The Molex 0875683063 is a 30-position receptacle from the Milli-Grid 87568 series, designed for mass-termination of 28 AWG ribbon cable via insulation-displacement contacts (IDC). Free-hanging (in-line) mounting means no board lock or panel hardware; the connector floats in the harness, which is typical for internal ribbon cable runs in computing, peripheral, and industrial control enclosures.
Fit and termination — what to match
The 30-position count and 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch are the non-negotiable fit parameters. The mating half is a Milli-Grid 87568 series pin header with the same pitch, row count, and position count — any header in that family with matching dimensions will mate. IDC termination requires the correct 28 AWG ribbon cable; the feed-through feature on the receptacle lets the cable pass through the housing, which is useful for daisy-chain or pass-through harness layouts. The 2-row spacing is also 0.079" (2.00mm), so the overall footprint is a 30-position grid that aligns with standard 0.079" pitch ribbon cable. Compared to a 26-position sibling like 0875683062, the difference is purely the circuit count — same pitch, same termination style, same gold plating — so the selection decision comes down to the number of signals in the harness.
