Molex 0901220767 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0901220767 is an active-status rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch serves general purpose and automotive applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate qualified alternatives meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0901220767 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector positioning and pitch: 14 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation for board-to-board or cable connection
• Contact system: Male pin contacts with square geometry
• Termination method: Solder termination
• Electrical compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS/REACH compliance status

The 3M 929667-02-07-I meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish composition, and operating temperature specifications do not preclude substitution when the primary part is unavailable, provided the application does not impose specific requirements for these secondary parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0901220767 and 3M 929667-02-07-I are active-status products with equivalent compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS, REACH). Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: The 3M 929667-02-07-I currently maintains higher stock levels (1415 pcs vs. 969 pcs).
• Compliance requirements: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory and flammability standards.
• Application-specific constraints: If the design specifies operating temperature range, contact material composition, or contact length tolerances, these secondary parameters must be evaluated against application requirements before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 929667-02-07-I be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0901220767?

A: Yes, for applications where the core connector specifications (14 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination) are the primary design requirements. Both parts share identical pitch, position count, mounting orientation, and compliance ratings.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The parts differ in contact material (Brass vs. Copper Alloy), insulation material composition (Polyester vs. PBT/Polyester blend), contact length dimensions, and operating temperature specification. The 3M part specifies -40°C to 105°C operating range and 2.5A current rating, while the Molex part does not provide these specifications in the available data.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: Both connectors use identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and right-angle through-hole mounting. Mechanical compatibility is established. Variations in insulation height (0.242" vs. 0.215") and contact post length (0.114" vs. 0.405") may affect PCB layout spacing; verify these dimensions against your board design.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive application requirements?

A: The Molex 0901220767 explicitly lists automotive applications. The 3M 929667-02-07-I does not specify applications in the provided data. Confirm application suitability with the 3M part datasheet if automotive qualification is required.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish specifications?

A: Both parts use gold-plated mating contacts. The Molex part uses tin-plated posts (118.1µin thickness), while the 3M part uses gold-plated posts (10.0µin thickness). Both finishes are suitable for solder termination; the difference reflects manufacturing process variation rather than functional incompatibility.
