Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761655608 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 144
• Connector Style: Impact, Guide Right
• Number of Rows: 9
• Number of Columns: 16
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Color: Black
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Voltage Rating: 30V or higher
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2007797-3 is identified as a direct substitute. While the pitch specification differs (0.075" versus 0.053"), this part maintains functional equivalence across all other critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for backplane connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0761655608 and TE Connectivity 2007797-3 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial backplane applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on PCB layout requirements and connector footprint compatibility. The pitch difference (0.053" versus 0.075") represents the primary design consideration and must be evaluated against specific board design constraints and spacing requirements.

Both connectors support identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 85°C) and voltage ratings (30V), ensuring electrical performance equivalence in standard backplane applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2007797-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0761655608?

A: Both connectors share identical position count (144), row/column configuration (9x16), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (press-fit). However, the pitch specification differs (0.075" versus 0.053"), which affects PCB footprint and hole spacing. Substitution is possible only if the PCB layout accommodates the larger pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between these two connectors?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center distance between adjacent connector pins. The Molex part uses 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch, while the TE Connectivity part uses 0.075" (1.91mm) pitch. This difference directly impacts PCB hole diameter, spacing, and trace routing. PCB redesign may be required for substitution.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the same voltage and temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 30V operation and support the identical temperature range of -55°C ~ 85°C, making them electrically equivalent for standard backplane applications within these specifications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Molex 0761655608 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity 2007797-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality but may influence inventory management and handling procedures.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified as Active products with ongoing manufacturer support.
