5607-5102-SH SATA Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5607-5102-SH is a 7-position SATA plug connector manufactured by 3M, designed for solder through-hole PCB mounting applications. This connector features board lock functionality and gold-plated contacts with flash thickness. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5607-5102-SH is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be SATA
• Number of Positions: Must be 7
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination Method: Must be Solder
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet or exceed RoHS requirements

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is the connector style: the 5607-5102-SH is a plug configuration, while all substitute parts are header or shrouded header configurations. This style difference reflects the complementary nature of these components in SATA interconnect systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active components manufactured by Molex and meet or exceed the RoHS compliance requirements of the original 5607-5102-SH. The transition from the obsolete 3M plug connector to active Molex header configurations provides design continuity with enhanced compliance certifications (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant) and REACH unaffected status for most alternatives.

Selection among the Molex substitutes should be based on specific PCB design requirements:

• 0471554001: Recommended for designs requiring board lock functionality equivalent to the original part, with flash gold contact finish.
• 0678008001, 0678008005, 0678008025, 0678008041: Recommended for designs benefiting from enhanced mechanical retention through board guide and friction lock features. Parts 0678008005 and 0678008025 provide thicker gold plating (15.0µin / 0.38µm) compared to flash finishes.

All substitute parts maintain the same 7-position SATA configuration, through-hole solder termination, and MSL 1 rating as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5607-5102-SH be directly replaced with any of the listed Molex parts?

A: Direct replacement depends on connector style compatibility in your PCB design. The 5607-5102-SH is a plug connector, while all substitutes are header or shrouded header configurations. These are complementary connector types in SATA interconnect pairs. Verify your PCB footprint accommodates the header style before selection.

Q: What is the difference between flash gold and 15.0µin (0.38µm) contact finish?

A: Flash gold provides minimal plating thickness for cost efficiency, while 15.0µin (0.38µm) offers thicker gold plating for enhanced durability and contact reliability in high-cycle mating applications. Both finishes meet the electrical requirements for SATA applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original 5607-5102-SH is RoHS Compliant. All Molex substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a higher compliance standard. All parts are suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of board lock versus board guide and friction lock features?

A: Board lock provides mechanical retention through a locking mechanism on the connector body. Board guide and friction lock features provide alignment and retention through guide posts and friction-based locking. Both approaches ensure secure PCB mounting; selection depends on your specific mechanical design requirements.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The 5607-5102-SH packaging is not specified in the provided data. Most Molex substitutes are supplied in Tray packaging, with 0678008041 packaging not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement team for bulk ordering considerations.
