Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0791077067 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector configuration: 36-position receptacle with female socket contacts
• Pitch specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch with 2-row configuration
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Insulation specifications: Black insulation with 0.175" (4.45mm) height
• Environmental compliance: ROHS3 compliance and operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C

The Samtec MMS-118-01-F-DV meets all critical substitution criteria, providing functional and mechanical equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0791077067 and Samtec MMS-118-01-F-DV connectors maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified under identical ECCN and HTSUS codes, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence. Selection between these parts may be based on procurement availability, lead time, inventory position, or established supplier relationships, as both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for rectangular connector applications requiring 36-position, 2.00mm pitch, through-hole solder termination with gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec MMS-118-01-F-DV directly replace the Molex 0791077067 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (36), row configuration (2), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: Are there differences in contact current ratings between these parts?

A: The Molex 0791077067 specifies 1A current rating, while the Samtec MMS-118-01-F-DV specifies 3.9A per contact. The Samtec part supports higher current capacity. Application requirements determine whether this difference is relevant to your design.

Q: What is the significance of insulation material differences?

A: The Molex part uses thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, while the Samtec part uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and environmental conditions. Material selection does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, operate across -55°C to 125°C, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both the Molex 0791077067 and Samtec MMS-118-01-F-DV are supplied in tube packaging.
