872644650 uses tin-lead plating, while the 0872644652 uses tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance at the specified current and voltage ratings.

Selection of the 0872644652 is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and component replacement applications requiring an active, compliant alternative.
