Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0761653604 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0761652604 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type, style, and orientation remain unchanged (Header, Male Pins; Impact, Guide Left)
• Position count and pitch are identical (144 positions at 0.053" / 1.35mm)
• Row and column configuration match (9 × 16)
• Contact finish specification is equivalent (Gold plating, 30.0µin thickness)
• Electrical ratings are maintained (30V, -55°C ~ 85°C operating range)
• Compliance certifications are equivalent or superior (UL94 V-0, ROHS3)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, not functional or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0761653604 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 0761652604. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection of the 0761653604 is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, and replacement procurement where the obsolete part number is no longer available.

The packaging difference (bulk versus tray) does not affect functional compatibility and reflects standard industry practice for active production parts. Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications and operating characteristics across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0761653604 be used as a direct replacement for the 0761652604?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact finish, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The 0761653604 is the active production equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The 0761652604 is obsolete, while the 0761653604 is active production. The 0761653604 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the 0761652604 was supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. Electrical ratings, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications are equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance. The tray packaging of the 0761653604 is standard for active production parts and does not impact PCB assembly or system integration.

Q: What parameters must match for substitution to be valid?

A: Critical parameters for substitution include connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; Impact, Guide Left), position count (144), pitch (0.053" / 1.35mm), row and column configuration (9 × 16), contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin), voltage rating (30V), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C).
