Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0465564147 has one direct equivalent substitute: the Molex 0465564145. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Identical position count (160 positions)
• Identical pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Identical row configuration (4 rows)
• Identical connector type (High Density Array, Male)
• Identical mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Identical contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Identical mechanical dimensions (Height Above Board: 0.221", Mated Stacking Heights: 7mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9.5mm, 10mm)
• Identical series designation (SEARAY 46556)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 0465564147 is obsolete, while the 0465564145 maintains active production status with higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0465564145 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0465564147. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including position count, pitch, row configuration, contact finish, and dimensional requirements.

Selection of the 0465564145 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• Equivalent ROHS3 compliance certification
• Equivalent REACH unaffected status
• Higher inventory availability (1547 units versus 815 units)
• Identical series designation and base product number (046556)
• Cut Tape packaging option for automated assembly processes

No technical modifications to PCB layout, mating interface specifications, or assembly procedures are required when transitioning from the 0465564147 to the 0465564145.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0465564147 and 0465564145 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all parameters including position count (160), pitch (0.050"), row configuration (4), contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin), and dimensional characteristics. No design modifications are necessary for substitution.

Q: Why is the 0465564147 listed as obsolete?

A: The 0465564147 has been discontinued by Molex. The 0465564145 represents the active production equivalent within the SEARAY 46556 series.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options?

A: The 0465564147 uses standard packaging, while the 0465564145 is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. Cut Tape packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 0465564147 and 0465564145 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical height above board (0.221" / 5.61mm) and identical mated stacking height options (7mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9.5mm, 10mm).

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The Molex 0465564145 should be specified for new designs due to its active product status and assured long-term availability.
