Molex 0761601020 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0761601020 is a 120-position backplane connector receptacle with female sockets, designed for board edge mounting with through-hole, right-angle termination. This Impact series connector features press-fit termination and is classified as Active product status. Alternative components may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific pitch requirements, or design evolution toward higher-speed connector architectures.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761601020 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle, female sockets), mounting configuration (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), termination method (press-fit), contact finish specification (gold plating), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3).

Two substitute parts are identified:

Direct Substitute (2007717-1): Maintains 120-position count and identical row/column configuration (12×10). Differs in pitch specification (0.075" vs. 0.053") and packaging format (tube vs. tray). Connector style transitions from Impact to Impact series. This substitution is valid where pitch tolerance permits the larger 0.075" spacing.

Manufacturer-Recommended Substitute (1934224-1): Reduces position count to 80 positions while maintaining 12-row, 10-column layout structure. Transitions connector style from Impact to High Speed (Z-PACK TinMan series). Pitch specification matches the direct substitute at 0.075". This substitution applies to applications where 80-position capacity is functionally equivalent and high-speed signal integrity is required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the main part and substitutes is based on application requirements and compliance status:

Molex 0761601020 remains the primary choice for applications requiring 120-position capacity at 0.053" pitch spacing. All three components maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

TE Connectivity 2007717-1 serves as the direct substitute when pitch tolerance permits 0.075" spacing and 120-position functionality is maintained. Both components share identical row/column architecture and press-fit termination, with equivalent thermal and flammability ratings.

TE Connectivity 1934224-1 applies to applications where 80-position capacity is functionally sufficient and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 90°C) or specified current/voltage ratings (0.5A, 250V) are required. The High Speed connector style indicates suitability for higher-frequency signal applications compared to Impact series alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 2007717-1 directly replace Molex 0761601020 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires board layout compatibility with 0.075" pitch spacing versus the original 0.053" pitch. The 120-position count and mounting configuration are identical, but PCB trace routing and connector footprint must accommodate the larger pitch specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Impact and High Speed connector styles?

A: Connector style designation reflects signal integrity characteristics and application class. Impact series connectors are standard backplane connectors, while High Speed (Z-PACK TinMan) connectors are engineered for applications requiring controlled impedance and reduced crosstalk. Selection depends on signal frequency requirements.

Q: Is TE Connectivity 1934224-1 suitable for applications currently using 120 positions?

A: TE Connectivity 1934224-1 provides 80 positions, representing a 33% reduction in position count. This substitution is valid only when application requirements can be met with 80-position capacity. The extended temperature range (-65°C to 90°C) and specified electrical ratings (0.5A, 250V) may provide additional design margin in demanding environments.

Q: Are all three components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Molex 0761601020, TE Connectivity 2007717-1, and TE Connectivity 1934224-1 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: Molex 0761601020 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both TE Connectivity substitutes (2007717-1 and 1934224-1) are supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.
