Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0679260021 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type: SATA
• Position count: 15 positions
• Connector style: Receptacle
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging in-line
• Termination: IDC
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Mechanical features: Latch lock mechanism
• Series classification: 67926

The substitute part 0679260001 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring functional compatibility within the same application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0679260001 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0679260021. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the same 67926 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The 0679260001 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification.

The primary distinction is packaging: the 0679260021 was supplied without specified packaging, while the 0679260001 is supplied in tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0679260001 directly replace the 0679260021 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters: 15-position SATA receptacle, IDC termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, gold contact finish, and latch lock features. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 0679260021 is obsolete, meaning Molex has discontinued manufacturing. The 0679260001 is active, ensuring continued availability for procurement and production use.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical compliance status: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99 classified. Moisture sensitivity level is equivalent at MSL 1 (unlimited).

Q: Does packaging affect connector selection?

A: Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 0679260001 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production parts. Selection should be based on application requirements and supply chain logistics.

Q: Are these parts from the same manufacturer series?

A: Yes. Both parts belong to the Molex 67926 series, confirming design lineage and compatibility within the same connector family.
