Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0731000257 (Series 73100)

This substitute part is classified as active and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1. The Molex 0731000257 achieves ROHS3 compliance and is REACH unaffected, providing regulatory advantages for new designs. Operating temperature range is reduced to -55°C ~ 155°C compared to the original -65°C ~ 165°C specification. Insertion loss is improved at 0.2 dB versus 0.3 dB. This part includes an additional insulator component in its package. Current inventory availability is 4,845 units.

Molex 0734042320 (Series 73404)

This parametric equivalent maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1. The Molex 0734042320 is classified as active with current inventory of 1,333 units. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 155°C. Insertion loss is 0.2 dB. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection of this part requires confirmation that RoHS compliance is not a design requirement.

For applications requiring the full operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 165°C, neither substitute part extends to the original lower temperature limit of -65°C. Both substitute parts operate to -55°C minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0731000257 or Molex 0734042320 be used as direct replacements for TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1?

A: Both Molex parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 across all critical parameters including connector style, impedance, termination method, mounting configuration, frequency rating, and cable compatibility. Direct substitution is supported for applications operating within the -55°C ~ 155°C temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0731000257 and Molex 0734042320?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent. The primary differences are: Molex 0731000257 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while Molex 0734042320 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Molex 0731000257 includes an additional insulator component in its package. Selection depends on regulatory requirements and packaging needs.

Q: Why does the TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 have a wider operating temperature range than the substitute parts?

A: The original part specifies -65°C ~ 165°C while the Molex substitutes specify -55°C ~ 155°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 155°C cannot use these substitute parts.

Q: What is the insertion loss difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 specifies 0.3 dB insertion loss, while both Molex substitutes specify 0.2 dB. The Molex parts exhibit lower insertion loss, which represents improved RF performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 includes 3 pieces (1 connector, 1 end cap, 1 ferrule). Molex 0731000257 includes 4 pieces (1 connector, 1 end cap, 1 ferrule, 1 insulator). Molex 0734042320 does not specify included accessories. Both Molex parts are supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection between Molex 0731000257 and Molex 0734042320 depends on regulatory compliance requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, Molex 0731000257 (ROHS3 compliant) is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is suitable based on packaging and inventory considerations.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 still available?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 1060412-1 is classified as obsolete. Current inventory of 985 units is available, but long-term procurement should transition to active substitute parts.
