Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2312148-1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine substitution validity:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Nano-Pitch I/O (identical interface standard)
• Connector Style: Receptacle (identical mating configuration)
• Number of Positions: 80 (identical pin count and layout)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (identical PCB assembly method)
• Termination Method: Solder (identical connection technology)
• Contact Finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) (identical electrical and corrosion properties)
• RoHS3 Compliance (identical regulatory status)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (identical handling requirements)

The Molex 1731620333 meets all critical parameters and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the TE Connectivity part is Obsolete, while the Molex substitute is Active, providing continued availability and supply chain support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 1731620333

The Molex 1731620333 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2312148-1. Selection rationale is based on the following engineering factors:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance in production and field deployment.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The Molex substitute provides identical electrical interface specifications through matching Nano-Pitch I/O connector type, 80-position configuration, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Surface mount solder termination and receptacle style ensure direct PCB assembly compatibility.

Supply Chain Continuity: The Molex part carries Active product status with 942 units in stock, providing immediate availability and long-term procurement reliability compared to the Obsolete TE Connectivity part.

Packaging Consideration: The Molex substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations. The Pick and Place Cap feature supports automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 1731620333 directly replace the TE Connectivity 2312148-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 80-position Nano-Pitch I/O receptacle configuration, surface mount solder termination, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. PCB footprints and mating interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the Obsolete product status for the TE Connectivity part?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The Molex 1731620333 maintains Active status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are there differences in the connector features between the two parts?

A: Both parts include Board Guide features. The TE Connectivity part includes a Cover, while the Molex substitute includes a Pick and Place Cap. Both features serve protective functions during assembly and handling. The Pick and Place Cap is optimized for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and environmental requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical handling, storage, and environmental performance characteristics.

Q: What packaging format is the Molex substitute supplied in?

A: The Molex 1731620333 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, the standard format for surface mount component assembly. This packaging format is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume PCB manufacturing.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two connectors?

A: No. Both connectors provide identical electrical performance through matching contact finish specifications (gold at 30.0µin thickness), connector type (Nano-Pitch I/O), and position count (80). Electrical impedance, signal integrity, and current-carrying capacity are equivalent.
