Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0761655607 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0761654607 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Identical number of positions: 144
• Identical pitch specification: 0.053" (1.35mm)
• Identical connector type and style: Header, Male Pins, Impact, Guide Right
• Identical mounting and termination method: Through Hole, Press-Fit
• Identical contact finish specification: Gold, 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Identical voltage and temperature ratings: 30V, -55°C ~ 85°C
• Identical material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Identical RoHS compliance status: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration. The 0761655607 is an active production part supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the 0761654607 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0761655607 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 0761654607. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including voltage rating, operating temperature range, contact configuration, and RoHS3 compliance status. The 0761655607 is currently in active production, ensuring reliable supply chain availability and long-term component sourcing for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

The transition from 0761654607 to 0761655607 requires no design modifications, as all functional parameters remain unchanged. The packaging difference (Tray for the substitute) is a logistics consideration that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.
