Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0472720021 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: DisplayPort
• Number of Contacts: 20
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 85°C
• Current Rating: 0.5A
• Voltage Rating: 40VAC
• Mating Cycles: 10000
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Stainless
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All three substitute parts (0472720001, 0472720024, 0472720029) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. Differences exist only in packaging format and product status, with all substitutes classified as active products.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (0472720001, 0472720024, 0472720029) are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete Molex 0472720021. Selection among these active alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

Product Status: All substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance: All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting the same regulatory requirements as the original part.

Packaging Consideration: All substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which differs from the main part's unspecified packaging. Verify that tape and reel packaging is compatible with your assembly process.

Feature Differentiation: Part 0472720024 includes an additional Cover feature compared to 0472720001 and 0472720029, which feature only Board Guide and Latch Lock. This distinction may be relevant for applications requiring enhanced connector protection.

Inventory Availability: Part 0472720001 offers the highest inventory level (8223 pcs), followed by 0472720024 (9549 pcs) and 0472720029 (783 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts interchangeably with the Molex 0472720021?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts (0472720001, 0472720024, 0472720029) are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and performance ratings.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?

A: The main differences are product status (all substitutes are active versus the obsolete main part), packaging format (all substitutes use Tape & Reel), and connector features. Part 0472720024 includes a Cover feature, while 0472720001 and 0472720029 do not.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format difference, not a functional difference. Compatibility depends on your assembly equipment's ability to process tape and reel components. The actual connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, matching the regulatory status of the original part.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on your specific requirements: choose 0472720001 for standard applications with high availability, 0472720024 if the additional Cover feature provides enhanced protection for your application, or 0472720029 if inventory constraints favor lower stock levels.
