Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0875531411 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Contact material: Brass
• Contact finish: Tin
• Insulation material: Polyamide-based
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Considerations:

• Number of positions and rows
• Shrouding configuration
• Termination method
• Product status (active vs. obsolete)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH)

The substitute parts identified share the core electrical and mechanical interface characteristics with the main part. However, variations exist in specific design parameters such as shrouding style, contact geometry, and fastening mechanisms.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-292161-4 (14-Position Header)

This substitute maintains full positional compatibility with the Molex 0875531411, offering 14 positions at 2.00mm pitch. The part is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry equivalent RoHS compliance certifications. The primary design differences include shrouding configuration (3-wall vs. 4-wall), contact geometry (circular vs. square), and fastening mechanism (detent lock vs. push-pull). These variations do not affect electrical interface compatibility but may require mechanical accommodation in connector receptacles.

TE Connectivity 440054-7 (7-Position Header)

This substitute provides a reduced-position alternative with 7 positions at 2.00mm pitch. It maintains the 4-wall shrouding configuration and square contact geometry of the original part. The component is active in production and meets all relevant compliance standards. This option is suitable for applications requiring fewer connection points while preserving the same pitch and mounting characteristics. The press-fit termination method differs from the kinked pin approach of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 1-292161-4 be used as a direct replacement for Molex 0875531411?

A: Both connectors share the same pitch (2.00mm), position count (14), mounting type (through-hole), and contact material specifications. However, the shrouding style differs (3-wall vs. 4-wall), and contact geometry varies (circular vs. square). Mechanical compatibility with existing receptacles must be verified before substitution.

Q: Why is TE Connectivity 440054-7 listed as a substitute if it has only 7 positions?

A: The 440054-7 is provided as a substitute option for applications that do not require all 14 positions. It maintains the same 2.00mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and core material specifications. This option is suitable for designs that can be adapted to use fewer connection points.

Q: What are the compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All three connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry RoHS compliance certifications. The Molex part is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE Connectivity substitutes are RoHS compliant. All components have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: How do the termination methods differ?

A: The Molex 0875531411 uses kinked pin solder termination. The TE Connectivity 1-292161-4 also uses kinked pin solder termination, providing identical termination compatibility. The TE Connectivity 440054-7 uses press-fit solder termination, which may require different PCB pad design considerations.

Q: Are there any electrical rating differences?

A: The TE Connectivity 440054-7 specifies a current rating of 3A and voltage rating of 250V with an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. The Molex 0875531411 and TE Connectivity 1-292161-4 do not provide explicit electrical ratings in the available specifications. Applications requiring specific electrical performance parameters should verify compatibility with the 440054-7 ratings if that part is selected.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The Molex 0875531411 is classified as obsolete, meaning it is no longer in active production. Both TE Connectivity substitutes are active products with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring continued availability for future procurement and design iterations.
