Molex 0877597626 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0877597626 is a surface mount rectangular connector header in the Milli-Grid 87759 series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This 8-position, 2-row connector operates at 2.00mm pitch with unshrouded, breakaway configuration and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 939 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0877597626 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header)
• Contact configuration (Male Pin, 8 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish material (Gold plating on mating surface)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The substitute part Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0877597626 and Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF are active production components with equivalent regulatory compliance. The Molex part carries ROHS3 certification, while the Amphenol ICC substitute maintains RoHS compliance. Both connectors achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, meeting identical environmental and handling requirements.

The Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF provides specified electrical ratings (2A at AC/DC, 200V AC/DC) and increased gold plating thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), which may offer enhanced contact durability in high-cycle mating applications. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with 1885 units in stock, compared to 939 units of the Molex original in tape and reel packaging.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for electrical performance, packaging format, and supply chain availability. Both connectors are suitable for automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications applications where 2.00mm pitch, 8-position, surface mount header configurations are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF a valid substitute for the Molex 0877597626?

A: Both connectors share identical critical parameters: 8-position, 2-row configuration at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and row spacing, surface mount solder termination, push-pull fastening, gold-plated male pin contacts, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity. These aligned specifications ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility in equivalent applications.

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

A: Yes. The Molex 0877597626 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified applications. The Amphenol ICC part features thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), which may provide improved contact longevity in high-cycle mating scenarios.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The Molex 0877597626 is supplied in tape and reel (TR) format with 939 units in stock. The Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF is supplied in bulk packaging with 1885 units available. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and production volume.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both connectors achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The Molex part carries ROHS3 certification, while the Amphenol ICC substitute maintains RoHS compliance. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: Are electrical ratings specified for both connectors?

A: The Molex 0877597626 does not specify current or voltage ratings in the provided data. The Amphenol ICC 57202-G52-04LF is rated for 2A (AC/DC) and 200V (AC/DC). Application requirements should be verified against these specifications when electrical performance is critical.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid where pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method are the primary design constraints. Verify that application-specific requirements for contact material, plating thickness, and electrical ratings are satisfied by the substitute part before implementation.
