Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 950444-8200-AR-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 44-position receptacle configuration with 2-row layout
• 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• 1A current rating capability
• 0.193" (4.90mm) insulation height
• Solder termination

The Molex 0873686134 (Milli-Grid 87368 series) satisfies all these core electrical and mechanical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 3M connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0873686134 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 950444-8200-AR-TP based on the following factors:

All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align between the two connectors, including position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, contact finish, and current rating. The Molex connector maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both connectors share identical moisture sensitivity classification and equivalent operating specifications for board-to-board applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0873686134 directly replace the 3M 950444-8200-AR-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.079"), position count (44), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (surface mount right-angle), and contact finish (gold). The mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through these matching parameters.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 950444-8200-AR-TP is obsolete. The Molex 0873686134 provides an active, in-production alternative with equivalent specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The 950444-8200-AR-TP packaging is not specified in available data. The Molex 0873686134 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for surface mount rectangular connectors.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: The 950444-8200-AR-TP operates from -40°C to 105°C. The Molex 0873686134 operates from -55°C to 105°C, providing an extended lower temperature capability.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute?

A: The Molex 0873686134 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
