Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0747548907

The Molex 0747548907 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0747540907. Both components share the same base product number (074754) and identical functional specifications for SFP+ 1X1 cage assembly with 2mm solder termination.

Compliance Advantages:

• Active product status ensures continued manufacturer support and supply chain availability
• EAR99 ECCN classification provides standard export compliance pathway
• HTSUS code 8538.90.8180 establishes clear tariff classification for procurement
• EMI shielding feature provides enhanced electromagnetic interference protection

Design Continuity: The substitute part maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing designs utilizing the 0747540907. The shared base product number confirms design family alignment and interchangeability within the SFP+ cage connector platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0747548907 directly replace the 0747540907 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are SFP+ 1X1 cage assemblies with 2mm solder termination and share the same base product number (074754), confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 0747540907 classified as obsolete?

A: The 0747540907 has reached end-of-life status. The manufacturer has transitioned production to the active equivalent 0747548907, which provides the same functional performance with current compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 1 (Unlimited) and Not Applicable?

A: The original part specifies MSL 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity constraints. The substitute part lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating it does not require moisture sensitivity level classification under current IPC standards, reflecting updated component design or packaging specifications.

Q: Does the EMI shielding feature on the 0747548907 affect compatibility?

A: No. EMI shielding is an enhancement that provides additional electromagnetic interference protection. This feature does not compromise compatibility with designs specified for the unshielded 0747540907 and may provide improved performance in electrically noisy environments.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for transitioning from 0747540907 to 0747548907?

A: Both parts maintain adequate inventory levels (709 and 736 pieces respectively). For new production, specify the active 0747548907. Existing stock of 0747540907 may be used for field service applications until depletion.

Q: What export compliance applies to the substitute part?

A: The 0747548907 carries EAR99 classification under the Export Administration Regulations, establishing standard export control treatment. HTSUS code 8538.90.8180 applies for tariff and trade purposes.
