Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0740611004 is the direct functional equivalent of the 0740611013. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the VHDM 74061 series. The primary distinction lies in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

The 0740611013 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 0740611004 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part carries RoHS non-compliant status. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 0740611004 provides equivalent performance with improved regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0740611013 and 0740611004 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical connector geometry, pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (80), array configuration (8×10), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (press-fit). PCB footprints and mating interfaces are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 0740611013 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 0740611004 is active, ROHS3 compliant, and available in tube packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Q: Can I use the 0740611004 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0740611004 provides direct functional equivalence with no design modifications required. The identical electrical ratings (3A, 120V), contact specifications (gold plating, 30.0µin thickness), and physical dimensions ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance on the 0740611004?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This certification is required for many commercial and industrial applications and provides assurance of material composition standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0740611004 is supplied in tube packaging. The original part packaging specification is not provided. Tube packaging is standard for through-hole connector headers and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the current rating and voltage specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A continuous current and 120V maximum voltage. These specifications apply to the connector contacts and must be observed in circuit design to ensure safe operation.
