Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0747547103 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0747540103 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Both parts are SFP+ cage connectors
• Mounting Configuration: Identical through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Termination: Both use solder termination
• Shielding: Both feature EMI shielding
• Series Designation: Both belong to the 74754 series
• Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitution is driven by product lifecycle transition from Obsolete to Active status while preserving all functional and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0747547103 is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with the 0747540103. Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) and environmental ratings (MSL 1). The transition from Obsolete to Active product status ensures long-term supply chain viability and manufacturing support. Packaging format differs (Bulk for substitute), which may affect procurement quantities but does not impact functional or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0747540103 and 0747547103 electrically identical? A: Yes. Both are SFP+ cage connectors with solder termination and EMI shielding. All electrical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Can the 0747547103 be used as a direct replacement on existing PCBs designed for the 0747540103? A: Yes. The mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), connector style (cage), and termination method (solder) are identical, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.
