Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0747540135 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Molex (same manufacturer maintains design compatibility)
• Base Product Number: 074754 (same product family)
• Connector Type: SFP+ (same interface standard)
• Termination: Solder (same connection method)
• Contact Finish: Tin-Plated (same surface treatment)

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Molex 0747548135 shares the same base product number, manufacturer, connector type, termination method, and compliance certifications as the obsolete 0747540135. The primary distinction is the connector configuration: the 0747548135 features a Ganged (1 x 2) cage assembly versus the single cage configuration of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0747548135 is the active equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0747540135. Both components share identical manufacturer origin, base product family, connector type, termination method, and regulatory compliance status.

Selection of the 0747548135 is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains current manufacturing and supply chain support
• RoHS Compliance: Both components meet RoHS requirements
• MSL Rating: Identical moisture sensitivity classification ensures equivalent handling and storage requirements
• Functional Compatibility: Shared SFP+ connector type and solder termination maintain electrical and mechanical interface compatibility within the 074754 product family

The ganged (1 x 2) configuration of the 0747548135 represents a design enhancement over the single cage configuration, providing additional EMI shielding capability while maintaining the same electrical interface standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0747548135 directly replace the 0747540135 in existing designs?

A: The 0747548135 shares the same connector type (SFP+), termination method (solder), and base product family (074754) as the 0747540135. The primary design difference is the ganged (1 x 2) cage configuration versus single cage. Direct substitution requires verification that the physical footprint and connector arrangement are compatible with the target application.

Q: What is the significance of the ganged (1 x 2) configuration in the substitute part?

A: The ganged configuration indicates that the 0747548135 accommodates two SFP+ positions in a single assembly. This differs from the single-position configuration of the 0747540135. Application requirements determine whether this configuration change is suitable for the intended use.

Q: Are there any differences in handling or storage between these components?

A: Both components carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity classification. No differential handling or storage requirements exist between the two parts.

Q: What does the EMI Shielded feature in the 0747548135 provide?

A: The EMI shielding in the 0747548135 provides electromagnetic interference protection. This feature is not specified for the 0747540135 but represents a design enhancement in the active substitute.

Q: Is the 0747548135 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 0747548135 carries RoHS Compliant status, matching the compliance certification of the obsolete 0747540135.

Q: What is the current availability status of these components?

A: The 0747540135 is obsolete with 1015 pieces in current inventory. The 0747548135 is active with 884 pieces in current inventory, ensuring ongoing supply availability.
