Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0740611022 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style: Header, Male Pins with VHDM, Guide Left configuration
• Position count and arrangement: 80 positions in 8 rows × 10 columns
• Pitch specification: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole with press-fit termination
• Electrical ratings: 3A current rating and 120V voltage rating
• Physical characteristics: Shielded design with gold-plated contacts at 30.0µin thickness
• Material compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Molex 0740611004 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product within the same VHDM 74061 series, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0740611004 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0740611022. Both components share identical electrical, mechanical, and physical specifications within the VHDM 74061 series. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 0740611004 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 0740611022 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 0740611004 is the appropriate selection. The active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support. The ROHS3 compliance of the 0740611004 aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0740611004 be used as a direct replacement for the 0740611022 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The 0740611004 maintains identical position count, pitch, current rating, voltage rating, contact finish, and mounting configuration. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The primary differences are product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 0740611022 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0740611004 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All functional specifications are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 0740611004 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 0740611022 packaging is not specified. Packaging affects handling and storage logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts have identical current ratings (3A), voltage ratings (120V), contact finish specifications (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and flammability ratings (UL94 V-0).

Q: Why should I transition from the 0740611022 to the 0740611004?

A: The 0740611022 is obsolete, which limits future availability and manufacturing support. The 0740611004 is an active product with confirmed inventory and ongoing production. Additionally, ROHS3 compliance of the 0740611004 meets current regulatory standards.
