Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0877593050 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0872673050 based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters that define connector compatibility and interchangeability.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters match or are compatible:

• Connector type and contact type (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (30 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.079" / 2.00mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact dimensions and mating length (0.150" / 3.81mm)
• Insulation height (0.059" / 1.50mm)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze, Gold mating finish)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The 0877593050 maintains these critical parameters while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0877593050 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 0872673050. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating pitch, contact configuration, mounting type, and termination method, ensuring direct functional compatibility.

The 0877593050 offers significant advantages in terms of product lifecycle and regulatory compliance. As an active product, it provides assured long-term availability and supply chain stability. The ROHS3 compliance status of the 0877593050 aligns with current regulatory requirements, whereas the 0872673050 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is critical for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Both connectors maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1) and flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), ensuring equivalent performance in thermal and environmental conditions. The insulation material differs between polyamide/nylon and thermoplastic, but both materials meet the same flammability standard and are suitable for the specified applications in automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0872673050 and 0877593050 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row spacing, contact length, insulation height, and mounting type. They are mechanically interchangeable in board-level applications.

Q: What is the difference between "Board to Cable/Wire" and "Board to Board or Cable" style designations?

A: The 0872673050 is specified for board-to-cable/wire connections, while the 0877593050 supports both board-to-board and cable connections. The 0877593050 offers broader application flexibility while maintaining compatibility with the original part's intended use.

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect performance?

A: Both insulation materials (polyamide/nylon and thermoplastic) meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are rated for the same moisture sensitivity level. Material selection does not impact electrical or thermal performance for the specified applications.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this substitution?

A: RoHS3 compliance of the 0877593050 ensures conformance with current environmental regulations restricting hazardous substances. For new designs or systems subject to regulatory requirements, the compliant substitute is necessary. For legacy systems, the non-compliant original part may remain acceptable depending on application context.

Q: Is the breakaway feature of the 0877593050 a compatibility concern?

A: No. The breakaway feature is an additional capability that does not affect compatibility with mating connectors or circuit board layouts designed for the original 0872673050. It provides design flexibility without introducing incompatibility.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these connectors?

A: The 0877593050 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 0872673050 packaging is unspecified. Tube packaging is standard for surface mount connectors and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Verify packaging requirements based on assembly process specifications.
