Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0877583017 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 30 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating
• Environmental Classification: MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

The substitute part Amphenol ICC (FCI) 57102-G06-15LF meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and termination approach. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 classification, ensuring functional and environmental equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0877583017 and Amphenol ICC 57102-G06-15LF are active products with current manufacturing support. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Compliance & Certification: Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 classification. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol ICC part carries standard RoHS compliance. Both are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS coding.

Mechanical Compatibility: Contact length variations exist between the two parts. The Molex 0877583017 features a post length of 0.102" (2.60mm) with overall contact length of 0.319" (8.10mm), while the Amphenol ICC 57102-G06-15LF provides a post length of 0.098" (2.50mm) with overall contact length of 0.315" (8.00mm). These dimensional differences of 0.004" (0.10mm) in post length and 0.004" (0.10mm) in overall contact length must be evaluated against PCB design specifications and mating connector tolerances.

Material Composition: The Molex part uses phosphor bronze contacts with polyamide insulation, while the Amphenol ICC part uses copper alloy contacts with thermoplastic insulation. Both configurations provide equivalent electrical performance for the specified applications.

Electrical Ratings: The Amphenol ICC part provides explicit current and voltage ratings (2A AC/DC, 200V AC/DC), while the Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data.

Inventory & Packaging: The Molex part is available in tray packaging with 696 units in stock. The Amphenol ICC part is available in bulk packaging with 1462 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 57102-G06-15LF directly replace the Molex 0877583017 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the 0.004" (0.10mm) difference in contact post length and overall contact length does not conflict with PCB hole depth specifications or mating connector tolerances. The identical mating pitch, row spacing, position count, and fastening mechanism ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level. PCB design verification is required to confirm accommodation of the dimensional variance.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: 30-position, 2-row configuration; 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing; through-hole solder termination; push-pull fastening; male pin contacts; gold-plated mating surface; UL94 V-0 flammability compliance; and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. Deviation from any of these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution consideration.

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

A: Yes. The Molex 0877583017 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the Amphenol ICC 57102-G06-15LF uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the specified applications. Contact finish specifications (gold mating surface, tin post finish) are identical between both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The Molex part is supplied in tray packaging, while the Amphenol ICC part is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes but does not impact connector functionality or performance.

Q: Do both connectors meet automotive and telecommunications standards?

A: Both connectors are rated for automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications applications. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 classification, meeting environmental and reliability requirements for these sectors. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol ICC part carries standard RoHS compliance.

Q: What electrical performance specifications should be considered?

A: The Amphenol ICC part provides explicit electrical ratings of 2A (AC/DC) current and 200V (AC/DC) voltage. The Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data. Application requirements should be evaluated against the Amphenol ICC ratings to confirm suitability.
