Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0740611101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style: Header, Male Pins; VHDM, Guide Left
• 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, 120V voltage
• Physical characteristics: Shielded design, gold contact finish, black color
• Mechanical specifications: Contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm)

The substitute part 0740611004 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with improved compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0740611004 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 0740611101. Both parts share identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications within the VHDM 74061 series. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance.

The 0740611101 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. The 0740611004 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics, including 3A current rating, 120V voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and identical contact specifications.

For new designs or system replacements, the 0740611004 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and regulatory compliance. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part provides equivalent functionality.
