Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0906270761 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Single position (1-position) connector requirement
Through-hole mounting configuration
Male pin contact type with solder termination
Square contact shape
Gold-plated mating contact surface
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
RoHS3 compliance
MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The substitute parts listed below maintain compatibility across these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact length dimensions, stack heights, and post lengths are documented to enable selection based on specific board-to-board or board-to-cable spacing requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0901200761 serves as the primary manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 0906270761 while offering active product status, improved availability (8193 units in stock), and documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 861400011YO8LF provides an alternative from a different manufacturer within the same connector category. This part features equivalent 1-position through-hole configuration with solder termination and gold-plated contacts. It carries RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 rating. The primary difference is the thermoplastic insulation material versus polyester glass-filled insulation in the Molex parts.

Samtec Inc. header spacer connectors (EW and HW series) offer substitution options with variable stack heights and post lengths. These parts maintain gold contact finish, through-hole solder termination, and ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 rating. Selection from this group depends on specific board spacing and mating contact length requirements in the application.

All listed substitutes maintain compliance with REACH regulations and carry EAR99 ECCN classification consistent with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0901200761 directly replace the obsolete 0906270761?

A: Yes. The 0901200761 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute with identical contact dimensions, gold mating finish, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is active product status and documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between the Molex and Samtec header options?

A: Molex 0901200761 and 861400011YO8LF are standard 1-position headers with fixed dimensions. Samtec EW and HW series are header spacer connectors with variable stack heights and post lengths, allowing customization for different board-to-board spacing requirements. Selection depends on whether fixed or adjustable spacing is needed.

Q: Are the Samtec EW-01-09 variants interchangeable?

A: The EW-01-09 variants differ in stack height and post (mating) length. EW-01-09-F-S-200 has 0.200" stack height with 0.200" post length, while EW-01-09-F-S-250 has 0.250" stack height with 0.150" post length. Selection must match the specific board spacing requirement. The "F" and "L" designations indicate different contact finish thicknesses (3.00µin versus 10.0µin).

Q: Do all substitutes meet automotive application requirements?

A: The Molex 0906270761 and 0901200761 are explicitly rated for automotive applications. The Amphenol ICC 861400011YO8LF and Samtec parts do not list automotive applications in the provided specifications. Verify application compatibility with the connector manufacturer for non-automotive-rated parts.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) difference?

A: The Molex parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. Samtec parts are listed as "Not Applicable," indicating they do not require moisture sensitivity precautions. Both classifications are acceptable for standard through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: The Molex 0901200761 and Samtec parts are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC 861400011YO8LF is RoHS compliant. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements. Verify specific RoHS directive applicability for your target market.
