Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0740571007 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector style: VHDM
• Number of positions: 60
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Configuration: 6 rows × 10 columns
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination method: Press-fit
• Connector type: Header, male pins
• Shielded construction
• Current rating: 2A
• Voltage rating: 120V
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria: Molex 0740579007 and Molex 0740571002. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in packaging configuration and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the obsolete 0740571007 across all critical connector parameters. Selection between the two active alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Molex 0740579007 is the preferred substitute for applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to modern regulatory requirements. Packaging is supplied in tube format.

Molex 0740571002 provides an alternative substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original 0740571007, making it suitable for legacy system replacements where regulatory compliance is not a requirement. Contact finish thickness is reduced to 30.0µin (0.76µm) compared to the original 50.0µin (1.27µm). Packaging is supplied in tray format.

Both parts are currently in active production status with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 0740579007 and 0740571002 directly interchangeable with 0740571007?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector style, position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is supported at the PCB assembly level.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between the parts?

A: The original 0740571007 and substitute 0740579007 feature 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold contact finish thickness. The substitute 0740571002 features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness. Both thicknesses meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for this connector series.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new product designs?

A: Molex 0740579007 is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: Molex 0740579007 is supplied in tube packaging. Molex 0740571002 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Molex 0740579007 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Molex 0740571002 maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part. Application regulatory requirements should determine which substitute is appropriate.
