Molex 5024308010 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 5024308010 is an 80-position rectangular connector plug with outer shroud contacts, designed for surface mount applications. This component features gold-plated contacts with solder retention and operates at a 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch across 2 rows. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Active substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current availability and production support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 5024308010 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain:

• Identical connector type (Plug, Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Identical position count (80 positions)
• Identical pitch specification (0.016" / 0.40mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Identical contact material and finish (Gold, 4.00µin thickness)
• Identical physical dimensions (1mm mated stacking height, 0.031" height above board)
• Identical feature set (Solder Retention)
• Compliance with ROHS3 and MSL 1 requirements

The Molex 5024308012 satisfies all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the SlimStack 502430 series, with the primary distinction being packaging format and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 5024308012 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 5024308010. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the SlimStack 502430 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5024308012 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (850 pcs), whereas the 5024308010 is obsolete with limited remaining stock (1105 pcs).

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions. The packaging difference (Tape & Reel for 5024308012 versus bulk for 5024308010) reflects standard industry practice for active production parts and does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics.

For new designs or production transitions, the 5024308012 is the appropriate selection due to active manufacturer support and sustained availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5024308010 and 5024308012 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specification, including contact count (80 positions), pitch (0.016" / 0.40mm), contact material (gold, 4.00µin thickness), and connector type (Plug, Outer Shroud Contacts).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The 5024308010 is obsolete and supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5024308012 is active production and supplied in Tape & Reel format. All functional and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5024308012 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5024308012 maintains identical physical dimensions (1mm mated stacking height, 0.031" height above board), mounting type (Surface Mount), and all electrical characteristics, enabling direct substitution in existing PCB designs and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5024308010 and 5024308012 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Why would I choose the 5024308012 over the 5024308010?

A: The 5024308012 is the recommended choice for new production due to active manufacturer status, sustained availability, and standard Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes. The 5024308010, being obsolete, has limited remaining inventory and no ongoing production support.
