Molex 0761456607 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0761456607 is a 288-position backplane connector header with male pins configured for through-hole mounting. This Impact series connector features an 18×16 column layout with 96 differential pairs and press-fit termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Active alternatives within the same series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0761456607 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute parts 0761453607 and 0761457607 are direct functional equivalents within the Impact 76145 series. Substitution validity is determined by the following parameters:

• Identical number of positions (288)
• Matching connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; Impact, Guide Left)
• Identical pitch specification (0.053" / 1.35mm)
• Same row and column configuration (18×16)
• Matching contact layout (96 Differential Pairs)
• Identical mounting and termination methods (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Equivalent electrical ratings (30V, -55°C to 85°C)
• Matching compliance standards (UL94 V-0, ROHS3)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The main part (0761456607) is obsolete, while both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (0761453607 and 0761457607) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 0761456607 and are suitable for direct replacement in new designs and production updates. Selection between the two active alternatives should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

• 0761453607: Active product status with tray packaging. Current inventory of 924 units available.
• 0761457607: Active product status with tray packaging. Current inventory of 882 units available.

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 standards. The substitutes offer improved long-term availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete main part. Packaging format (tray) in both substitutes may require adjustment to assembly processes if the original design specified bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0761453607 and 0761457607 be used interchangeably with 0761456607?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, contact layout, and operating ratings. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (tray vs. bulk).

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The parts 0761453607 and 0761457607 are electrically and mechanically identical. Both are active products in tray packaging. Selection should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times.

Q: Does the packaging change from bulk to tray affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. However, tray packaging may require different handling procedures during assembly and storage compared to bulk packaging. Verify that assembly equipment and processes are compatible with tray-packaged connectors.

Q: Are the substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 0761453607 and 0761457607 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All three parts (main and substitutes) operate within the range of -55°C to 85°C, with a voltage rating of 30V and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
