Molex 0873400622 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0873400622 is a 6-position receptacle connector from the Milli-Grid 87340 series, designed for surface mount applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, push-pull fastening, and board guide positioning. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible alternatives essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0873400622 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Position count (6 positions)
Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
Row configuration (2 rows with 0.079" spacing)
Mounting method (Surface Mount)
Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
Mating contact finish (Gold plating)
Electrical ratings (1A current, 125VAC voltage)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)

The Molex 0873400624 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. Substitution is valid where mechanical fit, electrical performance, and environmental specifications are identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0873400624 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0873400622. Both parts are functionally identical across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

The 0873400622 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, whereas the 0873400624 is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or system refreshes, the 0873400624 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part specification must be preserved, the 0873400624 provides equivalent performance with improved regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0873400624 be used as a direct replacement for the 0873400622?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, fastening mechanism, and electrical ratings. Mechanical fit and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (0873400622 is obsolete; 0873400624 is active) and regulatory compliance (0873400622 is RoHS non-compliant; 0873400624 is ROHS3 compliant). The post contact finish differs slightly (Tin-Lead versus Tin), though both maintain identical thickness specifications.

Q: Is packaging different between these parts?

A: The 0873400622 packaging is not specified. The 0873400624 is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry a 1A current rating and 125VAC voltage rating with identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C).

Q: Which part should be selected for new applications?

A: The 0873400624 should be selected for new applications due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance.
