Molex 0754510001 SFP Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0754510001 is a 240-position SFP receptacle connector with cage, configured as a ganged (2x6) assembly for press-fit through-hole mounting in right-angle orientation. This connector features board guide, EMI shielding, and light pipe functionality with tin contact finish.

The 0754510001 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0754510001 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type and style (SFP receptacle with cage, ganged 2x6 configuration)
• Position count (240 positions in 20 x 12 arrangement)
• Mounting orientation and method (through-hole, right-angle, press-fit termination)
• Functional features (board guide, EMI shielding, light pipe)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in contact finish, contact finish thickness, packaging format, or compliance certifications do not affect functional interchangeability for the specified connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0754515001 and TE Connectivity 1658895-1 are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete Molex 0754510001 based on connector interface specifications.

The Molex 0754515001 is the direct manufacturer upgrade path, maintaining Molex series continuity (75451 base product) while transitioning to active production status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is available in tray packaging and represents the primary substitution option for existing Molex-based designs.

The TE Connectivity 1658895-1 provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with identical connector interface parameters and active product status. This option is suitable for designs requiring multi-source qualification or when TE Connectivity supply chain integration is preferred. RoHS compliance is confirmed for this part.

Both substitutes employ gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, compared to the tin finish of the original part. This upgrade in contact metallurgy provides improved corrosion resistance and contact reliability in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0754515001 be used as a direct replacement for the 0754510001 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector interface specifications: 240-position SFP receptacle with cage, ganged (2x6) configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and press-fit termination. The 0754515001 is the active production equivalent and represents the recommended substitution path.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between the original part and substitutes?

A: The original 0754510001 uses tin contact finish. Both substitutes employ gold plating at 30.0µin thickness. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and contact stability compared to tin, resulting in improved long-term reliability. This is a material upgrade that does not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original 0754510001 is RoHS non-compliant. The Molex 0754515001 is ROHS3 compliant, and the TE Connectivity 1658895-1 is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, either substitute part satisfies regulatory obligations.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector functionality?

A: No. The Molex 0754515001 is supplied in tray packaging, while the original part packaging is not specified. Packaging format is a logistics consideration only and does not impact connector performance or interchangeability.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1658895-1 be used in designs originally specified for Molex connectors?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1658895-1 meets all functional and interface requirements of the Molex 0754510001. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid when connector interface specifications are identical. Design documentation should be updated to reflect the manufacturer change.
