Molex 0872674850 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0872674850 is a surface mount rectangular connector header featuring 48 positions arranged in 2 rows with 2.00mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The connector is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with push-pull fastening and unshrouded construction, commonly used in automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0872674850 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or be compatible:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with Male Pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 48 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface Mount (SMD)
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-Pull fastening
• Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surface
• Shrouding: Unshrouded design
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0 rating

The two substitute parts identified—Molex 0877594850 and Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF—satisfy these core electrical and mechanical requirements while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0877594850 is the primary direct substitute within the Molex product family. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The transition from Polyamide to Thermoplastic insulation material represents a material upgrade. The breakaway connector feature provides additional design flexibility for applications requiring modular assembly.

Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative from the Minitek® 2.00mm series. This part meets all core substitution criteria with RoHS compliance and documented electrical ratings (2A at 200V AC/DC). The contact length for mating is 0.157" (4.00mm) compared to 0.150" (3.81mm) in the original part, representing a 0.007" (0.19mm) difference that must be evaluated for mechanical clearance in the application. The copper alloy contact material differs from the phosphor bronze specification of the original part.

For new designs, either substitute part is suitable based on product status and compliance requirements. For existing applications requiring exact mechanical compatibility, the Molex 0877594850 is the preferred choice due to identical contact length and insulation height specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0877594850 be used as a direct replacement for the 0872674850?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (48 in 2 rows), contact length for mating (0.150"), insulation height (0.059"), mounting type (surface mount), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The 0877594850 is the recommended substitute with active product status and improved compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact length difference between the Molex and Amphenol parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF has a mating contact length of 0.157" (4.00mm) versus 0.150" (3.81mm) for both Molex parts. This 0.007" difference affects mating depth and must be evaluated against the connector receptacle specifications and PCB layout constraints in the target application.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original Molex 0872674850 is RoHS non-compliant. The Molex 0877594850 is ROHS3 compliant, and the Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF is RoHS compliant. Both substitutes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, either substitute is acceptable.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex series designations?

A: The original part belongs to the Milli-Grid 87267 series, while the substitute Molex 0877594850 belongs to the Milli-Grid 87759 series. Both are Molex rectangular connector families with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 48-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration.

Q: Does the Amphenol part have electrical ratings specified?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF is rated for 2A (AC/DC) at 200V (AC/DC). The original Molex parts do not have electrical ratings specified in the available documentation.

Q: What packaging options are available for these parts?

A: The original Molex 0872674850 packaging is not specified. The Molex 0877594850 is supplied in Tube packaging, and the Amphenol ICC 57202-F52-24LF is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement and handling procedures.
