Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 415504-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMB, Mini
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Number of Ports: 1

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack or Receptacle configurations with male pin contact
• Frequency - Max: Equal to or greater than 3 GHz
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed the specified range
• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 335 V
• Compliance Status: RoHS and REACH certifications

The substitute parts identified maintain electrical compatibility through identical impedance, frequency capability, and termination methods. Mechanical compatibility is ensured through matching connector style, mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Molex 0734040390

The Molex 0734040390 is the active product substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 415504-2. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical impedance (75 Ohms), matching termination methods (solder contact and shield), and equivalent mounting configuration (through-hole snap-on). The Molex part exceeds the frequency specification at 4 GHz versus the 3 GHz maximum of the original part, providing enhanced performance margin. The part is currently in active production status with 847 units in stock inventory.

Compliance consideration: The Molex 0734040390 carries ROHS3 Compliant status and is REACH Unaffected, compared to the original part's REACH Affected designation. This represents an improvement in regulatory compliance posture for new designs and ongoing production.

Operating temperature range for the Molex part (-55°C ~ 155°C) is narrower than the original (-65°C ~ 165°C). Applications requiring the full original temperature envelope must account for this limitation.

Secondary Equivalent: TE Connectivity 415504-3

The TE Connectivity 415504-3 is a parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer, maintaining identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) as the original 415504-2. Both parts share the same base product number (415504) and are classified as obsolete. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where manufacturer continuity is required, with 1017 units currently in stock inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0734040390 directly replace the TE Connectivity 415504-2?

A: The Molex 0734040390 is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct replacement in applications operating within the Molex part's temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both parts maintain 75 Ohm impedance, identical solder termination, through-hole mounting, and snap-on fastening. The Molex part's 4 GHz frequency capability exceeds the original 3 GHz specification. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 155°C must use the TE Connectivity 415504-3 equivalent instead.

Q: What is the difference between a Jack and Receptacle connector type?

A: The TE Connectivity 415504-2 is specified as a Jack with male pin contact. The Molex 0734040390 is specified as a Receptacle with male pin contact. Both configurations are mechanically compatible for mating with standard SMB connectors. The functional difference relates to the physical mating interface geometry, not electrical performance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Molex 0734040390 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while the original TE Connectivity 415504-2 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the Molex part provides improved compliance status. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the significance of the 4 GHz frequency rating on the Molex part versus 3 GHz on the original?

A: The Molex 0734040390 is rated for operation up to 4 GHz, while the TE Connectivity 415504-2 is rated to 3 GHz. This represents a performance enhancement in the substitute part. Applications operating at or below 3 GHz are fully compatible with either part. Applications requiring operation between 3 GHz and 4 GHz must use the Molex part.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 415504-3 listed as an equivalent if it is also obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity 415504-3 is a parametric equivalent sharing identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range with the original 415504-2. Both parts are obsolete, but the 415504-3 is currently in stock inventory (1017 units). This part is suitable for applications requiring exact parameter matching and manufacturer continuity, particularly for legacy system support or maintenance applications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations. The part can be stored and handled without time-based restrictions or special moisture control measures. This applies to all three parts listed: 415504-2, 0734040390, and 415504-3.

Q: Are the solder termination specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts—TE Connectivity 415504-2, Molex 0734040390, and TE Connectivity 415504-3—specify solder contact termination and solder shield termination. This ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and soldering equipment.
