Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0873401022 can be substituted with the 0873401024 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both parts are 10-position receptacles within the same Milli-Grid 87340 series
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Identical 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and 2-row layout ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting & Termination: Both use surface mount with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Matching 1A current rating and 125VAC voltage rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -55°C ~ 105°C specification
• Fastening & Features: Both incorporate push-pull fastening and board guide positioning

The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0873401024 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0873401022. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in existing designs.

The 0873401024 offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 0873401022 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or component replenishment, the 0873401024 is the appropriate selection. The contact finish difference on the post (tin versus tin-lead) does not affect mating interface performance, as the critical mating surface finish remains gold-plated at identical thickness on both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0873401022 and 0873401024 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079"), row configuration (2 rows), position count (10), and mounting type (surface mount). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-level applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 0873401022 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0873401024 is active and ROHS3 compliant. The post contact finish differs (tin-lead versus tin), but this does not affect mating performance.

Q: Can I use the 0873401024 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 0873401024 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0873401022 and functions identically in the same circuit and mechanical configuration.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 0873401024 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 0873401022 packaging specification was not provided.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from 0873401022 to 0873401024?

A: The 0873401024 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, making it suitable for applications with RoHS mandates. The 0873401022 does not meet these requirements.
