Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0876151001 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: The substitute must maintain 35 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Connector Configuration: The substitute must be a header with male pins and blades, board edge mounted, through-hole solder termination, and right-angle orientation to match the original form factor and installation method.

Contact Layout: The substitute must preserve the 24 signal and 11 power contact distribution to maintain circuit functionality and power delivery characteristics.

Physical & Electrical Specifications: The substitute must match the 4-row configuration, black color, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 rating to ensure mechanical fit and environmental performance.

Compliance & Certifications: The substitute must maintain RoHS compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification for regulatory and export control alignment.

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51624-XX001LF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51624-XX001LF is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0876151001. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, contact layout, and mounting methodology, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute meets RoHS compliance requirements equivalent to the original part's ROHS3 status.

Product Availability: The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part is active in production with documented inventory, providing supply chain continuity for systems currently using the obsolete Molex connector.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The substitute supports an extended operating temperature range of -20°C to 105°C, compared to the original -20°C to 70°C specification. This expanded range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51624-XX001LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0876151001?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical position count (35), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (4), contact layout (24 signal, 11 power), mounting type (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder). Physical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish options on the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51624-XX001LF is available with either standard gold or gold with GXT™ finish. Both options maintain the specified 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Selection depends on application-specific corrosion resistance requirements.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute's -20°C to 105°C operating range encompasses the original part's -20°C to 70°C specification. The expanded range provides additional thermal capability without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The original Molex part packaging is not specified in the technical data. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) substitute is supplied in tray packaging. Verify tray packaging compatibility with your assembly and handling processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both connectors?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated, MSL 1 classified, and EAR99 designated. The substitute meets RoHS compliance requirements. Both parts are unaffected or affected by REACH regulations as specified in their respective documentation.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences that affect circuit design?

A: The original part specifies a 50V voltage rating. The substitute does not specify a voltage rating in the provided technical data. Consult the substitute part's detailed datasheet to confirm voltage rating compatibility with your application.
