Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0876642004 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets
• Number of Positions: 31 positions
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 4 rows
• Mounting Type: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Termination Method: Solder
• Contact Layout: 24 signal positions, 7 power positions
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Color: Black
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 105°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51915-051LF meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution. This part maintains identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting orientation, and contact specifications while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51915-051LF is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0876642004. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Parameter Equivalence: The 51915-051LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical dimensions, including 31-position count, 0.100" pitch, 4-row configuration, board-edge right-angle mounting, and solder termination.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 105°C. The 51915-051LF carries active RoHS compliance status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current production environments.

Contact Specifications: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness is maintained on the 51915-051LF, with the option of enhanced GXT™ gold finish for applications requiring extended contact durability.

Product Availability: The transition from obsolete to active product status provides supply chain continuity and eliminates long-lead-time constraints associated with legacy component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 51915-051LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0876642004?

A: Yes. The 51915-051LF meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution, including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and contact specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and product status. The 51915-051LF is manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintains active product status, whereas the 0876642004 is obsolete. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across -20°C to 105°C. The 51915-051LF carries active RoHS compliance, while the 0876642004 is ROHS3 compliant. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol ICC 51915-051LF is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and high-volume production environments.

Q: Does the contact finish differ between the two parts?

A: Both parts feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 51915-051LF offers an optional enhanced GXT™ gold finish for applications requiring superior contact durability.

Q: Are there any PCB layout or footprint considerations when switching to the substitute?

A: No. The identical pitch (0.100"), row count (4), position count (31), and right-angle board-edge mounting configuration ensure PCB footprint compatibility without design modification.
