Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0877608014 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with Male Pin contacts
• Position Configuration: 14 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-Pull fastening type
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape
• Compliance & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part Amphenol ICC (FCI) 58102-G61-07LF meets all these critical parameters, enabling direct functional equivalence in applications requiring identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0877608014 and Amphenol ICC 58102-G61-07LF are active products with equivalent functional specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: The Amphenol ICC 58102-G61-07LF offers higher inventory availability (2476 pcs vs. 633 pcs), supporting procurement continuity.
• Compliance Status: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, while the Amphenol part carries RoHS compliance.
• Packaging Format: The Molex part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the Amphenol part is supplied in Bulk format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.
• Contact Post Length Variation: The Amphenol part features a longer contact post (0.098" vs. 0.073"), which may affect PCB stack-up considerations in space-constrained designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 58102-G61-07LF directly replace the Molex 0877608014 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (2.00mm), row spacing (2.00mm), position count (14 in 2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and contact geometry (square male pins). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length difference?

A: The Amphenol part has a contact post length of 0.098" (2.50mm) compared to the Molex part's 0.073" (1.85mm). This 0.025" difference affects the overall connector height and PCB stack-up. Designs with tight vertical clearance constraints should account for this variation during layout planning.

Q: Are there differences in insulation height between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex part has an insulation height of 0.169" (4.30mm), while the Amphenol part measures 0.165" (4.20mm). This 0.004" difference is minimal and typically does not impact mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 and RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 refers to compliance with the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which includes additional restricted substances beyond the original RoHS standard. Both designations indicate hazardous substance restriction compliance; ROHS3 represents a more current regulatory alignment.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) and Bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is driven by assembly process requirements, automation compatibility, and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive and telecommunications applications?

A: The Molex 0877608014 is specified for automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications applications. The Amphenol ICC 58102-G61-07LF does not list specific applications in the provided data. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific design requirements and environmental conditions.
