Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0761653803 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0761652803 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 matrix configuration are identical (72 positions; 9×8 layout)
  • Pitch specification matches exactly (0.053" / 1.35mm)
  • Contact finish, voltage rating, and temperature range are equivalent
  • Mounting method and termination type are identical (Through Hole; Press-Fit)
  • Compliance certifications are maintained (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging: the 0761652803 is obsolete with bulk packaging, while the 0761653803 is active with tray packaging.
