Molex 0747540101 SFP+ Cage Connector Press-Fit Right Angle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0747540101 is a Position SFP+ Cage Connector with press-fit through-hole mounting in right-angle configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The connector features EMI shielding and complies with ROHS3 and REACH standards. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in SFP+ cage applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0747540101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: SFP+ connector type, cage connector style, through-hole right-angle mounting configuration, press-fit termination, EMI shielding, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Both identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as active products, providing viable alternatives to the obsolete main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using Molex 0747540101, the Molex 0747548101 provides the primary substitute option within the same manufacturer's product line. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with equivalent compliance certifications. The TE Connectivity 2007198-1 offers an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining full parameter equivalence. Selection between these active alternatives should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and existing qualification status within the design documentation. Both substitute parts carry active product status and current compliance certifications suitable for new production and design transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0747548101 directly replace Molex 0747540101 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, mounting configuration, termination method, and compliance ratings. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (bulk versus tray).

Q: What is the difference between the Molex and TE Connectivity substitute options? A: Both parts meet identical SFP+ cage connector specifications with press-fit through-hole right-angle mounting and EMI shielding. The distinction is manufacturer origin. Selection depends on supply availability and existing qualification documentation.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these part numbers? A: Molex 0747540101 ships in tray packaging, while Molex 0747548101 is supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity 2007198-1 uses tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or interchangeability.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications? A: Yes. All three part numbers are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Why is the original Molex 0747540101 listed as obsolete? A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The active substitute Molex 0747548101 provides continued access to equivalent SFP+ cage connector technology within the same product series.
