Molex 0747280415 SFP Cage Connector – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0747280415 is a Position SFP Cage connector in a ganged 1 x 4 configuration, designed for press-fit through-hole mounting with right-angle orientation. This connector features EMI shielding and light pipe functionality, making it suitable for high-density optical transceiver applications. The part is currently active in production with 794 units in stock. Alternative components may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or specific application requirements that necessitate compatible substitute connectors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0747280415 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: Cage, Ganged (1 x 4) configuration
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation
• Termination Method: Press-Fit technology
• Packaging Format: Tray
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2007135-1 meets these core substitution criteria. While the substitute operates as an SFP+ connector (enhanced specification) rather than standard SFP, it maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical mounting geometry, press-fit termination, ganged 1 x 4 cage structure, and right-angle through-hole configuration. Both parts share equivalent RoHS3 compliance and MSL ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0747280415 and TE Connectivity 2007135-1 are active production components with equivalent regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: Both parts maintain active inventory status with comparable stock levels (794 units for Molex, 779 units for TE Connectivity).
• Compliance Requirements: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry EAR99 export classification, suitable for equivalent regulatory environments.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
• Connector Specification Level: The TE Connectivity substitute operates at SFP+ specification, which is backward compatible with SFP applications due to identical mechanical form factor and press-fit through-hole mounting geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2007135-1 directly replace the Molex 0747280415 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting (through-hole, right-angle, press-fit), ganged 1 x 4 cage configuration, and packaging format. The SFP+ specification of the substitute is compatible with SFP applications due to shared form factor and pin geometry.

Q: What is the difference between SFP and SFP+ connector types?

A: SFP+ represents an enhanced specification of the SFP standard. In this case, both connectors maintain the same 1 x 4 ganged cage structure and press-fit termination, making them mechanically and electrically interchangeable for the specified application.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical MSL ratings (1 – Unlimited), and share the same ECCN classification (EAR99). They are suitable for equivalent regulatory and export environments.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging, ensuring consistent handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Shielding and Light Pipe features?

A: EMI Shielding reduces electromagnetic interference in high-speed signal transmission. Light Pipe (present in the Molex part) provides optical signal indication. Both features are standard for SFP cage connectors in optical transceiver applications. The TE Connectivity substitute includes EMI Shielding; verify light pipe requirements for your specific application.
