Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0901210762 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All substitute parts maintain the following core compatibility criteria:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Variable Parameters Defining Substitute Groups:

Substitute parts are differentiated by contact post length and contact material composition. Sullins Connector Solutions manufactures all qualified substitutes under two material families:

1. PBC02 Series (Phosphor Bronze contact material with gold-plated mating finish)

   • PBC02SBAN: 0.100" post length
   • PBC02SBBN: 0.200" post length
   • PBC02SBCN: 0.300" post length
   • PBC02SBEN: 0.500" post length
   • PBC02SGBN: 0.318" mating contact length with 0.200" post length

2. PEC02 Series (Phosphor Bronze contact material with tin-plated mating finish)

   • PEC02SBAN: 0.100" post length
   • PEC02SBBN: 0.200" post length
   • PEC02SBCN: 0.300" post length
   • PEC02SBDN: 0.400" post length
   • PEC02SGBN: 0.318" mating contact length with 0.200" post length

All substitute parts operate within -65°C to 125°C temperature range with 3A current rating and maintain identical pitch, position count, mounting orientation, and termination method as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between the Molex 0901210762 and Sullins alternatives depends on application-specific requirements for contact post length and mating contact finish.

For applications requiring gold-plated mating contacts: Select from the PBC02 series (PBC02SBAN, PBC02SBBN, PBC02SBCN, PBC02SBEN, PBC02SGBN). These parts maintain gold mating contact finish identical to the primary Molex part while offering variable post lengths from 0.100" to 0.500".

For applications where tin-plated mating contacts are acceptable: Select from the PEC02 series (PEC02SBAN, PEC02SBBN, PEC02SBCN, PEC02SBDN, PEC02SGBN). These parts provide tin mating contact finish with post length options from 0.100" to 0.400".

For extended mating contact length applications: PBC02SGBN and PEC02SGBN offer 0.318" mating contact length compared to standard 0.230" length in other substitutes.

All substitute parts operate within -65°C to 125°C temperature range with 3A current rating, supporting general-purpose and automotive applications. Contact material composition differs between primary and substitute parts (brass versus phosphor bronze), with all alternatives maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability rating and square contact geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Sullins PBC02 and PEC02 series connectors directly replace the Molex 0901210762 in existing designs?

A: Yes, all listed Sullins parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (2), row configuration (1), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through these core parameters. Selection between PBC02 and PEC02 series depends on mating contact finish requirements (gold versus tin).

Q: What is the primary difference between PBC02 and PEC02 series substitutes?

A: The PBC02 series features gold-plated mating contacts, matching the Molex 0901210762 mating finish. The PEC02 series features tin-plated mating contacts. Both series use phosphor bronze contact material and tin-plated posts. Contact post length varies within each series to accommodate different PCB thicknesses and application requirements.

Q: How do contact post lengths affect part selection?

A: Contact post length determines the effective engagement depth into the mating connector. The Molex 0901210762 provides 0.114" post length. Sullins substitutes offer post lengths of 0.100", 0.200", 0.300", 0.400", and 0.500" across the product range. Selection should match PCB thickness and mating connector depth requirements. Shorter posts (0.100") suit thin PCBs, while longer posts (0.400"-0.500") accommodate thicker boards or deeper mating connectors.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes, all listed Sullins substitute parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory compliance of the primary Molex part.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All Sullins substitute parts operate within -65°C to 125°C temperature range. The Molex 0901210762 does not specify operating temperature in available documentation.

Q: Do substitute parts support the same current rating?

A: All Sullins substitute parts are rated for 3A current. The Molex 0901210762 does not specify current rating in available documentation.

Q: What inventory levels are available for substitute parts?

A: Current inventory for Sullins substitutes ranges from 955 to 3,935 units. PBC02SBAN and PEC02SBAN offer the highest availability at 3,935 and 3,810 units respectively, closely matching the Molex primary part inventory of 3,786 units.

Q: Can mating contact finish (gold versus tin) affect connector performance?

A: Mating contact finish affects corrosion resistance and contact resistance characteristics. Gold-plated contacts (PBC02 series) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, suitable for high-reliability applications. Tin-plated contacts (PEC02 series) are suitable for general-purpose applications with adequate environmental protection. Selection should align with application environment and reliability requirements.

Q: What insulation material differences exist between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The Molex 0901210762 uses polyester glass-filled insulation. All Sullins substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and black insulation color. PBT offers superior dimensional stability and chemical resistance compared to polyester.
