Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 950408-8220-AR-TP is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be receptacle, board-to-board or board-to-cable configuration
• Position Count & Arrangement: 8 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch with matching row spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Contact Interface: Female socket with gold mating finish
• Electrical Performance: 1A current rating minimum, push-pull fastening mechanism
• Environmental Range: Operating temperature compatibility within specified limits

The Molex 0873680824 (Milli-Grid 87368 series) satisfies all substitution criteria through matching mechanical dimensions, contact configuration, and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 950408-8220-AR-TP is classified as obsolete. The Molex 0873680824 is an active product with current manufacturing support and availability. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting style, and current rating.

The Molex substitute provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C), offering broader environmental compatibility. The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both components carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Selection of the Molex 0873680824 as a replacement ensures design continuity with equivalent electrical performance, mechanical fit, and long-term procurement availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
