Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0876642001 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 33-position connector receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• 4-row arrangement
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Solder termination
• 24 signal and 9 power contact layout
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Operating temperature range of -20°C to 105°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 6450170-8 meets all these critical parameters, making it a direct functional equivalent despite differences in connector style (Multi-Beam vs. standard blade sockets) and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6450170-8 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete Molex 0876642001. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The TE Connectivity part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and identical export classification (EAR99), supporting regulatory requirements. The Multi-Beam connector style of the TE Connectivity part provides enhanced contact reliability through its design approach while maintaining full compatibility with the original 33-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and solder termination requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6450170-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0876642001?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (33), pitch spacing (0.100"), row configuration (4), mounting style (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), contact layout (24 signal, 9 power), contact finish specifications, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The Multi-Beam contact design of the TE part does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Molex 0876642001 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 6450170-8 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability, making it suitable for applications requiring ongoing component supply.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The TE part lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined, while the Molex part is REACH Unaffected. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: Does the connector style difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The Multi-Beam connector style of the TE Connectivity part is a design variation that does not alter the electrical or mechanical interface. The 33-position, 0.100" pitch, 4-row configuration remains identical, ensuring full compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for the original Molex part.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity 6450170-8 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1059 pieces available in new original stock.
