Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0734153592 is determined by strict parametric equivalence within the 73415 series. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: SMP
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency Maximum: 40 GHz
• Mounting Type: Board Edge, Cutout; Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Dielectric Material: PTFE
• Center Contact Material: Brass
• Body Material: Brass
• Body Finish: Gold
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Housing Color: Gold
• Number of Ports: 1
• Features: Limited Detent
• Voltage Rating: 335 V

Variations between the main part and substitutes are limited to packaging format (Bag vs. Bulk), operating temperature range specifications, mating cycle ratings, and regulatory compliance documentation. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain active production status and are manufactured by Molex within the 73415 series. Selection between these equivalent parts should be based on the following criteria:

Packaging Requirements: Part 0734153595 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments. Parts 0734153592, 0734066182, and 0734153597 are supplied in bag packaging, appropriate for standard component procurement workflows.

Regulatory Compliance: Part 0734153595 carries RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH affected status documentation. Parts 0734153592, 0734066182, and 0734153597 do not specify these compliance certifications in available documentation.

Operating Temperature Specification: Part 0734153592 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. Part 0734153595 specifies -65°C to 155°C. Parts 0734066182 and 0734153597 do not provide operating temperature specifications.

Mating Cycle Rating: Part 0734153595 specifies 500 mating cycles. The remaining parts do not provide mating cycle specifications.

For applications requiring documented RoHS3 compliance or bulk packaging, part 0734153595 is the appropriate selection. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range, part 0734153592 is specified. All parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for 50 Ohm RF applications up to 40 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All four parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 50 Ohm impedance, 40 GHz maximum frequency, SMP connector style, male pin configuration, and solder termination. They are electrically equivalent for RF applications within these parameters.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bag vs. bulk), operating temperature range documentation, mating cycle ratings, and regulatory compliance certifications. The core connector design and electrical performance are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production?

A: Part 0734153595 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for high-volume manufacturing. Parts 0734153592, 0734066182, and 0734153597 are supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect compatibility?

A: Operating temperature range specifications indicate the validated performance envelope for each part. Part 0734153592 is specified to -65°C to 165°C. Part 0734153595 is specified to -65°C to 155°C. If your application requires operation above 155°C, part 0734153592 is the appropriate selection. For applications within -65°C to 155°C, all parts are suitable.

Q: What does the mating cycle rating mean?

A: Mating cycles indicate the number of connect/disconnect operations the connector is rated to withstand. Part 0734153595 specifies 500 mating cycles. The other parts do not provide this specification. For applications with frequent mating operations, part 0734153595 provides documented cycle rating.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Part 0734153595 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH affected status certifications. Parts 0734153592, 0734066182, and 0734153597 do not specify these certifications in available documentation. For applications requiring documented RoHS3 compliance, part 0734153595 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your application does not exceed the specified operating temperature range or require documented compliance certifications. All parts are mechanically compatible with board edge cutout mounting and maintain identical RF performance characteristics.
