Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761450613 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins, Impact series)
• Position count and array configuration (288 positions, 18×16 rows/columns)
• Pitch specification (0.053" / 1.35mm)
• Contact layout (96 differential pairs)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Electrical ratings (30V, UL94 V-0)
• Environmental compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The substitute part 0761451613 meets all these criteria and represents a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active production, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0761451613 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 0761450613. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the same Impact 76145 series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The substitute maintains full compliance with ROHS3 requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

The primary advantage of selecting 0761451613 is active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. No design modifications or PCB layout changes are required for substitution. The packaging difference (tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the original) does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0761451613 be used as a direct replacement for the 0761450613 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, array configuration, mounting method, and electrical ratings. No PCB layout changes are necessary.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 0761450613 is obsolete, while the 0761451613 is in active production. The substitute is supplied in tray packaging. All functional and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect the connector's functional performance or PCB mounting. The tray packaging of the substitute is a standard distribution format and does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for this connector?

A: Both the original and substitute parts operate across -55°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Is the gold contact finish specification the same?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
