Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761553608 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Array Configuration: The substitute part must maintain 192 total positions organized in a 12-row by 16-column matrix to ensure PCB layout compatibility.

Connector Type & Gender: Male pin headers are required to maintain mating interface compatibility with corresponding female receptacles in the target application.

Mounting & Termination: Through-hole mounting with press-fit termination ensures mechanical stability and electrical continuity in PCB assembly processes.

Contact Finish & Material Compliance: Gold-plated contacts with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance are baseline requirements for equivalent functionality.

Electrical Ratings: Operating temperature range, voltage rating, and current handling capacity must support the intended application environment.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1934316-1 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these core compatibility criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0761553608 and TE Connectivity 1934316-1 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The TE Connectivity 1934316-1 provides an extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 90°C versus -55°C ~ 85°C) and higher voltage rating (250V versus 30V), making it suitable for applications requiring broader environmental tolerance or higher electrical stress conditions. The Molex 0761553608 operates at a finer pitch (0.053" versus 0.075"), which may be relevant for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding pitch tolerance, temperature extremes, and voltage stress levels, in addition to packaging and inventory availability considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1934316-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0761553608?

A: Both parts share identical position count (192), array configuration (12×16), connector type (male header), mounting method (through-hole), and termination style (press-fit). However, the TE part features a different pitch specification (0.075" versus 0.053"), which affects PCB footprint dimensions. Direct physical substitution requires PCB layout compatibility verification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are pitch (0.053" for Molex versus 0.075" for TE), operating temperature range (Molex: -55°C to 85°C; TE: -65°C to 90°C), and voltage rating (Molex: 30V; TE: 250V). Both maintain identical position counts, gold contact finish, and UL94 V-0 compliance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0761553608 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the TE Connectivity 1934316-1 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of the different pitch specifications?

A: Pitch determines the physical spacing between connector pins and the corresponding PCB pad layout. The Molex part uses 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch, while the TE part uses 0.075" (1.90mm) pitch. These are not interchangeable on the same PCB without redesign.

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

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0761553608 and TE Connectivity 1934316-1 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 1934316-1 supports an extended upper operating temperature of 90°C compared to the Molex part's 85°C maximum. For applications approaching or exceeding 85°C, the TE part provides additional thermal margin.
