Molex 0875683091 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0875683091 is a 30-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 28 AWG ribbon cable. This connector features gold-plated female socket contacts, a locking ramp fastening mechanism, and polarizing key features for secure mating.

The 0875683091 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or field replacement requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0875683091 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm)
• Features (Feed Through, Polarizing Key)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)

The substitute part identified maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility within the same application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0875683093 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0875683091. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The 0875683091 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0875683093 is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring RoHS compliance, the 0875683093 is the appropriate selection. The 0875683093 is available in Tray packaging with significantly higher inventory availability (5978 units versus 710 units for the obsolete part).

Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and contact specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications designed for the Milli-Grid 87568 series 30-position IDC receptacle connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0875683093 directly replace the 0875683091 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0875683093 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, cable termination method, wire gauge compatibility, contact finish, and fastening mechanism. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 0875683091 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0875683093 is active and ROHS3 compliant. Functionally, both parts are equivalent. The 0875683093 also offers superior supply chain availability and is packaged in Tray format.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 0875683091 packaging is not specified, while the 0875683093 is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row spacing, IDC termination method, 28 AWG wire gauge compatibility, gold contact finish with 15.0µin thickness, feed-through and polarizing key features, free-hanging in-line mounting, and locking ramp fastening.

Q: Is the 0875683093 suitable for new production designs?

A: Yes. The 0875683093 is active, ROHS3 compliant, and maintains full functional equivalence to the obsolete 0875683091. It is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance.
