Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0764505608 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 96 positions (non-negotiable)
• Physical Configuration: 6 rows × 16 columns (non-negotiable)
• Pitch: 0.053" (1.35mm) (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Style: Board edge, through-hole, right-angle (non-negotiable)
• Connector Type: Header with male pins (non-negotiable)
• Termination Method: Press-fit (non-negotiable)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) (non-negotiable)
• Electrical Ratings: 30V voltage rating, operating temperature -55°C ~ 85°C (non-negotiable)
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability, ROHS3 compliance (non-negotiable)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 2143315-3 meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0764505608 and TE Connectivity 2143315-3 are Active product status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging Format: The Molex part is supplied in Tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity equivalent is supplied in Tube packaging. Choose based on your assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, ensuring regulatory compatibility in equivalent applications.
• Supply Chain Continuity: The TE Connectivity part (2143315-3) is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute and provides an alternative source for 96-position Impact series backplane connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2143315-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0764505608?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (30V), mechanical configuration (96 positions, 6×16 array, 0.053" pitch), mounting style (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), termination method (press-fit), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3). The parts are functionally equivalent for backplane connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Tube packaging?

A: Tray packaging (Molex 0764505608) organizes components in a flat tray format suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Tube packaging (TE Connectivity 2143315-3) uses a cylindrical tube format. Selection depends on your assembly equipment compatibility and storage requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0764505608 and TE Connectivity 2143315-3 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the Molex 0764505608?

A: Substitution requires exact alignment on: 96-position count, 6×16 row-column configuration, 0.053" (1.35mm) pitch, board edge through-hole right-angle mounting, press-fit termination, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, 30V voltage rating, -55°C to 85°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability, and ROHS3 compliance. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a direct substitute.
