Molex 0747540713 SFP+ Ganged Cage Connector – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0747540713 is a Position SFP+ Cage connector with ganged (1 x 4) configuration, designed for press-fit through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This component features EMI shielding and light pipe functionality for high-speed optical transceiver interfaces.

The 0747540713 carries an Obsolete product status, making it unavailable for new procurement through standard distribution channels. Identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is necessary to support ongoing design requirements, system maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0747540713 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: SFP+ (optical transceiver interface standard)
• Connector Style: Cage, Ganged (1 x 4) configuration
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation
• Termination Method: Press-Fit connection technology
• Features: EMI Shielding and Light Pipe functionality
• Series Family: 74754 product line
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status

The substitute part must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all parameters listed above. Product status transition from Obsolete to Active does not alter functional compatibility; it reflects manufacturing availability and supply chain status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0747548713

The Molex 0747548713 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0747540713. Both components share 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, EMI shielding, and light pipe features.

The 0747548713 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and distribution availability (699 pcs in stock). Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and carry equivalent moisture sensitivity classifications.

The transition from the obsolete 0747540713 to the active 0747548713 introduces no functional changes to circuit board design, signal integrity, or mechanical assembly procedures. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0747548713 be used as a direct replacement for the 0747540713 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0747548713 is functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. No design changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete 0747540713 and the active 0747548713?

A: Product status differs (Obsolete vs. Active). All functional specifications—connector type, cage configuration, mounting method, termination technology, and feature set—are identical. The status change reflects manufacturing lifecycle and supply chain availability, not technical capability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0747540713 and 0747548713 are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts support through-hole, right-angle mounting with press-fit termination technology. This configuration is suitable for perpendicular PCB edge placement in high-speed optical transceiver applications.

Q: Do these connectors include EMI shielding?

A: Yes. Both the 0747540713 and 0747548713 feature EMI shielding and light pipe functionality for signal integrity in SFP+ optical interfaces.

Q: Is the 0747548713 available for procurement?

A: Yes. The 0747548713 carries Active product status with current inventory availability (699 pcs in stock). The obsolete 0747540713 is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Q: What is the ganged (1 x 4) configuration?

A: The ganged (1 x 4) designation indicates a single cage assembly housing four SFP+ connector positions in a unified mechanical structure. This configuration supports multi-port optical transceiver modules in a compact form factor.
