Hi @masahiro ,

Welcome to DigiKey TechForum and thanks for your inquiry.


:warning: Compatibility of Molex 1000130181 with QSFP‑DD Cage

  • Molex 1000130181 is a heatsink clip designed specifically for QSFP+ cages, not QSFP‑DD.
  • Your cage, Molex 2031431355, is a QSFP‑DD (Double-Density) assembly.
  • According to the Molex product specification, QSFP‑DD cages use dedicated clips matched to their load-bearing and latch configurations due to different dimensions.

Conclusion: The 1000130181 clip is not compatible with the QSFP‑DD 2031431355 cage.

Unfortunately, there is no suitable alternative.
Thank you.
