Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0878580004 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical and mechanical compatibility requires matching pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (4), row configuration (1 row), contact type (male pin), mounting orientation (surface mount right angle), and termination method (solder). The fastening type (push-pull) and contact shape (square) must remain consistent. Environmental compliance including RoHS status, flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and MSL rating (1) are mandatory for equivalent substitution.

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10112684-G03-04ULF meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, mounting type, termination, fastening mechanism, contact shape, flammability rating, and MSL classification. Both are RoHS compliant and rated UL94 V-0. Differences in insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic), contact finish specifications, and operating temperature range do not prevent functional substitution when application requirements align with the provided electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0878580004 and Amphenol ICC 10112684-G03-04ULF are Active products with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements and supply availability. The Molex part features LCP insulation material, while the Amphenol ICC part uses Thermoplastic insulation. The Amphenol ICC part provides specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and current/voltage ratings (2A AC/DC, 200V AC/DC), whereas the Molex part does not include these specifications in the provided data. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters critical for board-level integration. Packaging format differs (Tray vs. Tube), which may influence procurement and assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 10112684-G03-04ULF directly replace the Molex 0878580004 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the mechanical interface (4-position, 2.00mm pitch, surface mount right angle, solder termination) and electrical characteristics are the primary requirements. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, mounting orientation, and fastening mechanism. Verify that application operating conditions and insulation material compatibility align with your design requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic), contact finish specifications, and packaging format (Tray vs. Tube). The Amphenol ICC part includes specified operating temperature range and current/voltage ratings. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0878580004 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the Amphenol ICC 10112684-G03-04ULF is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture absorption concerns. This simplifies storage and handling requirements compared to higher MSL-rated components.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tray vs. Tube) affects procurement, storage, and assembly logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should align with your manufacturing and supply chain processes.
