• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute Parts:

• Molex 0761453604 (Active, Tray packaging)
• Molex 0761457604 (Active, Tray packaging)

Both substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (0761453604 and 0761457604) are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete 0761456604. Selection between the two active alternatives should be based on:

Product Status: Both substitutes carry Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support compared to the Obsolete main part.

Compliance & Certifications: All three parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and EAR99 export classification. No compliance trade-offs exist between the main part and substitutes.

Packaging: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while both substitutes are supplied in Tray packaging. Tray packaging is standard for active production inventory and does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are 1117 units for 0761453604 and 683 units for 0761457604, providing adequate supply for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 0761453604 and 0761457604 electrically and mechanically identical to 0761456604?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (30V rating, -55°C to 85°C operating range), mechanical configuration (288 positions, 0.053" pitch, 18×16 layout), contact properties (gold finish, 30.0µin thickness), and termination method (press-fit through-hole). They are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Why is the main part 0761456604 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Molex has discontinued active manufacturing and support for this part number. The substitute parts 0761453604 and 0761457604 are active alternatives that provide equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Does packaging type affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. Packaging type (standard vs. Tray) is a logistics and handling consideration only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or compatibility with mating connectors or PCB designs.

Q: Can I use either substitute part interchangeably in my design?

A: Yes. Both 0761453604 and 0761457604 are direct substitutes with identical specifications. Selection can be based on inventory availability or procurement preference.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and export classification (EAR99). No compliance trade-offs exist.
