HARTING 09033962921 DIN 41612 96-Position Backplane Connector Header

Part Overview

The HARTING 09033962921 is a 96-position DIN 41612 connector header designed for backplane applications. This through-hole, right-angle mounted component features male pins with solder termination and board lock functionality. The part is currently active in production with 811 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative contact finishes are required for specific environmental conditions, or when design flexibility permits the use of functionally compatible alternatives from different manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HARTING 09033962921 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 96
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 3
• Style: C
• Connector Type: Header or Plug, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Finish: Unplated or Gold plated
• Contact Finish Thickness: Variable
• Level/Class: 1 or 2
• Features: Board Lock, Mounting Clips, or none
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic or Polyester variants, Glass Filled
• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than specified
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant
• Product Status: Active or Obsolete

Four substitute parts meet these criteria across three manufacturers: Molex, TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, and Vector Electronics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, Full Compliance): TE Connectivity 5650947-5 and 5536405-5 are both active production parts with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. These parts provide the highest availability and long-term supply assurance. The 5650947-5 offers superior inventory depth (7,311 units) compared to 5536405-5 (1,261 units).

Secondary Selection (Active Status, Alternative Geometry): Vector Electronics RE96MSR-125 is an active production header with ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains header-type connector geometry matching the primary part. Note that material flammability rating is not specified for this part.

Tertiary Selection (Obsolete Status): Molex 0850030567 is classified as obsolete and should be selected only when active alternatives are unavailable. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating but presents long-term supply risk.

Connector Type Consideration: TE Connectivity parts 5536405-5 and 5650947-5 are plug-type connectors, whereas the primary part and Vector Electronics RE96MSR-125 are header-type connectors. Plug and header types are mechanically and electrically compatible within the DIN 41612 standard but occupy different positions in mated connector pairs.

Contact Finish Selection: The primary part features unplated contacts. All substitute parts offer gold-plated contacts, which provide enhanced corrosion resistance and are suitable for all applications where the primary part is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0850030567 be used as a direct replacement? A: Molex 0850030567 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. However, its obsolete product status indicates discontinued manufacturing. Use only when active alternatives are unavailable or when existing inventory is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between header and plug connector types in this application? A: Within DIN 41612 standard 96-position configurations, headers and plugs are complementary connector types designed to mate together. Both types are electrically and mechanically compatible. Selection depends on whether the application requires a header (PCB-mounted male pins) or plug (cable-mounted male pins) interface.

Q: Are gold-plated contacts compatible with the unplated primary part? A: Yes. Gold-plated contacts are compatible with unplated contacts in mated pairs. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and is suitable for all operating environments specified for the primary part.

Q: Does the Vector Electronics RE96MSR-125 meet all compliance requirements? A: Vector Electronics RE96MSR-125 is ROHS3 compliant and rated for -55°C to 125°C operation. Material flammability rating is not specified in available documentation. Verify UL94 V-0 compliance with the manufacturer if this certification is required for your application.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability? A: TE Connectivity 5650947-5 is recommended for long-term availability. It is an active production part with the highest inventory level (7,311 units) and established supply chain presence.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs? A: Yes, all substitute parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the primary part within the constraints of connector type (header versus plug). Verify that your application accommodates the specific connector type before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of Level/Class 2 versus Level/Class 1? A: Level/Class designation indicates contact retention and mechanical robustness specifications. Class 2 parts meet higher mechanical standards than Class 1. All substitute parts rated Class 2 exceed the primary part's Class 1 specification and are fully compatible.
