Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-01-03-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type: SATA
• Number of Positions: 7
• Connector Style: Header, Shrouded
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 0471554001 (Molex) satisfies all these criteria and maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0471554001 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Assmann A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-01-03-R. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS3 compliance providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment
• Equivalent regulatory classification (REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Higher inventory availability (5735 units versus 822 units for the original part)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-01-03-R and 0471554001 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through hole), connector style (header, shrouded), and board lock features. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish specifications?

A: The Assmann part specifies gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. The Molex part specifies flash gold finish. Both provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance for SATA applications.

Q: Does the Molex substitute require design changes?

A: No design changes are required. The substitute maintains identical electrical characteristics, pin configuration, and physical dimensions necessary for direct replacement.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-01-03-R has been discontinued by Assmann WSW Components. The Molex 0471554001 remains in active production and is the recommended equivalent for new designs and production continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The Assmann part packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The Molex substitute is supplied in tray packaging, standard for high-volume connector distribution.
