Molex 0873691000 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0873691000 is a 10-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with a 2.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications using crimp termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The housing accommodates female socket contacts and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0873691000 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), pitch (2.00mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Manufacturer Recommended Substitutes maintain full compatibility with the original part specifications and are sourced from established connector manufacturers with active product status.

Parametric Equivalents share the same core electrical and mechanical parameters but may differ in color, insulation material, operating temperature range, or fastening mechanism. These parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified parameter constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Molex 0510651000

The Molex 0510651000 is the manufacturer-recommended direct substitute. It maintains the same pitch, position count, and mounting configuration as the original part while offering active product status and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). This part is available in high inventory (51,708 units) and carries ROHS3 compliance with friction lock fastening for enhanced mechanical retention.

Secondary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 1-440129-0

The TE Connectivity 1-440129-0 provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer with active product status. It shares the core electrical and mechanical specifications with the original part. Operating temperature range is -25°C to 85°C, which is suitable for standard industrial applications. Inventory availability is substantial (32,076 units).

Alternative Options: Hirose DF3-10S-2C and Sullins SWH201-NULN-S10-UU-WH

Both parts maintain the required 10-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration and are actively manufactured. The Hirose part offers extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) with polyamide insulation. The Sullins part provides polyamide construction with standard industrial temperature range (-25°C to 85°C). Color variations (black and white respectively) may require design consideration.

TE Connectivity HPI Series (1-1470199-0 and 1-1470201-0)

These parts are functionally equivalent with active product status but lack specified operating temperature data. The 1-1470201-0 matches the natural color of the original part, while the 1-1470199-0 is available in white.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the Molex 0510651000 as a direct replacement for the 0873691000?

A: Yes. The 0510651000 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 10 positions, 2.00mm pitch, receptacle type with female socket contacts, free-hanging in-line mounting, and crimp termination. It is the manufacturer-recommended substitute with active product status.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Molex 0510651000 and TE Connectivity 1-440129-0?

A: Both parts share the same core connector specifications. The Molex part offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) compared to the TE part (-25°C to 85°C). The Molex part includes friction lock fastening, while the TE part does not specify a fastening mechanism. Inventory availability differs, with Molex offering higher stock levels.

Q: Are color variations significant for substitution?

A: Color is a parametric difference that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The original part is natural colored. Substitutes are available in natural (Molex 0510651000, TE 1-1470201-0), white (TE 1-1470199-0, Sullins SWH201-NULN-S10-UU-WH), and black (Hirose DF3-10S-2C). Color selection depends on design and assembly requirements.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: The housing is supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to the connector series specifications. This is standard for modular connector systems.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Both the Molex 0510651000 and Hirose DF3-10S-2C support -55°C to 105°C operating temperature, providing the widest range among listed substitutes.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitutes carry RoHS compliance. The original part and most substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. TE Connectivity parts 1-1470199-0 and 1-1470201-0 carry RoHS compliance designation.
