Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0875682691 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (26)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
• Contact finish specification (Gold at 15.0µin thickness)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Feature set (Feed Through, Polarizing Key)
• Series compatibility (Milli-Grid 87568)

The substitute part identified maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional equivalence for ribbon cable interconnect applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0875682693 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0875682691. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

The 0875682693 is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new procurement and system support. Additionally, the substitute part achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 0875682693 provides the necessary regulatory alignment while maintaining complete functional equivalence.

Both parts share identical REACH and ECCN classifications, confirming compatibility across export and supply chain considerations.
