Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 79425-210H is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Pitch and Position Count: Mating pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm) with 10 positions in 2 rows
• Connector Orientation: Vertical header configuration for through-hole mounting
• Contact Configuration: Male pin contacts with square shape
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 5A and voltage rating of 110V
• Mechanical Compatibility: Board-to-board style with unshrouded design
• Compliance and Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 rating

The Molex 0879141026 qualifies as a substitute based on matching pitch, position count, connector type, mounting method, and safety certifications. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish, and material composition are within acceptable tolerances for equivalent functionality in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 79425-210H and Molex 0879141026 are active products with identical moisture sensitivity ratings and flammability certifications. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements:

Amphenol ICC 79425-210H is suitable for applications where gold-plated contacts and phosphor bronze material are specified, or where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable. The part maintains established supply with 738 units in stock.

Molex 0879141026 is the appropriate choice for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. The breakaway feature provides additional design flexibility for board-to-board or cable configurations. This part is available with 872 units in stock and offers tin contact finish with thicker plating (100.0µin versus 15.0µin).

Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support unlimited moisture exposure (MSL 1). The differences in contact length and insulation height are within standard mechanical tolerances for equivalent electrical performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0879141026 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 79425-210H in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the mechanical and electrical specifications are compatible. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). Verify that the differences in contact length (0.190" versus 0.276" mating length) and insulation height (0.100" versus 0.090") do not conflict with PCB layout or mating connector specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The Molex 0879141026 is ROHS3 compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 79425-210H is RoHS non-compliant. Additionally, the Molex part features tin-plated contacts with thicker plating (100.0µin) compared to the gold-plated contacts (15.0µin) of the Amphenol part. The Molex connector also offers breakaway capability, enabling both board-to-board and cable configurations.

Q: Are the electrical ratings equivalent?

A: The Amphenol ICC 79425-210H specifies 5A current rating and 110V voltage rating. The Molex 0879141026 does not provide explicit current and voltage ratings in the available specifications. Consult Molex technical documentation for detailed electrical ratings if these parameters are critical to your application.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 79425-210H is supplied in bag packaging, while the Molex 0879141026 is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) ratings, indicating suitability for standard reliability applications. For high-reliability or mission-critical applications, consult detailed specifications regarding contact resistance, mating cycle ratings, and environmental performance.
