Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-02-02-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type: SATA (electrical interface standard)
• Number of Positions: 7 (pin count and signal routing)
• Connector Style: Header, Shrouded (mechanical form factor and PCB integration)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (assembly process compatibility)
• Termination Method: Solder (connection technology)
• Features: Board Lock (mechanical retention requirement)
• Contact Finish: Gold (electrical performance and reliability)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (storage and handling requirements)

The substitute part 0471554001 meets all these criteria, establishing functional and mechanical interchangeability for PCB-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0471554001 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Assmann A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-02-02-R. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 7-position SATA header configuration, shrouded through-hole design, solder termination, board lock retention, and gold contact finish.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the Assmann part is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (879 pcs), while the Molex equivalent is active production with substantially higher availability (5735 pcs). The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and long-term supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the A-SATA/7-M-BO-C-02-02-R and 0471554001 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 7-position SATA headers with shrouded styling, through-hole mounting, and board lock features. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the gold contact finishes specified for each part?

A: The Assmann part specifies gold contact finish without thickness detail. The Molex part specifies gold flash finish, which is a thin gold plating layer over base metal. Both finishes meet SATA electrical performance requirements and provide equivalent corrosion resistance for this connector class.

Q: Why is the Assmann part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The Molex 0471554001 provides equivalent functionality and is actively manufactured, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement inventory.

Q: Does the Molex part require different PCB design considerations?

A: No. The Molex 0471554001 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including through-hole termination, pin spacing, and board lock engagement. Existing PCB designs require no modification.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which the Assmann part does not specify. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the Molex substitute is the appropriate selection.
