Molex 0761652607 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0761652607 is a 144-position backplane connector header with male pins designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This connector features an Impact style with guide left orientation, 9 rows by 16 columns configuration, and 48 differential pairs contact layout. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761652607 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series: Molex Impact 76165
• Electrical Configuration: 144 positions, 9 rows × 16 columns, 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch
• Contact Specification: Male pins, gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole press-fit termination, Impact style with guide left orientation
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1
• Electrical Performance: 30V voltage rating, 48 differential pairs contact layout

The substitute part Molex 0761653607 meets all these criteria and is classified as active product status, providing a direct replacement for the obsolete 0761652607.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0761653607 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0761652607. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 0761652607 is obsolete while the 0761653607 is active and currently in production.

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 0761653607 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full compliance with ROHS3 regulations and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. The active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

The packaging difference (tray for 0761653607 versus unspecified for 0761652607) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and is a logistics consideration only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0761653607 directly replace the 0761652607 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 0761653607 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 0761652607 across all specified parameters including position count, pitch, connector style, termination method, and contact specifications. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 0761652607 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured. The 0761653607 is active and in current production. For applications requiring long-term component availability, the active 0761653607 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Environmental and regulatory requirements are equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (tray versus other formats) is a logistics and handling consideration only. It does not affect the electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional characteristics of the connector header itself.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in: manufacturer and series (Molex Impact 76165), position count and configuration (144 positions, 9×16 rows/columns), pitch (0.053"), connector type and style (header male pins, Impact guide left), mounting method (through-hole press-fit), contact specifications (gold finish, 30.0µin thickness), and environmental ratings (UL94 V-0, ROHS3, MSL 1).
