Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0761653806 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0761652806 based on strict parameter equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical configurations in the following determinative parameters:

• 72-position connector count with 9×9 row/column matrix
• 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch spacing
• Impact style with guide left orientation
• Male pin header configuration for through-hole mounting
• Press-fit termination method
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• 30V voltage rating
• -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability classification
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The substitute part (0761653806) is classified as active with tray packaging, whereas the original part (0761652806) is obsolete with standard packaging.
