Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 0734154673 and 0734154670 are active production parts from Molex with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: The 0734154670 maintains higher inventory levels (5491 units) compared to the 0734154673 (934 units), making it suitable for high-volume procurement or extended lead time mitigation.

Compliance: The 0734154670 includes documented RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The 0734154673 does not specify these certifications in the provided data.

Operating Temperature: The 0734154670 specifies operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The 0734154673 does not provide this specification.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 0734154670 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). The 0734154673 is listed as Not Applicable for MSL.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in 50 ohm SSMCX board edge mount applications operating at frequencies up to 6 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0734154670 directly replace the 0734154673 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50 ohm impedance, 6 GHz maximum frequency, 170 V rating) and mechanical configurations (SSMCX style, board edge mounting, surface mount solder termination). No design modifications are required.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for SSMCX connectors?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector style (SSMCX), connector type (Jack, Female Socket), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting type (Board Edge, Cutout; Surface Mount), contact and shield termination method (Solder), frequency rating (6 GHz), cable group (1.37mm), voltage rating (170 V), and dielectric material (PTFE).

Q: Are there differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bag packaging. The 0734154670 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), while the 0734154673 is listed as Not Applicable. This indicates the 0734154670 has defined moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. The 0734154670 is recommended when RoHS3 compliance documentation and defined operating temperature specifications (-55°C to 155°C) are required for regulatory or quality assurance purposes.

Q: Do these connectors support the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both connectors are specified for 1.37mm coaxial cable and maintain 50 ohm impedance matching across the specified frequency range.
