Molex 0875681071 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0875681071 is a 10-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination on 28 AWG ribbon cable. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts with a 2.00mm pitch configuration and is mounted as a free-hanging in-line component with locking ramp fastening.

The 0875681071 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for applications requiring this connector type.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0875681071 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Position count (10 positions)
Pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
Cable termination method (IDC)
Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
Contact finish (Gold)
Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the Molex 0875681073 (direct manufacturer variant) and the TE Connectivity 111623-1 (cross-manufacturer equivalent). Both maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0875681073 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 0875681071. Both components belong to the same Milli-Grid 87568 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0875681073 is currently in active production status and carries ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

TE Connectivity 111623-1 serves as a cross-manufacturer equivalent. It maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The addition of a polarizing key feature provides enhanced mating security. This option is suitable when Molex supply is constrained or when design flexibility permits cross-manufacturer sourcing. The 111623-1 operates under the AMP-Latch series designation and carries an active product status.

Selection between the two substitutes should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and any design-specific requirements regarding polarizing features or compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0875681073 directly replace the 0875681071 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are from the same Milli-Grid 87568 series and share identical pitch, position count, row spacing, contact type, and IDC termination specifications. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 0875681071 and 0875681073?

A: The 0875681073 is the active production variant of the same connector design. The original 0875681071 is obsolete. The 0875681073 also carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 0875681071 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 111623-1 mechanically compatible with mating plugs designed for the Molex connector?

A: The 111623-1 maintains the same pitch (2.00mm), position count (10), and row spacing as the Molex connectors. However, it includes a polarizing key feature not present on the Molex variants. Mating compatibility depends on whether the corresponding plug connector accommodates this polarizing key.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The Molex 0875681071 is supplied in standard packaging. The Molex 0875681073 is available in Tray packaging. The TE Connectivity 111623-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these three connectors?

A: The Molex 0875681073 is ROHS3 compliant, while the original 0875681071 is RoHS non-compliant. The TE Connectivity 111623-1 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. All three connectors share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4051) classifications. Compliance requirements for your application should guide selection.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference between the substitutes?

A: The Molex connectors (0875681071 and 0875681073) feature 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. The TE Connectivity 111623-1 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness, offering enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications.
