Amphenol ICC 78280-030 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 78280-030 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 30-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch provides board-to-cable/wire connectivity with shrouded 4-wall construction and push-pull fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 78280-030 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 30 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening
• Mounting Method: Through-hole termination
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification

The substitute parts Molex 0702463001 and 0702463002 meet all these critical parameters. Both are active products from the C-Grid 70246 series, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete Amphenol ICC part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Molex substitute parts provide functional equivalence to the obsolete Amphenol ICC 78280-030 across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary distinction between the two Molex options is packaging format and contact finish thickness specification.

Molex 0702463001 is supplied in tray packaging with 15.0µin (0.38µm) mating contact finish thickness.

Molex 0702463002 is supplied in bulk packaging with 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish thickness, matching the original part's contact finish thickness specification.

Both Molex parts carry ROHS3 compliance status, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant original part. Selection between the two should be based on packaging requirements and contact finish thickness specifications for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0702463001 and 0702463002 be used interchangeably with the Amphenol ICC 78280-030?

A: Both Molex parts meet the critical substitution parameters: 30-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, shrouded 4-wall construction, through-hole mounting, and push-pull fastening. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established across these parameters.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0702463001 and 0702463002?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tray versus bulk) and mating contact finish thickness (15.0µin versus 30.0µin). Both parts are from the same C-Grid 70246 series and share identical mechanical specifications and connector geometry.

Q: Why is the original Amphenol ICC 78280-030 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The Molex C-Grid 70246 series parts provide active, supported alternatives with equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original Amphenol ICC 78280-030 is RoHS non-compliant, while both Molex substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What insulation material differences exist?

A: The original part uses polyester glass-filled insulation, while the Molex substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements and provide equivalent performance in standard applications.
