Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0761651607 is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0761650607. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch, position count, operating temperature range, and voltage rating. The 0761651607 maintains active product status and is available in higher inventory quantities, making it the preferred choice for direct replacement in existing designs without modification.

TE Connectivity Z-PACK TinMan Series (1934343-1, 1934344-1, 1934345-1, 1934346-1) provides functional equivalence with design accommodation. These parts maintain the 144-position, 9×16 configuration and through-hole press-fit termination required for backplane applications. The wider pitch (0.075" vs. 0.053") requires PCB layout modification but offers enhanced electrical performance through higher voltage rating (250V) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 90°C). All four variants are active products with ROHS3 compliance. Selection among these variants depends on contact finish requirements and specific application needs.

TE Connectivity 2007804-3 offers Impact-style connector compatibility matching the original part's connector style. This part maintains the same operating temperature range and flammability rating while providing active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The pitch specification (0.075" at 1.91mm) requires design accommodation similar to the Z-PACK TinMan series.

For procurement of the obsolete 0761650607, the Molex 0761651607 is the recommended first choice. If design flexibility permits pitch modification, the TE Connectivity alternatives provide enhanced electrical specifications and assured long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0761651607 be used as a direct replacement for the 0761650607?

A: Yes. The 0761651607 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 0761650607, differing only in packaging format (Tray) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Molex Impact series and the TE Connectivity Z-PACK TinMan series?

A: The primary difference is pitch: Molex Impact uses 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch, while TE Z-PACK TinMan uses 0.075" (1.90mm) pitch. Both maintain 144 positions in a 9×16 configuration. The wider pitch of the TinMan series requires PCB layout modification but provides higher voltage rating (250V vs. 30V) and extended temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. The Molex 0761651607 and TE parts 1934345-1, 1934346-1, and 2007804-3 are ROHS3 compliant. TE parts 1934343-1 and 1934344-1 are RoHS compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Molex 0761651607 is supplied in Tray packaging. TE Connectivity Z-PACK TinMan series (1934343-1, 1934344-1, 1934345-1, 1934346-1) are supplied in Tube packaging. TE Connectivity 2007804-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling and storage requirements.

Q: Can I use a TE Connectivity substitute if my PCB is designed for the 0.053" pitch of the original Molex part?

A: No. The TE Connectivity alternatives use 0.075" pitch and cannot be mounted on PCBs designed for 0.053" pitch without PCB redesign. The Molex 0761651607 maintains the original 0.053" pitch and is the appropriate choice for existing PCB designs.

Q: What is the current rating for these connector headers?

A: The Molex 0761650607 and 0761651607 do not specify a current rating. The TE Connectivity Z-PACK TinMan series (1934343-1, 1934344-1, 1934345-1, 1934346-1) is rated for 0.5A per contact. The TE Connectivity 2007804-3 does not specify a current rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The Molex 0761651607 and TE 2007804-3 maintain the original -55°C to 85°C range. The TE Z-PACK TinMan series extends this to -65°C to 90°C, providing enhanced thermal performance for applications requiring wider temperature operation.
