Molex 1722561007 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 1722561007 is a 7-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with a 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The connector uses crimp termination with latch lock fastening and is supplied without contacts.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 1722561007 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 7-position, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, single row
• Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

Two substitute parts meet these core criteria:

1722563107 (MFR Recommended): Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and enhanced features (Glow Wire Compliant, Terminal Position Lock).

0510670700 (Parametric Equivalent): Matches all core electrical and mechanical parameters but differs in color (natural vs. black) and insulation material (PBT vs. polyamide).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement with maximum compatibility: Select Molex 1722563107. This part is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and carries active product status. It provides enhanced features including Glow Wire Compliance and Terminal Position Lock (TPA) while maintaining ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

For parametric equivalence with material variation: Select Molex 0510670700. This part satisfies all core electrical and mechanical requirements with identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method. The primary differences are housing color (natural vs. black) and insulation material (PBT vs. polyamide). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating with identical operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1722563107 be used as a direct replacement for 1722561007?

A: Yes. The 1722563107 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters of the 1722561007, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, and termination type. The primary advantage is active product status and enhanced features.

Q: What is the key difference between 1722563107 and 0510670700?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1722563107 features black housing with polyamide insulation, while the 0510670700 has natural-colored housing with PBT insulation. Selection depends on color and material requirements for your application.

Q: Does housing color affect electrical performance?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification parameter. Both black and natural housings provide equivalent electrical performance and environmental protection when used within specified operating conditions.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. All three parts (1722561007, 1722563107, and 0510670700) are supplied as housings without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status for 1722561007?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. Existing inventory may be available, but long-term procurement cannot be guaranteed. The active-status substitutes (1722563107 and 0510670700) provide assured supply for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating, meeting current environmental and reliability standards.
