Molex 0714332002 VHDCI Female Screwlock Jackscrew Socket - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0714332002 is a jackscrew socket with slotted design for VHDCI receptacles, part of the Ultra+ VHDCI 71433 series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The M2 threaded jackscrew socket serves as a critical mechanical fastening element in VHDCI connector assemblies, requiring direct functional equivalence for proper installation and performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0714332002 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Jackscrew socket with slotted design
• Thread Size: M2 (both socket and screw specifications)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Functional equivalence with D-Sub connector receptacles
• Connector Interface: Compatibility with VHDCI or equivalent D-Sub connector families

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 787004-3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching accessory type (jackscrew socket, slotted), identical thread size (M2), and functional application within the D-Sub connector category. While the 787004-3 is designed for CHAMP D-Sub connectors rather than VHDCI receptacles, both represent slotted M2 jackscrew sockets within the D-Sub connector ecosystem, enabling cross-family substitution where mechanical and electrical requirements align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The Molex 0714332002 is obsolete, while the TE Connectivity 787004-3 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and documented availability (2300 pcs in stock).

Compliance Consideration: The TE Connectivity 787004-3 is RoHS compliant, whereas the Molex 0714332002 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 787004-3 provides regulatory alignment.

Functional Equivalence: Both components share identical M2 thread specifications and slotted jackscrew socket design, establishing mechanical compatibility within D-Sub connector applications. The transition from VHDCI to CHAMP series represents a connector family change rather than a functional degradation of the jackscrew socket itself.

Availability: The TE Connectivity 787004-3 is currently in production with documented inventory, supporting both replacement and new design scenarios where the obsolete Molex component is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 787004-3 directly replace the Molex 0714332002 in existing VHDCI assemblies?

A: The 787004-3 is designed for CHAMP D-Sub connectors, not VHDCI receptacles. Mechanical compatibility of the M2 jackscrew socket does not guarantee functional equivalence with VHDCI-specific connector housings. Physical fit and electrical performance must be verified for the specific connector assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the thread size specification "M2 Socket, M2 Screw" for the TE Connectivity part?

A: This notation indicates that the jackscrew socket accommodates both M2 socket-head screws and M2 machine screws, providing flexibility in fastening options. The Molex 0714332002 specifies M2 thread size without this dual-specification detail.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution decisions?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental consideration. If the application or end-market requires RoHS-compliant components, the TE Connectivity 787004-3 satisfies this requirement, whereas the Molex 0714332002 does not. For legacy systems without RoHS mandates, this difference may not impact selection.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the two jackscrew sockets?

A: The Molex 0714332002 specifies a threaded portion length of 0.197" (5.00mm) below the head. The TE Connectivity 787004-3 specifies a length below head of 0.236" (6.00mm). This 0.039" (1.00mm) difference may affect fit within connector housings designed specifically for VHDCI or CHAMP series components.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the TE Connectivity substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 787004-3 is supplied in box packaging. Verify that packaging format aligns with procurement, storage, and assembly workflow requirements for your application.
