2CH-C-10 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2CH-C-10 is a 10-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Adam Tech. This component serves as the housing for female socket contacts in applications requiring 2.00mm pitch connectivity. The part is actively produced and maintains full inventory availability. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for supply chain continuity, design flexibility, and procurement optimization when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2CH-C-10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Contact Type: Female Socket configuration
• Number of Positions: Exactly 10 positions
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) contact spacing
• Number of Rows: Single row configuration
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock mechanism

The substitute part 0510651000 (Molex Micro-Latch 51065 series) meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution. Both parts are receptacle housings with identical position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected) are equivalent across both parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0510651000 (Molex) connector housing is a direct parametric equivalent to the 2CH-C-10 (Adam Tech) for applications requiring 10-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination and friction lock fastening.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status under ROHS3 regulations and REACH directives. Both carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

The substitute part features an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) compared to the primary part (-25°C ~ 85°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding environments. The insulation material differs (PBT polyester versus PA66 nylon), but both materials are standard for rectangular connector housings in this pitch class and maintain equivalent mechanical and electrical performance within their respective temperature ranges.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and any design-specific material preferences. Both parts are actively produced and carry full inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0510651000 be used as a direct replacement for the Adam Tech 2CH-C-10?

A: Yes. Both parts are 10-position receptacle housings with 2.00mm pitch, crimp termination, and friction lock fastening. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. The 2CH-C-10 uses Polyamide (PA66) nylon, while the 0510651000 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) polyester. Both materials are suitable for rectangular connector housings at this pitch specification and provide equivalent performance within their operating temperature ranges.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The 2CH-C-10 operates from -25°C to 85°C. The 0510651000 operates from -55°C to 105°C. The Molex part provides extended thermal capability and can be used in applications requiring the 2CH-C-10 temperature range without limitation.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) ratings.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 2CH-C-10 and 0510651000 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts use 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions.
