Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0747280412 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type: SFP
• Connector Style: Cage, Ganged (1 x 4)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Press-Fit
• EMI Shielding: Present
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1658744-3 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, with the distinction of active product status versus the obsolete status of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1658744-3 is the designated equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0747280412. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: SFP connector type, ganged 1 x 4 cage configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, press-fit termination, and EMI shielding.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8538.90.8180). The primary distinction is product status: the TE Connectivity part is active and available for new designs, while the Molex part is obsolete.
