Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1017008-6 is the primary specification for applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components with tin-lead post finish and extended operating temperature range to 125°C. This part maintains active production status with 1045 units in stock.

Molex 0901512210 serves as a substitute for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and reduced environmental sensitivity. The C-Grid III 90151 series provides equivalent mechanical and electrical performance with a narrower operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). This part offers superior inventory availability with 35,454 units in stock and includes specified current rating (3A) and voltage rating (350V) for general purpose, automotive, lighting, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF functions as an alternative for applications requiring RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Dubox™ series provides bottom or top entry connector flexibility with equivalent mechanical specifications. This part supports automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications with 941 units in stock. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification for specific end-use applications.

Selection between substitute parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements (RoHS status), operating temperature specifications, and application-specific certifications. All three parts maintain identical core connector specifications and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within their respective compliance and temperature operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0901512210 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF connectors mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity 1017008-6?

A: Yes. All three connectors share identical core specifications: 10-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and board-to-board style. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all three parts.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: Primary differences include RoHS compliance status, operating temperature range, insulation material composition, and contact finish specifications. The TE Connectivity 1017008-6 operates to 125°C with tin-lead post finish and is RoHS non-compliant. The Molex 0901512210 is ROHS3 compliant with a 105°C maximum operating temperature and tin post finish. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unspecified operating temperature.

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0901512210 in an application originally designed for the TE Connectivity 1017008-6?

A: Substitution is possible if the application operates within the Molex part's temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and does not require tin-lead post finish. The narrower operating temperature range is the primary limiting factor. ROHS3 compliance may be required or beneficial depending on end-use regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The TE Connectivity 1017008-6 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF both specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold mating contact finish, while the Molex 0901512210 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). Thicker finishes provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications. Post contact finish thickness also varies: TE Connectivity specifies 150.0µin (3.81µm) tin-lead, Molex specifies 118.1µin (3.00µm) tin, and Amphenol ICC (FCI) specifies 78.7µin (2.00µm) tin.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: The Molex 0901512210 provides the highest inventory availability with 35,454 units in stock, compared to 1045 units for the TE Connectivity 1017008-6 and 941 units for the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1017008-6 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. The Molex 0901512210 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF is RoHS compliant but REACH affected, requiring compliance verification for specific applications. All three parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the significance of the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF "Bottom or Top Entry" connector type?

A: This designation indicates the connector supports flexible board entry orientation, providing design flexibility not explicitly specified for the other two parts. This feature may be advantageous in space-constrained applications requiring non-standard mounting configurations.

Q: Do all three connectors support the same applications?

A: The Molex 0901512210 explicitly lists applications: Automotive, General Purpose, Lighting, Medical, and Telecommunications. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 89891-305LF lists Automotive, General Purpose, Industrial, and Telecommunications. The TE Connectivity 1017008-6 does not specify applications. Overlap exists in automotive, general purpose, and telecommunications sectors.
