Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0760940001 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: SFP+
• Connector Style: Receptacle with Cage, Ganged (2x6)
• Number of Positions: 240 (20 x 12)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Press-Fit
• Features: Board Guide, EMI Shielded, Light Pipe
• Contact Finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Series: 76094

The substitute part 0760945001 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring functional and physical compatibility with applications designed for the 0760940001.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0760945001 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0760940001. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 76094 series, ensuring pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 0760945001 maintains active product status and achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 0760940001 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the 0760945001 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original specification must be preserved, the 0760940001 remains available in current inventory.

Both parts carry identical moisture sensitivity (MSL 1), REACH status, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent handling, storage, and regulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0760945001 be used as a direct replacement for the 0760940001 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0760945001 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0760940001. Both connectors share identical position count (240), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), termination method (press-fit), and feature set (board guide, EMI shielding, light pipe). No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 0760940001 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 0760945001 is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 0760940001 and 0760945001?

A: The 0760940001 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 0760945001 is packaged in trays. This difference affects logistics and handling but does not impact connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 0760940001 and 0760945001 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production?

A: The Molex 0760945001 is recommended for new production due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term supply availability and regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.
