Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0876972001 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets
• Position count: 32 positions
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 4 rows
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Termination style: Press-fit
• Contact layout: 24 signal, 8 power
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Housing color: Black
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 105°C

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51752-006LF meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 51752-006LF is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete Molex 0876972001. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 32-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, 4-row layout, through-hole press-fit termination, and identical contact finish specifications.

The 51752-006LF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

The contact finish options on the 51752-006LF (standard gold or gold with GXT™ enhancement) provide flexibility for applications with varying environmental or performance requirements while maintaining the specified 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 51752-006LF be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0876972001?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, contact layout, contact finish thickness, flammability rating, and operating temperature range. The 51752-006LF is an active product, addressing the obsolescence of the 0876972001.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these connectors?

A: Both connectors specify gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 51752-006LF offers an optional GXT™ gold enhancement, which does not alter the base thickness specification and remains compatible with the original design requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The Molex 0876972001 is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured or supported by the original supplier. The Amphenol ICC 51752-006LF maintains active status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new designs and field service applications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain RoHS compliance. Both are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Molex 0876972001 packaging specification is not provided. The Amphenol ICC 51752-006LF is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed against specific procurement and assembly requirements.
