Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0761602016 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Receptacle with female sockets, Impact style, guide left configuration
• Position Count & Pitch: 192 positions at 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination Method: Press-fit contact termination
• Electrical Ratings: 30V voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Environmental Range: -55°C to 85°C operating temperature
• Contact Specifications: Gold finish at 30.0µin thickness

The substitute part 0761603016 maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications while differing only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tray versus unspecified).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0761603016 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0761602016. Both parts are manufactured by Molex within the Impact 76160 series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the 0761603016 is actively manufactured and supported, while the 0761602016 is obsolete.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 0761603016 should be selected. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting current regulatory requirements. The tray packaging of the 0761603016 provides standard handling and storage benefits for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0761603016 be used as a direct replacement for the 0761602016?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, voltage rating, and operating temperature range.

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

A: The 0761603016 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 0761602016. The parts are functionally identical; the difference lies in manufacturing status and packaging format (tray for the 0761603016).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Environmental and electrical ratings are identical.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The tray packaging of the 0761603016 is a standard handling format and does not impact connector functionality or board-level compatibility.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Critical parameters for substitution include connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (192), pitch (0.053"), mounting style (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), termination method (press-fit), and electrical ratings (30V, -55°C to 85°C operating range).
