Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0761450608 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Header, Male Pins; Impact series
• Position Count & Layout: 288 positions, 18 rows × 16 columns, 96 differential pairs
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.053" (1.35mm)
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole PCB mounting with press-fit termination
• Electrical Ratings: 30V voltage rating
• Contact Specifications: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part 0761451608 maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications while differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (tray vs. bulk).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0761451608 be used as a direct replacement for the 0761450608?

A: Yes. The 0761451608 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 0761450608. All critical parameters—position count, pitch, contact specifications, voltage rating, temperature range, and compliance certifications—are equivalent. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between the bulk and tray packaging?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly logistics but does not alter the connector's electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging (0761451608) is standard for active production parts and facilitates automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging (0761450608) was used for the obsolete variant.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 0761451608 for the 0761450608?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors are identical in form, fit, and function. PCB layouts, mating connector specifications, and electrical performance remain unchanged.

Q: What certifications apply to the 0761451608?

A: The 0761451608 carries ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, identical to the 0761450608. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Is the 0761451608 available in inventory?

A: According to current data, 733 pieces of the 0761451608 are in stock as new original inventory, ensuring immediate availability for procurement.
